   As the title sujests, im after brighter headlights and have seen that these are the most popular yes? Both seem to be the same price on the bay, so whats your opinion on which to buy? I cant decide lol.

   well, I have night breakers! They are nice bright and white/blue tint on main beam,.. As i never had HID conversion kit because i didn't want to cause hassel to myself and also i don't know how to do it, these are easy upgrades imo, that's better than the stock lights

   the H4 looks very complicated to do on the HIDs. On mine it was just a couple of plugs and tuck away the ballasts which took me 5 mins. however it is the more expensive choice and its your choice if you want the real HID or just an effect...

   After you tinted your headlights did they lose alot of their shine and length? I did mine and they look really good, but the lights are crap now, the fogs shine further than main beam lol. So im going to see if some night breakers help

    If you worry about other people and face your HIDs down (like me) to avoid blinding others then they are shit and can't see anything.
    
    As for the halogens I've never tried either so can't comment.

    What about the Philips XTREME vision bulbs? Are those better than the osram night breakers? THanks
