Headlights

[MountaineerTom]

I was looking around at Advance Auto Parts and found some Sylvania 9006 low beam bulbs.  They had the regular 9006 replacements that were 55 watts and some 9006XV (XV=Xtra Vision) that also said 55 watts, but had a little thing on the package that said "up to 20% brighter".  I didn't see anything on the package about how many lumens each one had though.  Has anyone tried these?  I think I might try them since my wife works there and she gets a 15% discount.  I don't know if they will be any brighter but I need to replace the ones in her Beretta anyway, so I have to buy some headlights anyway.  I'll put the ones that are in my truck now in her car.  he he.

Thanks for any info.

I replaced the lowbeams in my truck with GE 9006 high output blue tinted bulbs.  They aren't the super blue ones like the PIAA bulbs.  Just the glass on the bulb has a light blue tint.  They are 60 watts and 1000 lumens.  I got them at Walmart for ? on sale.  I believe they were worth the price because the very light blue tint actually brightens things that are light in color (like lines on the road).  They really make a difference on a snow covered raod.
