Is this the best bulb for us
« on: March 23, 2012, 09:01:32 pm »
Philips Xtreme Power H7 Bulbs - read this in the review section and a few members swear by it.

i'm after improved visibility and excellent "white" brightness but would also look at bulbs with a subtle hint of blue.

I've tried the Phillips and the Osram Nightbreakers but have to say the Mtec ones are best IMHO  like these

I know the light is whiter but what about the beam pattern and light emitted. I wouldnt want to sacrifice the distance of light and visibility purely for looks. I use the osram nightbreaker and they are fantastic on dark country lanes.
