Thinking about getting a pair of these for my motorbike now the evenings are getting darker.
Has anyone ever tried these? are they worth the £60?
I presume they are legal but confused what 55=110W means
as I don't like blinding other motorists with a 110W bulb, especially if there coming towards me.
Any opinions?
Cheers

Cool

Haven't used them myself, but have seen a few posts where folk say they don't last long for the price, and others who say they do!
I use Philips "Vision Plus" 50% brighter, and they're pretty good on a Scoob.

My brother had a set of these and they conked out after not too long - same sentiments not worth the money for the life.

I've used the PIAA bulbs before, they are fantastic ! They are also fantastically expensive and fantastically fragile.
Go for Philips Vision Plus, just as good, much cheaper, last longer !

I'm using PIAA Super Whites at the moment and find them much much better. The Extremes are Illegal if you didn't already know. The wattage and output is to high. Costly but i've seen them on a friends scooby and they look very very nice. Give off a kind of whitish/purple light which is very bright. I'll sell mine soon in favour of the Extremes!

I bought some Extremes and fitted them on the weekend must say an improvement over the superwhites. Dont know how much by, but they do look more whiter and as it says on the box "closest to H.I.D yet". Will try to take some pics soon.

I'm thinking of getting a pair of the H4 PIAA Xtremes.

Any more comments?

I currently use Philips +50%
