Haven't tried the nighthawks...I so far have used in the past the sylvania "20% brighter" bulbs, sylvania silverstar bulbs, sylvania cool blue bulbs...none of which were as good as these phillips bulbs.

I got them from http://www.autolamps-online.co...e.htm

I adjusted my lights to point up a little so they can shine farther. What kind of headlights do you have? Are they oem?...

The fact that they're DOT and from eBay are two strikes against them, and is most likely why the output is not up to par with Si_chRis' lights.

Yeah...if your headlights are from ebay, they mostly have different reflector housings than oem and the beam won't be spread out like how mine is. So if you have your stock headlights, switch em back on your car and your light output should be similar to what I have.

Don't get those. Since JDM Integra headlights also take 9006 just like USDM Integras, you should get HIR 9012 bulbs, which put out even more light than the Philips Xtreme bulbs.

The light output is awsome. Very similar to 4300k. But how many watts is it using?

What car do you have that uses H1 bulbs? I don't think they make the Xtreme Power in that size.

I'm pretty sure they still draw the standard 55 watts.

To my knowledge, they do not, but the Osram NightBreaker is available in H1.

The wattage varies depending upon the bulb, but yes the H4 uses the standard 55 watt low beam and 60 watt high beam.
