Edited to say have looked at their site and it says they are 80w (pretty sure mine are 55/60w) - can it not cause problems with the wiring loom...

A quote from the web site...
"Please note that you should always run the equivilant wattage rated bulb that came as stock equipment. Increasing wattage over a factory specification can possibly cause damage to wiring, connectors and reflectors. Higher wattage bulbs also possess a shorter life span due to the higher operating tempratures"

The bulbs on offer are 80/80's.
There are threads in lighting which talk about melting but when I have read through them I can only find one or two meltdowns among the 10's of oks. So it is personal choice.
They would be illegal for road use and would have to be for show use only
Cost would be the $10 plus whatever the p&p plus exhange charges would be.
If still interested then mail me to show commitment and I will contact the US when I have 20 or so.

Why not just go to http://www.powerbulbs.com ? They are probably next door to you. I got a set of Philips VisionPlus H4 60/55W with free side lights and shipped to South Africa at no extra cost(19.50squid). The lights are awesome. Now I can see!

Hope this Helps

errr, not quite!
They want £43.48 for a single bulb or £85.19 for a pair.And yes, they are they same, and i type as i read.... super White H4 bulb draws 80/80w produces 135/115w.
Rip off Britian again??
Dave, YHM m8!!
Oh, like been said, they are not street legal, they are for show use only and they will not melt your wiring as the current draw is not enough.(i`m running 130/130 a.t.m with no problems)

Geoffn ...
the actual cost will be dependant on the number I order (if they still have any left).
The cost will be the total divided by the number of bulbs.
Cost will be made up of
bulbs $10 each
p&p $20 - $25 for twenty bulbs
commission charge for credit card . £?
so assume at worst a $2 per bulb overhead
plus a £1 this side for p&p.
the current exchange rate would mean approx £9.50 a bulb or £19.00 a pair.
RB's unc
I'll see what response we get over the weekend to try and get costs down. But I will most likely put an order in on Tuesday.
A lot of people said they wanted them but haven't mailed me !
Dave
Edited to add Uk p&p as well.
