Angel Eye Question

I have the Ultra White Weislight LED H8's at present and wanted to know if the following would be better than these:-

MTEC H8 35w Super White HID class xenon gas bulbs

or these:-
PIAA H-457 XTREME WHITE H8 708 12v 35W = 70W LIGHT! H8

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PIAA-H-457-XTREME-WHITE-H8-708-12v-35W-70W-LIGHT-H8-/170579960183?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM& hash=item27b75ba177

or these:-
PIAA Tera LED H8

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PIAA-H-439-TER...item483e24e7a3

Has anyone had experience of trying or seeing them both ?

Hrmm HID Xenon Gas Bulbs? Sounds like that Ebayer is confused...those are standard hyperwhite bulbs, they are not xenon bulbs. Xenon bulbs are xenon gas filled bulbs that use an electrical arc to produce light output. Hyperwhites are a standard halogen bulb that uses a filament to produce light output and has a blue coating to emit a xenon white color.

The hyperwhite bulbs will be brighter but not as white as the WeissLicht LEDs. It really comes down to whether you want brightness (hyperwhite) or color (WeissLicht LEDs).
