In cruizing the two sites mentioned, I don't see any high performance
replacements for H4 bulbs. I've got a set of lamps on the way from DE for my
new to me 300E 2.5L td, and want to start with fresh bulbs.

Anything out there substantially better than the $10 H4s listed? (other than
an HID upgrade)?

MAC - my '96 A6 has ecode lamps and runs H4 bulbs, so it will be a double
purchase...
