{"product_id":"hella-optilux-9006-hb4-extreme-white-xb-bulb-80w-pair","title":"Hella Optilux 9006\/HB4 Extreme White XB Bulb, 80W Pair","description":"\u003cp class=\"nvn-hero\"\u003eThe Hella Optilux Extreme White XB is a 9006\/HB4 halogen bulb built to throw a whiter, brighter beam than a standard bulb. It runs xenon gas inside the halogen capsule with a blue coating on the glass, so you get that clean 4200K white, xenon-style look without swapping to an HID kit. Rated 80 watts at 12 volts. Sold as a matched set of two, off-road use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want your headlights or fog lights to throw a crisp, white beam instead of that yellowy stock glow, the Hella Optilux Extreme White XB is a straightforward way to get there. It's a 9006\/HB4 halogen bulb, so it drops into any fixture built for that base. What makes it different from a plain 9006 is what's going on inside and outside the glass. Hella fills the capsule with xenon gas and adds a blue coating to the outside of the bulb. Together those two things push the beam toward a whiter, cooler light that reads around 4200K on the color scale. You get the high-end xenon look without tearing into your wiring for a full HID conversion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat 4200K number matters more than it sounds. Stock halogen bulbs usually sit down around 3000K to 3200K, which is why they look warm and a little yellow. Bumping up to 4200K gives you a cleaner white that a lot of drivers find easier on the eyes at night, and it makes road signs and lane markings pop. It's still a warm-enough white that it cuts through rain and light fog better than the really blue, super-high-Kelvin bulbs. And because these are true halogen bulbs, they light instantly. No warm-up delay like you'd get waiting on an HID system to come up to full brightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese run 80 watts at 12 volts, which is a step up from the roughly 51 watts a standard 9006 pulls. More wattage means more light out front, but it also means a little more current through the circuit, so it's worth a quick look at your harness and connectors before you run them hard. If your wiring is old, brittle, or already warm to the touch, sort that out first. Clean grounds and healthy connectors are what let a higher-wattage bulb actually do its job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing we won't gloss over. Hella lists the Extreme White XB line as intended for off-road use only. The whiter beam and higher wattage put these outside the range that's street legal for headlight use in a lot of places, so they're aimed at trucks, off-road rigs, work lights, and show builds rather than a daily commuter that has to pass inspection. Check your local rules before you run them on the road. We'd rather tell you that up front than have you find out at the inspection station.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou get two bulbs in the box, and that's the right way to buy them. Headlight bulbs age together, so when one starts to dim or burns out, the other one usually isn't far behind. Replacing them as a matched pair keeps both sides the same brightness and the same color, which is what you want. Mismatched bulbs, one warm and one white, look off and can throw your beam balance out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall is the same as any 9006 swap, with one habit worth keeping. Don't touch the glass with your bare fingers. The oil from your skin creates a hot spot on the surface once the bulb heats up, and that shortens its life. Handle it by the base, or use a clean cloth or glove. If you do brush the glass, wipe it down with a little rubbing alcohol before you power it up. Line up the tabs on the base, seat it, click the connector back on, and you're set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo who's this for? Anybody running 9006\/HB4 fixtures who wants a whiter, brighter beam and a xenon look without the cost and complication of an HID kit. Off-road drivers, truck owners, and folks building lights for the trail or the yard get the most out of them. If you need a strictly street-legal, DOT-stamped replacement, this isn't that bulb, and we'll point you to one elsewhere in the catalog. But for a whiter beam where off-road use is fair game, the Extreme White XB is an easy, affordable upgrade from Hella.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e9006\/HB4 base drops straight into any fixture built for that bulb size\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eXenon gas inside the halogen capsule for brighter, whiter forward light\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlue glass coating delivers a 4200K white beam and a xenon-style look\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e80-watt output at 12 volts throws more light than a standard 51-watt 9006\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstant-on halogen light with no warm-up delay of an HID system\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4200K color temperature for a clean white that's easy on the eyes at night\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMatched set of two keeps both headlights the same brightness and color\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-road use only, aimed at trucks, off-road rigs, and work lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Hella Marine reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eAre these Optilux Extreme White XB bulbs street legal?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eNo. Hella lists the Extreme White XB line as intended for off-road use only.
