ST circuitry is quite sensitive and doesn't like cheap or too high power bulbs. Phillips above are fine, I have them lights and fogs.

My drivers side went this morning and I had to go to Halfords to get the bulb as no where else was open due to work and I dont want to drive around a couple of days with 1 light out. Looks stupid and bugs me otherwise. Probably order some decent ones for spares.

blue visions are just brighter than standard, the sides look blueish but give a nice sharp light again better than standard. I have Phillips Nightbreakers in my fogs which again are better than standard. I found that all the standard bulbs just did not light the road up, all my replaced ones actually do. Personally I would like some even brighter, not sure if there is anything better on the market now, I'm not interested in HIDS and there issues or anything that is blue, I just want brightness for the road.
