I'm not familiar with the xtravision, but it HAS to be better than that sylvania crap. I had a set of those about 3 years ago, and HATED them. I've since dropped in a set of Naxos bulbs, and they've been going for 2 and a half years STRONG.

My advice to you, is to spend a little bit more on a quality bulb, and it will pay itself off by lasting you several years. Don't rush into mods if you don't have the $$$. Believe me, buy quality!

I just did this exact comparison this past weekend. I baught the Blue Visions by Philips, Cool Blues, and Extravisions by sylvania. The Blue Visions I didn't like at all. Cool blues were about the same.

The Extravisions made a noticibly brighter and wider beam.
I returned the others and kept the Extravisions.

Keep in mind I'm coming from an HID system so I'm dealing with a big time down grade from light.

Two times unusual. 1st, you downgrade from HIDs, and 2nd you didn't like the Philips BlueVisions. How come?

I have the Extravision as well and the amount of light that they put on the road is amazing.

1) The down grade from HID's. Have you ever been in a car on the other side of a dark road and driven twards your OWN car with an HID retro kit on it? I had the opportunity to do so and that quickly made me change my mine. Although I wasn't getting high beamed to much, I realized how extreamly annoying my car looked to oncomming traffic. I have the Crystal White HID's and they are MAD bright. They throw amazing light on the road, but as you know with 9004 housings they also throw to much light upwards too. I don't want to be an annoyance on the road, I want to be respected on the road.

2) Blue visions -vs- Extravisions. Do the compare yourself. Put a Blue Vision in one side and an Extravision in the other. Look closely at the beam pattern. The Extravision blows the Blue Vision away! Much wider beam of light on the road, same brightness but a larger, wider area is now lit up.
