Hi, I was looking around for the Philips Vision Plus H7 bulb, and came across
this site. I ordered it, and the total came out to be around $45 shipped. I figured this price is somewhat cheaper than powerbulb. Hope this will help.

 

Those prices are similar to the one's at Daniel Stern Lighting. I am also upgrading my high beams today (they are sitting on the couch waiting for my wife to get back with the MINI). There is another thread on NAM which describes how to upgrade the external lighting of your MINI. Here is an exerpt about the H7 bulbs for the highbeams:

" The high beam bulbs I'm now running are made by Osram. The original bulbs are 55W H-7s. The new bulbs from Osram are essentially a H-9 glass and filament on a H-7 base. Viola, a 65W H-7 that produces 2100 lumens of light (compared to H-7 55W 1400 lumens).

The extra 10 Watts won't hurt anything - 10W is about what a turn signal bulb uses.

The H-7/H-9 hybrid bulbs produce very "even" lighting compared to the original H-7s. There are no dark or dim areas in the beam pattern. Just smooth, consistent illumination."

I think you'll be happy with the extra light at night for those back road adventures.

Goodl luck with your highbeam replacement. Anyhow, I went to Daniel Stern Lighting, didn't see anything. I guess we have to email them? In the meantime, I'll go and search for some cheap projects to do on the mini. hihi. Motor on

 

I got my philips bulbs from powerbulbs a while back, they came with free bulbs for the front turn signals and free shipping
