My passenger side is blown so I'm gonna take advantage and replace both with something like H4 Philips Xtreme Power +80% or H4 Osram NightBreaker +90%. Both seem to be about £22 a pair. Anyone got any (dis)recommendations for either, or alternatives?

edited to add: and probably some matching T4W Philips BlueVision sidelights too?

TIA!

Xtremes very, very good and straight replacement.

Just put Xtremes on my Griffith, absolutely brilliant, no pun intended!

Just purchased Xtreams on my Chim - huge improvement.

I currently have a 80/100W on the passenger side (make unknown but it was already fitted when I bought the car) and a 55/60W Xtream on the drivers side - Yes thats right 2 different bulbs.

The 55/60W Xtream bulb although being the lower wattage is a LOT brighter than the 80/100W bulb. I'll try and take some pics later when its getting dark. Seeing both bulbs side by side when fitted at the same time is a great way for comparison.

no-one tried the Osrams then? Looks like I'll invest in the modwise brighter lights kit with a pair of Xtremes....

Thanks!
