Hey guys,
Im going to be change my brand of H4 globes ive been using Phillips Blue vision globes for my car, But im dissapointed with the life span i get out of them im only getting around 4 months out of a pair of H4s its not a wiring thing as one will blow and the other is fine for a little while. So I would like to know what H4 globes you are using and your experiences with brands and types of globes in your AU? Cheers Mark |

I've been using Narva ones for a while. Can't go wrong with one of those brands. Have been using it since, pre xmas. And you could say I drive a fair bit at night, so they get turned on a fair amount.
I got the legal ones. Blue Vision or maybe Diamond Vision, i think they are called.

I've found the blue and white vision globes don't seem to work to good in the wet when the weather is bad. I now use the Narva Plus 50's.

JSM HID Bi-Xenon in mine.
Full HID globe replacement ... including ballasts and hi/low switch and extra relays. I have no problem seeing at dusk or in the rain at night. Life expectany is 10 times longer than Halogen globes ... light clarity is 3 times better as well. Here's a rough picture on what it looks like on grass in the front yard

It's the Bi-Xenon H4 kit ... not the Xenon/Halogen high/low kit a lot of places on eBay are selling for the H4s. Mine cost me $550 ... but they are dropping in price though. The Narva kit is in excess of $1000 still.
