I got my new Euro lights, and I'm curious to what the concensus is on bulbs.

POLL!!!!!! make your vote, and write a little about WHY.

i have some Bosch in my car now.

I have absolutely no idea, but I'd guess they're glass ones with a filament inside.

LOL.

Sylvania Silverstar low beams in the E300. Didn't wanna drop $$$ for the OEM xenon enclosures.

I have the Phillips (Wagner) UltraBlue Halogens, just put them in a little over a month ago. HUGE improvement in light output and visibility over my old Sylvania standard halogens...which had water inside them! Also, I got them in a phillips automotive lighting sale at Meijer for $18 for the pair!

Yes, I have one with water in the lights,too. I also have water, in the lights on one of my Freightliners. I keep my Gold-Fish "Wally" in there though. He's a great look-out for trouble, and is always the first on the scene, in an accident situation. He's only got a three second memory, so the cops take his statement first all the time. He likes Texas the best...Never mind why.. We're in Phoenix, Az. for tonight, and through the weekend though.

I get h4 euro bulbs from a place in Britain -- powerbulbs.co.uk. They can ship the two most popular +50 bulbs, Osram Silverstar and Philips Vision Plus, for about $36 per pair shipped. Both bulbs will deliver noticeably more (not "bluer") light than standard 55w60 h4 bulbs, IME, and have proven reasonably durable in my cars. I have a pair of each that have lasted through about 15K-20K miles of night driving.

Powerbulbs apparently has a new high-output product from Philips, but I can't comment on that from firsthand experience.

LOL, thanks for the afternoon chuckle.

I like the Philips Plus 30s, lights up the next county

When I switched to Euros earlier this year, I just used regular old H4 55/60W lamps that I found at O'Reily's. For the fog lamps, I ordered some selective yellow Hella H3 55W Yellowstar bulbs that put out a yellow beam of light. The only thing I don't like about them is they don't appear yellow in the lamps themselves when the lights are on.

how yellow is the beam? is it as yellow as a foglight would be with a yellow filter lens?
