Hi Andy,

I was all set on trying the Philips Xtreme, as a friend highly recommended them to me. However, his older brother has just bought the new Ring XenonUltima's. He reckons there is not much in it but the Rings have the edge.

Both brothers previously had night breakers and both say the newer bulbs are far superior.  :confused:

I think for the price I'll try the Ring XenonUltima's.  :happy2:

I have the Phillips Xtreme bulbs and find them to be better than the OEM ones (what isn't) but those Ring H7 Ultima's look very good for the price, might be worth a punt. Good find Carlo.

To supplement the Xenon headlights on the Czech Machine I have used Halfords Ultra Brilliance for the Main Beam and there is a noticeable improvement.  :happy2:
