    They are not that great. I think they got carried away with the blue coating on the bulb. I’ve already tried them, they were disappointing. The GE Megalight +130 are far better.

    GE Megalight +130 vs Osram Nightbreaker Laser +150.

    If you use the discount code on the power bulbs site (which is always 20-25% off) it’s about $35 for the GE +130’s. They take about 2-3 weeks to get to the US and seem to always be in stock.

    They have 25% off now, expires tonight and will likely go back to 20%. My last set of bulbs from them arrived in 10 days, to the Seattle area.

    Just ordered the H11 +130 from powerbulbs. Thanks very much @crashnburn80 for the very informative and well written posts. I am wanting to go HID but will use these for now. I'm sure they will be better than stock and may wane my want for the HID's. Now it's time to upgrade my reverse lights and possibly the high beams! I'll do a bit more reading of your posts to see what bulbs to go with for both of those.

    For reverse:

    I’ve got a few things I’m exploring for high beam. I’ll share them here in the next 1-2 weeks.

    You guys have it easy! I burn so much cash buying all the products to determine what is best and end up with a lot of disappointing products that were a complete waste of money.
