[QUOTE="Victor320, post: 193196, member: 2014"] In general, people have been disappointed after changing to bulbs that advertise extra output at the same wattage (55W). There are many choices out there, one of the more popular choices is the Osram Silverstar bulbs which you can get in ENEOS. They are not tinted blue but somehow put out a whiter light with more output. I personally have the Silverstar and don't think it's worth the switch. The increase in output is very slight and not that noticeable. It's also only a little bit more white. The Philips Xenon Xtreme White sounds like they'll be tinted blue. In that case, don't buy it. It may LOOK brighter because somehow our eyes interpret whiter as brighter. But the output (in lumens) will be less. Any tint is a colour filter and will decrease output. The Plus Vision sounds like the Osram Silverstar I have described above. In the end, halogen is halogen as long as they are the same wattage. [/QUOTE]
