Has anyone ever used H7 PIAA bulbs? Everywhere I look they seem to be around £50 or more (twice the cost of two sets of Xtreme Powers); wondering if are they any good for both light output and HID look?
The Xtreme Powers are good for light but I find they still look yellow.
Here are some road legal PIAA's I've been looking at:
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PIA...1995wt_958
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PIA...1993wt_958
Are they worth the price?

They are 200 lumens brighter than Philips but don't last as long [about 4-6 months shorter than philips based on regular use]

Is a brightness of an extra 200 lumens a lot or not much?
