Philips Vision Plus or OSRAM Silverstar claim 60% and 50% more light on the road than standard halogens. Philips X-treme Vision or OSRAM Night Breaker Plus claim 100% and 90% more light on the road than standard halogens. If you want maximum output halogen bulbs get high performance halogen bulbs. Having said all that if you want the Xenon look go ahead and get them, just don't expect the light output to be better. Do not believe any hype the manufactures tell you, Xenon look bulbs have been independently tested and shown to have diminished light output. Regular halogens outperform xenon look halogens. However the light output from these bulbs is diminished due to blue coating. So manufacturers coat halogen bulbs with a bluish coating so the halogen bulbs throw a bluish white light giving it a Xenon look. HID/Xenons throw a whitish blue light some people like that look versus the yellowish light from halogens. ![]() HID and Xenon (most people use the terms interchangeably) are a whole different technology that use ballasts to power the bulbs. Halogen is one type of technology it uses the standard type bulbs cars have been using for the past 50yrs. Halogen and HID/xenon are two different technologies (keep in mind this is a vast oversimplification) There seems to be some confusion over what type of bulb you need and the diff b/t halogen and HID/Xenon.
