I have bought lights from PG performance.  Their service was pretty good,
nothing to complain about.  I bought the Philips "All Weather" bulbs.  They
are great in the snow and rain but the same as stock H4s in dry weather.
The next set I will get are the Hella "Yellow Star" bulbs they are
available from 45/50W to 110/150W for those really insane people.... like me!
