FWIW, I used the vision plus's in one of my cages only once. They did 
not seem a whole lot brighter to me than the stock bulbs did. Now let 
me stop for a second and point out that I have a quad relay setup on 
this car so each of the elements of each headlight bulb is on a 
single relay and can draw full voltage directly from the battery.
The Vision Plus's also only lasted about two months and both low 
beams popped within hours of each other.
I replaced them with Silver Stars and the whiter light certainly 
seemed brighter to my eyes. I had them for about two years in the car 
before one of them blew out.
By that time I had discovered the Hoen Bulbs and ordered a set for 
the car. That was four and a half years ago and I still say that they 
are the brightest near white lights I have ever used (only true HID 
in a rental car ever seemed brighter).
