I have currently in the Impala Xtra Visions in both 9006 and the brights 9005. I'm practically blind at night until my updated glasses decide to come and my wife had seen a few deer that I barely had. And she cannot drive at night without difficulty. So combining these bulbs when/if they and my glasses come I should be set; since they don't make "Target Seeking Shotguns" options on cars like Q did the Aston Martin in Die Another Day.

I went for their own branded Powerbulb deal. They have buy one get one free deal (PB Power Plus H4 - 2 sets i.e. 4 bulbs for approx $35 shipped). These are "only" 50% better rather than 90% better as claimed for Philips Xtreme. I think I would be happy with "only" 50% improvement without short life. My OEMs have lasted 10 years and I want my replacements to last!

Next up for the fiancee's car when the Xtreme Powers burn out is a DRL rewire, some 65/70 watt H4's, and a relay harness. That should be a lot of light, and last a long time. That's about a year or so away. If it's longer, I'll be happier.

If you can go with HIR they are the most lumens/watt you can get besides HID, and still work properly in the halogen bulb enclosure. Sold in 9005 and 9006 equivalents only.

I think that the HIR bulb at least one of the sizes are being disscontinued by Toshiba...

Low beam (9012) is discontinued. I was not really impressed with the low beam (9006 equivalent) but the high beam is awesome (9005 equivalent).

Okay! I get it Philips X Treme Vision. Sooo where do I get some?

I prefer these guys for all things bulb related

the philip xtreme power bulbs have the blue tint on the glass! I thought that people stated that this bulb doesn't have the blue tint? Are these the bulbs that everyone is speaking of?

Hard to tell from a photo, its supposed to be clear glass.

From what I read it is clear in the important areas and blue in the other areas to give it that "white look". It is not entirely blue.

It does have that lumens robbing blue tint. In my book, that alone is enough to rule them out.

Exactly!! I'll stay with what I have now which are the sylvania xtravision. I couldn't believe that is what people were on here cheering about. You can clearly see the blue tint over the WHOLE BULB.

Not much blue on them, I don't really see how that little band is going to rob much usable light.
