Most people that I know that use Cibie's are the sports car crowd. A few Arizona Jeepers have done the Cibie's, but the glass cracked on them while wheeling.

IPF's and Hella H4's have thicker glass lenses, making them a bit more resistant to rocks and other stuff, like playing submarine commander. Despite the fact that the Hella's have thicker glass, I've still cracked mine multiple times, mainly from splashing in the water.

The con is that the Cibie's produce a slightly better pattern than the Hellas and IPF's. The center part of the pattern is brighter and has better light distribution than the IPF's and Hella's.

One thing - you can snag the IPF's and Hellas for a bit cheaper than the Cibie's. Hella's tend to be about 40 bucks each (max) vs. 58 for the Cibie's.

If you want to spring for the Cibie's, don't get the version with the city light (parking marker light built into the headlamp). Get the one that only does H4 bulbs and that's it.

Hope this helps!
Steve
