www.piaa.co.uk have a nice selection. You can pay a fortune to get the "Xenon" effect, but none of them really beat the real thing. The Extreme White ones that I'm using at the moment are a very white shade, rather than yellow. Platinum white ones are cheaper - and emarked (i.e. road-legal)

Autoexpress Bulb Test

If you go to

http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/indexwelcome.html

and choose Specials ==> Product Tests from the menus they have tests/comments for various bulbs incl PIAA and BlueVision.

Personally I've just installed Osram Silverstar 1 pr H7s and 2 prs of H1s came to about £65 from www.powerbulbs.com. Similar set of PIAA bulbs would have come to about £160. I'm really chuffed with the Osrams and they came top in the Autoexpress test!!

I run PIAA Extreme Whites and found the difference ammazing. Should be seriously considered when new bulbs are required. And now its of to Castle Combe (wife is nagging lol)

I've used the blue vision bulbs before and wasn't very impressed. PIAA Xtreme White are much better.
