i ordered 2 sets on the 11th of april and i just got a email today stating i will need to wait another 10days+ since my order wasn't put in. Also autolamp didn't have the phillips bulbs in stock. Meaning i'll probably end up waiting more than 10+days since autolamp still doesn't have the bulbs in stock. Why am mad? I went through this thread and a fellow ht member posted that i should contact autolamp to make sure they have them in stock. I emailed them and they confirmed they had them in stock and my order was going to be shipped out in the next 24hrs. Usually i'm very patient with these things but i've been waiting for 9 days and i end up getting this email. I might cancel my order with them and go else where. I honestly was hoping to get them by this week...
damn i sound like my gf on her period haha...sorry guys i'm stressing on my finals and my car has been acting up on me too... </TD></TR></TABLE>
Man that's sucks. I got my Philips X-treme H4 Bulbs lightening fast. I ordered them on April 18th, Friday, and received them April 21st, Monday.

update, autolamps replied back that they just got a shipment of the phillips bulbs and my order should be sent out today or tomorrow. They will also be shipping them express , so hopefully i get them some time this week or next week.

Sorry, I wish I did. I didn't have a camera on me when I intalled the bulbs. It was pretty similar to the pictures on the first page between the philips and ge honda.

I bought a pair a few months ago for my 95 hatch. The low beams suck on these, but the high beams are definitely good. They look exactly how people post them on here.

Re: OEM vs. Nighthawk vs. X-Treme +80%: The Showdown <56K Intense> (Eran)
My results were pretty great IMO, but the outcome didn't reach my heightened expectations. I'm not sure what brand the Old Bulbs were (they came with the car) but they were definitely from GE.
Sorry, my highlights need a big time adjustment.
GE Old Bulbs (Low-Beam)
Philips Xtreme Power Bulbs (Low-Beam)
GE Old Bulbs (High-Beam)
Philips Xtreme Power Bulbs (High-Beam)
The Philips Xtreme Power Bulbs do have an impressive lead over the GE Old Bulb's in the Low-Beam department but the Philips Xtreme Power High-Beams had only slightly better lighting then the GE Old Bulb's High-Beams.
I'm pretty satisfied with these bulbs and would recommend them to anyone, but I think that +80% more light was a bit of an exaggeration and $40 was a bit over paid. Thanks for reading.

Big ole for these bulbs.

Identical exposures for both these shots. New headlight bulbs are simply amazing, visibility at night is greatly improved. No noticeable blue in the light beam itself or when you look at the actual headlight during the day with the lights off, both of which I hate with those shitty blue coated bulbs that everyone uses.

Old thread I know but I just picked some up at super autobacs and hopefully they are the same ones. Packaging looks different but they were 26.99 so i'm hoping they are the same. From the bulb pictures they look exactly the same, have yet to put them in. I guess if anyone wants updates I'll do that.

How's the bulb life? I do a lot of night driving and my bulbs tend to last longer than everyone else's. I'm not a scientist but I think a bulb that is on for one longer stint will last longer than a bulb that goes through many on/off cycles in the same amount of time.

So to replace my oem low and high beams I need to order x2 of the h4 or one h4 and one 9300 set? Sorry I just want to clarify. Thanks

Technically 9003 (aka HB2, technically for cars) and H4 (technically for motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles, etc) are different bulbs but practically they are the same. A lot of these bulbs are actually marked 9003 and H4 on the base.
Anyways, you just need to buy a pair.

Thanks I went ahead and ordered a pair of the phillips extreme h4's. 40 bucks without shipping isnt bad at all.

Great thread. I just bought some for $42. I know it's been a few years since the last post. But can anyone tell me how long their bulbs lasted?
Thanks
