Headlight Questions - Which Bulbs? PIAA, Osram, Philips

[rick3000]

Hi Everyone,

My low beams have been dim to the point of uselessness for a while. I decided to sort them out today. Opened up my year old new-to-me clears and no rust or connection issues.

I then discovered all four H7 55W bulbs are PIAA H7 XTreme Plus bulbs (about $35 each). I swapped the high beam and low beam H7 bulbs. Problem solved for the lows, but something about becoming high beams caused both of the previously dim H7's to fail instantly. (I was hoping that would happen to confirm they where on they way out.)

I have now swapped the highs out with Philips H7's from my old set of amber headlights.

Two questions:
Does anyone have experience with full strength PIAA H7's? I am concerned about causing ellowing/burning/bubbling?? They are H7 55W.

I also have a set of Osram H7's from my old amber set. Should I use those instead of the Philips or PIAA? Again, my primary concern is to avoid yellowing/burning/bubbling?

Thanks,
-Rick
