Phillips makes a good bulb I have the Crystal Visions in my Bush Buggy. Pretty bright even through my bush gaurd.

Yeah, I see what you mean. As far as I know, there are very few halogen bulbs spec'd much over 4000ºK. The Eurolights are 4100ºK according to the spec.
I've been looking into alternatives to the Eurolights. $35 per year is okay, and they are bright, but there are some newer bulbs on the market. I checked into the HID route, but the only ones I feel comfortable buying are Philips ($350) or McCulloch ($250). All of the $50-80 options are basically the same Chinese product, imo. And based on some of the problems I've seen people having in the HID thread, I'm not convinced it's worth doing.
After some searching for better halogens, I found these:
Lots of good reviews from other forums, and some good photos of the beams. Since the X-Tremes are legal 55W bulbs, I'm curious to see how they stack up next to the Eurolights. Bulbs are on the way, so if they get here before my other bulb fails, I'll try to get a photo of the new & old for comparison.
Aaron can you provide a link to where you purchased them and possibly any links to peoples reviews of them. Thanks

I ordered from http://www.suvlights.com
At this time, I can't recommend the seller, as I've not received the bulbs yet, and have never dealt with them before. These bulbs have only been available in the US for a year, and still are hard to find. Supposedly Meijer and K-Mart dept stores carry, but I could not find them locally.
