Made by Sylvania and purchased at Canadian Tire. BUT, yesterday I switched them out for some Hella 100/85W ones. Cost was $50 for the pair. There're supposedly the new Xeon type. They do not seem to be as white as other Xeon bulbs I have seen. They certainly are brighter but as David Marshall pointed out to me before installing them the light pattern is still crappy. Not much can be done about that unless you want to spend the big bucks for a set of Euro lites.
