Default Try a before and after shot....

on a dark road with no street lights. Preferably in the following setting: You will mount yourself on the hood (somehow). The setting should be a paved road with dotted lines (double yellow ok) with shrubery or trees on either side of you lining the road. The light you generate before and after your bulb swap is isolated more on the road. The perspective is gained from the woodlands to the left and right of you.

This should give the right exposure. Similar to those Shell gas commercials of where the biotch swerves and misses the deer.

Are those Extreme White H7s? If so, WHERE ON EARTH DID YOU FIND THEM?

Default I got mine from Demon Tweaks in the UK. They were overpriced and one blew out in about 6 months.

Default No. Plasma FX.

They match main lights from far, but are more blue than main lights up close. Not sure how the Extreme whites look, but it might be even better... a little to pricey to try different ones. Got them from eautoworks. Doesn't look like they have them any more, but they show the Extreme white bulbs as being available.<ul><li><a href="http://www.eautoworks.com">http://www.eautoworks.com</a</li></ul>

Default They aren't legal in the US. I was unable to find a shop here in the states that could get them.

They are also a bit more blue than the HID's although it doesn't reflect well in the pictures.

DOT is about to certify the PIAA Extreme H7s. Shouldn't be more than another 6 months.
