HellaH71070367 Optilux XB Series HB1 HB4 9006 Xenon White Halogen Bulbs, 12V, 80W, 2 Pack

Amazing headlight bulbs 10/10. Bright white love the color!

So here's the deal....For those of you who want HID light output, but don't have an HID equipped vehicle - STOP buying $50 bulbs, i.e. Silverstar's, PIAA's, etc. I had a nice long chat with a master mechanic at the Honda dealership here in Portland and we discussed light output on vehicles. He was very clear that the only way to increase the amount of light output from your car's stock headlights is to increase the bulb wattage.Think about it this way...in your lamp at home, if you have a 60 watt bulb in it and you replace it with a different brands 60 watt bulb, are you really expecting it to be any brighter?? Doesn't make much sense does it. Now, if you were to purchase a 100 watt bulb to replace your 60 watt bulb at home, you would expect a dramatic difference in light output correct? Exactly.This was the way he explained it to me. He also told me that although the stock bulbs do give off that ugly "yellow" hue to the color of the light output, it is technically better than the "blued" light that comes from Silverstar Ultra's. The blue filters out the yellow spectrum light which makes that nice white we all like...but here's the problem; IT FILTERS OUT THE YELLOW LIGHT. Meaning that it takes away a % of the available light, causing there to be less useable light put on to the road. So while the white is preferred, you lose actual light output....no matter what the box says.So I purchased these lights. They are 85 watts and blue...this means that while the blue may filter out some to the useable light, the wattage will more than compensate for the loss of "yellow" light.End result, my headlights (Hi's and Low's) are fantastically bright now. I will never go back to a stock wattage again.And for those of you wondering if there are any negatives to increasing bulb wattage; yes, there can be in certain vehicles. The mechanic at Honda told me that he knows for a fact that HONDA, ACURA, INFINITI, MAZDA and LEXUS have beefier wiring units that can easily handle the increase in wattage. Much of this is due to the fact that imports are highly modified with aftermarket lighting and the manufacturers take this into account when wiring the vehicles. On the other hand, He said that he has seen some fuse issues with Chevy and Ford vehicles. If you own one of these, you will need to purchase a better harness that can handle the increased wattage.I hope this helps...I searched long and hard and finally found the bulb that outperforms the "best." It looks great and puts lots of light on the road.Good Luck!

very bright with a blue tint

Alumbran mucho muy buenas

They worked so well on the first car, I got a set for the other car. I tried LED replacements; they were whiter light but they didn't really give better range because the reflector is designed for a bulb. These bulbs fixen my night vision.

Bought a set of these for my wife's Sienna. Driver's side burned out in less than a year. Hella's warranty SPECIFICALLY exempts the XB line.Get something else, these are Hella's cheap-o crap line.Edit: Got a set of Sylvania SilverStar zXe xenons. MUCH better product.

Mounted these on a 2001 Chevy Suburban 2500 equipped with Depo Projector headlights. These are rated at 80watts. Many of the Sylvanias, Phillips, PIAA, etc are rated at 65watts.With ONLY 15 watts difference you won't notice a huge change in light output, especially driving on open roads. When driving alleys or tree lined roads it is much more noticeable. The light is brighter and whiter than the 1-year-old Sylvania ZXEs they replaced.After 80watt bulbs the next step up is 100watts. The 65 and 80watt bulbs already make the headlight housing pretty warm and I'm worried that 100watt bulbs might discolor or melt the housing.If you want more light than the 85watt provide I suggest adding a set of Fog or Driving lights.

I was expecting lots of bright light in front on my rig and people flashing their high beams at me because these are 80W! Illegally bright headlamps. Nope. Unless there is something nearby in front of the vehicle, or tall grass, trees, or a guardrail on the side of the road, I can barely see the light unless it is pitch black night. It appears that there is an adequate amount of light perhaps, but the color is such that it is just hard to tell that they are on if there is any other light around. In city driving, I can't tell they are on from inside the cab. When I switch to high beams, I can see the yellow light clearly. These give a light that is about the same color as the road so it's real hard to tell.
