Thanks for the update, Martin. Personally I haven't had good luck with longevity on bulb upgrades.
Philips recently introduced their LED H4. Pucker tight before ya read the price.
I'd like to point out that the burnt bulb is the one on the right (as I mentioned) which is the side that was broken when I had a small accident in April '15, where the headlight assembly got broken on that side. I got a new assembly but the mechanic saved the two bulbs. So that might be a factor why the right one burnt first. I'm curious to know when the left one will give up.
Unbelievable, but the left bulb burnt out before I could even find any replacement for the right one, so I had to buy "normal" H4. So, the left one lasted a whooping 100 miles more than the right one.
Some say that is "good quality control" (predictable failure/duty)

IM seeing two different ones on amazon.....
these... http://www.amazon.com/Philips-X-treme-Vision-Headlight-Bulbs/dp/B00QJWUPC6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_2&smid=AF3SA2F2HOVSI

Benefits or disadvantages of one over the other?
I don't know what the differences are between these two (if any) but I bought and installed the set in the first link almost exactly a year ago (I paid $10 more then). I'm happy with them, they're VERY bright and VERY white.

One has a 100% more power, and the other 130%.
There was no blue hint, by the way. In fact, parked next to the new BMW GS with its LED headlight, it looked yellowish.
