I put IPF X51 FATBOY globes in and after 18 months i blew low beam both left and right. You can only buy them in pairs and at $150 for the pair i was a little disapointed. :x

Maybe you would be better off putting HID Xenon globes in instead of higher wattage halogens. They give of more light with less wattage, roughly about 4 times the amount of white light.

I installed a set of Phillips Crystal Vision H4 60/55W Globes. They are extremely bright.. this is part of the advert for them

UV block quartz glass used

High color temperature output
4300K

stylish white light output enables driving with confidence

Better reflections of road-markings and road-signs.

These lights have a very slight blue tinge... hardly noticable... and because they are the same wattage they will not blow your fuses or wiring... Got them off Ebay..Current item number is (9130093529246) Cost $78 + postage
