Got bulbs?
I recently ordered bulbs form this site www.cartoka.com decided to get the Fusion series. Great bulbs and fast shipping. The light that comes out of these bulbs are of a blue tint.

EURODEZIGNS BLUE 5200K XENON KRYPTON from xenons4less. I think they ended up costing me $20 shipped. They took longer to arrive then they lasted.

Does anyone know of an independent test of bulbs? I'm sure one of the Sport Compact mags had done one? There are so many choices out there now, and you hear as many horror stories as good reviews. I tried a Google search a bunch of different ways, but came up empty handed.

I know there are tons of threads on these, but they are all individual opinions. That's what I was looking for a head to head test from an independent source that just say "A is brighter than B, D is whiter then E, H lasts longer than C", etc.

There are links in some of these posts to a servey conducted in UK. So far the best bulb is Philips VisionPlus. If you want better, go HID. (Some use overwatted bulbs, but this is unwise).

Check out my two threads...
BEFORE & AFTER
https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...highlight=bulb
Note: Despite first post I did not get the VisionPlus for low beams only for hi beams because while they are brighter then regular DOT bulbs, they're still plain-jane lookin'.

and for a better picture
