whether its made in the usa, france, or venus, 130 watts is 130 watts. I would love to see what a stock wiring harness would look like after mere minutes bring run at 130 watts. thats like running a 2000 watt stereo system with 8g wire

Whatever happened to the GE Nightvision bulbs? I wonder if those are along the same lines.

I've used OSRAM nightbreaks while waiting to do a retrofit. THey are definately brighter than oem bulbs. They were only like 27 bucks shipped to me and got them in less than a week. High beams are pretty dang bright on these. Low beams are a huge improvement as well, especially over stock.

Ive noticed alot of "cheap" kits getting even cheaper and more abundant, but you get what you pay for, and the $300 kits are dependable. Buy a cheap kit and when the bulbs blow in a month you are at the same money spot as just buying a good japanese kit in the first place,IMOP.
