Default PIAA Xtreme White Plus Bulbs

Has anyone got any experience with these Halogen bulbs?

I'm thinking of investing in a pair for my Bugeye in the winter and would like to know if they're worth the price tag.

Cheers.

They aren't worth the money.

Wait until Hell Frauds go back to BOGOF, then buy their 90% uprated bulbs at half price. They are made by GE and are worth having.

Alternatively, look at Philips Vision Plus and Osram Nightbreakers.

Or invest in HID's, but be aware that they are supposed to be offroad only

The problem with Halfrauds lamps is that they don't last very long.

I've gone back to Philips X-Treme Power +80%, I used the Halfrauds when a lamp blew at a weekend and I couldn't get Philips, but they didn't last 3 months.

I took the blown lamp back with a receipt and the muppets would only change the one blown lamp and not the pair, so that's the last lamps that I buy from them.

I actually have a spare pair of X-Treme's now.

HIDs, far better light output and likely you won't need to replace them for the life of the car.
