Just keep in mind, jaycee88, that as the +x gets higher and higher, lifespan will get shorter and shorter. Keep spares, and replace in pairs.
That's true, though Philips has taken steps to improve the lifespan of their Xtreme bulbs. For example, the glass capsule is much smaller in diameter. That means the glass gets hotter/quicker, which means the halogen cycle starts sooner and operates more efficiently, thus boosting filament life compared to a larger capsule. The lifespan of an Xtreme bulb is, in my experience, about equal to the lifespan of a 64205.

And saves a tiny bit of glass in the process! Take THAT, IPF FatBoy!
I ordered a set of Vosla +100's - was a little disappointed that they had light blue tint over the main (high beam) filament like the X-treme Vision +130's, but if their objective performance is about the same as the 64205's I'll be satisfied.
