H7 Hi performance bulbs

[motofranz]

I have been using PIAA extreme white bulbs in my BMW RT (3rd bulb in a couple of years) but they don't last very long due to the high heat that comes with the brighter light.
Just wondering if it is worth the price of $50+ dollars when they ony last about 10 months.
Anyone got any suguestions on a longer lasting bulb?

I bought some Phillips bulbs from England that were bright whites.  They worked much better and lasted me 2 years until I sold the bike.  The only problem is you have to import them to the States.

I took my expensive Osram to the auto parts store and looked at all the bulbs until I found one that looked just like it for 500% less $$$.

I put it in right next to the Osram still on the bike.  They look identical in brightness and color.

I'll be buying my bulbs that way from now on.

How about turning the rest of us on to the specifics of your discovery, brand, etc...

I wish I would have been sharp enough to pay attention.  I was in a hurry to get on the road, late, for the AMA races at Road America.  By the time I got home, the package was gone with the trash.  I'm thinking I should be able to do it again...I hope.
