I've had these in my '87 Westy for some time. Made by Sylvania and
purchased at Canadian Tire. BUT, yesterday I switched them out for some
Hella 100/85W ones. Cost was $50 for the pair. There're supposedly the new
Xeon type. They do not seem to be as white as other Xeon bulbs I have seen.
They certainly are brighter but as David Marshall pointed out to me before
installing them the light pattern is still crappy. Not much can be done
about that unless you want to spend the big bucks for a set of Euro lites.
