I have been using 9012 HIR bulbs for a year and eventually took some pictures to show that they really work.
Wiki description: Halogen infrared reflective light sources A further development of the tungsten-halogen bulb has a dichroic coating that passes visible light and reflects infrared radiation. The glass in such a bulb is spherical, rather than tubular. The reflected infrared radiation strikes the filament located at the centre of the sphere, heating the filament to a degree greater than occurs by passing an electric current through the filament. The filament thus superheated emits more light, without an increase in power consumption or a decrease in lifespan. This is a picture of the bulb:  This is the bulb next to conventional Phillips bulb:  This is my car   Left (passenger) is Phillips and right is HIR, observe the color and brightness:  This is above the cutoff same setup:  This is with both HIR:  It takes some time to warm up for HIR, left one is still warming in the last picture.

Great pics.
I like the idea, however I wish that they had executed it such that it would be slightly brighter than stock, use less power and run cooler. I am always conscious of damaging headlamp reflectors with hotter-than-stock bulbs. Then again, I could be wrong about it running hot... -------------------- Mazdaworld Federation - Special OPs Unit "The silver glow of the starlight in the night sky forever beckons us to a far greater reality; it is only in death that we accept the invitation." -The Great Troutman, Nov 18, 2008 WE DEMAND THE TROUT TO RETURN AND ALL THAT DO , ADD THIS IN YOUR SIG! |

HIR's are infact excellent bulbs, they are EXTREMELY popular with the Jeep crowd where HID's do not fit the charactor, however HID's, atleast 4300k still are the better option for light output - especially in the millenia

Instead of dissipating the heat as IR, it reflects it back to the filament, the filament gets huper hot and the whole assembly gets hot.

Indeed, although I have not noticed any heat issues, your certainly better off then the idiots running 85-100w bulbs

I can get them through John Deere here, and the price is 177 NKR +taxes, equals $35 including taxes.
I will order 4 bulbs, is anyone interested? Shipment to USA is in the region of $10 (200 grammes) to $24 (1000 grammes).

How come, it is a minor plastic surgery on the socket.
I haven't ordered them yet, had other priorities. Bikeriding, and currently a business trip with my company Subaru. Which during the trip suffered two overheatings in spite of a recent thermostat replacement, a bust speedo followed by a check engine light, occasional engine stops on idle... umm, just about it part from a rear silencer needing replacement, currently delayed due to the price of $700. No kidding. I have now confirmed it needs one or two new headgaskets, which means the engine has to come out of the car. Great fun when far from home. The best part is that this early POS 2,5 Quadcam boxer has a reputation to overheat, often leading to BOTH the heads and block needing to be shaved. Problem is... the block is hardly possible to shave. I shall say this only once. Do not, ever, I repeat ever, concider buying a Subaru. They are decent as long as they run but a disaster to repair. Trust me. What is to be said about a brand charging $700 for a freaking silencer? GOD, am I glad this car is not under my wings. -------------------- The engineers hoped to modify the boot lid in order to minimize wind resistance.The easiest method involved attaching
