I was all set on trying the Philips Xtreme, as a friend highly recommended them to me. However, his older brother has just bought the new Ring XenonUltima's. He reckons there is not much in it but the Rings have the edge.

Both brothers previously had night breakers and both say the newer bulbs are far superior. :confused:

I think for the price I'll try the Ring XenonUltima's. :happy2:
