Hella H71070367 Optilux XB Series HB1 HB4 9006 Xenon White Halogen Bulbs, 12V, 80W, 2 Pack

So here's the deal.... For those of you who want HID light output, but don't have an HID equipped vehicle - STOP buying $50 bulbs, i.e. Silverstar's, PIAA's, etc. I had a nice long chat with a master mechanic at the Honda dealership here in Portland and we discussed light output on vehicles. He was very clear that the only way to increase the amount of light output from your car's stock headlights is to increase the bulb wattage. Think about it this way...in your lamp at home, if you have a 60 watt bulb in it and you replace it with a different brands 60 watt bulb, are you really expecting it to be any brighter?? Doesn't make much sense does it. Now, if you were to purchase a 100 watt bulb to replace your 60 watt bulb at home, you would expect a dramatic difference in light output correct? Exactly. This was the way he explained it to me. He also told me that although the stock bulbs do give off that ugly "yellow" hue to the color of the light output, it is technically better than the "blued" light that comes from Silverstar Ultra's. The blue filters out the yellow spectrum light which makes that nice white we all like...but here's the problem; IT FILTERS OUT THE YELLOW LIGHT. Meaning that it takes away a % of the available light, causing there to be less useable light put on to the road. So while the white is preferred, you lose actual light output....no matter what the box says. So I purchased these lights. They are 85 watts and blue...this means that while the blue may filter out some to the useable light, the wattage will more than compensate for the loss of "yellow" light. End result, my headlights (Hi's and Low's) are fantastically bright now. I will never go back to a stock wattage again. And for those of you wondering if there are any negatives to increasing bulb wattage; yes, there can be in certain vehicles. The mechanic at Honda told me that he knows for a fact that HONDA, ACURA, INFINITI, MAZDA and LEXUS have beefier wiring units that can easily handle the increase in wattage. Much of this is due to the fact that imports are highly modified with aftermarket lighting and the manufacturers take this into account when wiring the vehicles. On the other hand, He said that he has seen some fuse issues with Chevy and Ford vehicles. If you own one of these, you will need to purchase a better harness that can handle the increased wattage. I hope this helps...I searched long and hard and finally found the bulb that outperforms the "best." It looks great and puts lots of light on the road. Good Luck!

Amazing headlight bulbs 10/10. Bright white love the color!

They put out the hid blue light without the hid setup. I’m really happy with the bulbs.

I love these bulbs, I put them in numerous headlights and fog lights. They are the widest I have found in a stock Plug and Play configuration. Way less headache than dealing with LEDs

purchased lights on 11-15-25 and not even 2 months later 1-13-26 lights are all ready dead. tried to get in contact with company regarding warranty and nothing. i would not recommend this brand anymore. it used to be good and not anymore. i have had better luck with some of the cheaper bulbs

Mounted these on a 2001 Chevy Suburban 2500 equipped with Depo Projector headlights. These are rated at 80watts. Many of the Sylvanias, Phillips, PIAA, etc are rated at 65watts. With ONLY 15 watts difference you won't notice a huge change in light output, especially driving on open roads. When driving alleys or tree lined roads it is much more noticeable. The light is brighter and whiter than the 1-year-old Sylvania ZXEs they replaced. After 80watt bulbs the next step up is 100watts. The 65 and 80watt bulbs already make the headlight housing pretty warm and I'm worried that 100watt bulbs might discolor or melt the housing. If you want more light than the 85watt provide I suggest adding a set of Fog or Driving lights.

They worked so well on the first car, I got a set for the other car. I tried LED replacements; they were whiter light but they didn't really give better range because the reflector is designed for a bulb. These bulbs fixen my night vision.

I'm pleased with the look more than anything. The high beams are noticeably brighter than before and illuminate out a bit farther than stock lights in my 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid. You will also notice that anything with a reflective surface is visible further out than before. My only complaint would be that under orange or white street lighting these lights seem less noticeable on the pavement. If you are looking for cheap replacement bulbs or something whiter than stock, you'll be hard pressed to find something cheaper with the same quality.
