Greetings from Oregon, where we kiss where the sun don't shine :-X04
In addition to "Black Betty' my '78 CJ 5 I've got a '78 E150 black Panel van, named "the Oven"
Several years ago I addressed the whimpy headlight wiring, upgrading to 12ga. wire, relays for each side, and Hella Vison Plus fluted lens shells.
Once I moved to this consumer desert I now live in, the only available 130/100 H4's are made by Wagner. A good product but their service life is only 18-30 months before an element burns out. Prior to this I lived in an ever more rural area but whatever maker of the H4's I didn't have this issue. I'm considering using Hella branded H4's or PIAA.

Does anyone know if these guys are longer lasting?

Thanks and a lift of the lynch lid for your opinions.

Gus and "the Oven"
 

I always liked IPF lighting. Never had any problems with them.
 
NAPA Corvallis is geeting these Vision X 100/90 for me to try. I've never heard of them though

I started out with Hella H4 brand, then GE nighthawk platinums, and finally ended up spending $120 on Piaa extreme whites, and so far no problems with the Piaa, already have outlasted the other brands by a long shot
 

Good to know, I know we pay the price for PIAA but good things cost money
