headlights - no new catz in 9004?

catz has a headlight bulb line called 'galaxy white' that a local speed shop started carrying. the lights are listed at 65/45, the same wattage as stock lights, but are rated as having a light output equivalent to 130 watts. the guy at the store has them in his car, and he showed them to me and they look by far the closest to HID w/out getting an actual HID kit--all at stock wattage. the problem is, they don't make them in 9004, which i found pretty surprising since 9004 is a fairly common bulb size. my question is...does anyone know of any other comparably bright lights that are still at a stock wattage? the guy at the store called catz and they told him that, since the company is based out of japan, these catz bulbs won't be available in the US in 9004 for approx. 6-8 wks, and i would rather not wait if anyone else knows another good hid-look-alike w/ stock wattage. i understand that no regular bulb will truly give HID-like output, but you know what i mean; whats the bluest/whitest/brightest stock bulb around? thanks

good try dude, but they don't make razos in 9004s either...do you have any idea how the eurolite super plasmas (65/55), the APC icy hot blues or APC ultra whites are, in terms of blue-ness to the light

yeah, the only problem with them is that they're all 100/80w, all of which will burn out my wiring harnesses over time. actually, i think i have some sort of electrical problem w/ my driver side harness, b/c i've burned it out a handful of times w/ various aftermarket bulbs (all of which at least 100/80) and i even went so far as to get an upgraded wiring harness, and i burned that out too. so i want to keep the STOCK WATTAGE, but have some blueish/whitish tint to the light output...

APC quality sucks pretty much. They don't make Razo in 9004 at all or just at the place I suggested? You can try www.optauto.com. Or you can go to www.SUVlights.com or www.eurolights.com
