Used the Silverstar, yes brighter than normal bulbs. But at the cost of its
life. Does not last long.

Why don't u try something cheaper yet brighter than normal, not sure if it
is as bright as Philips or Osram. Koito Whitebeam OEM , 3800K. I bought
it from sparepart shop for RM25 each. This one, life span is not affected
and will last just as long as normal ones. There's also a whiter Whitebeam
by Koito, and it is 4200K I think. It's called Whitebeam 2 if not mistaken
and this one is sold as retail and is more expensive.

Koito is OEM for Toyota lamps and is Japanese made. I am using it and did
a comparison check with the original, with one original, the other lamp
with Whitebeam, and there is a huge significant improvement. 3800K is
white/yellow, so don't expect it to be purely white.

Maybe you should try Phillips X-treme Power, said to be 80% brighter than
normal halogen bulbs or the brightest available today.

I'm looking for H4 bulbs to replace my HID h4 8000K. Still wondering which
one to choose. There is OSRAM cool Blue, Osram Silverstar and OSRAM Night
Breaker. But i need to make consideration, will JPJ kacau or not. So, if
can.. can u share the price list of the 3 items as well.

SVS = RM45
Night Breaker = RM90

SVS and Night Breaker won't be kacau-ed coz they are still yellow.

Night Breaker whiter and brighter than SVS

Philips better superior quality than Osram. Take note the earlier uses
quartz-glass, while the later option uses mineral-glass.
Toyota OEM use Philips HID-kit, bulbs etc.
Just FI, don't waste $$ into getting after-market immitation bulbs.
Products claimed to be fantastic, but ultimatum, simply BS.

went to ph auto just now and was got a pair of philips vision plus for
RM73 after discount konon.(the lowest aldy after much bargaining the tauke
still wont lower to RM70)..Cool blue costs RM58. Took my car back to Honda
SC ask them to fix it but guess what they refused saying it voids the
warranty.. wondering how could this be since the power output is the same..
