I've done some read up and comparisons of both, and people claim that the Crystal Vision is whiter than the ZXE (contrary to what BlackyRose mentioned earlier).
There have also been a few negative remarks about the longevity of the ZXE bulbs.
I need someone to make a decision for me!
Has anyone personally installed any of these bulbs on their GT86? I'm worried about incompatibility.
Also, since I know jackshit about cars, are these bulbs for low beam and/or high beam too?
This is such a silly question, but are high beams the lights that you turn on when you're driving at night? Those are the lights that i want to be white (just like all the Mercs around)

My Toyota 86 (GT/Base model in Australia) requires the following halogen bulb types:
Low beam: H11
High beam: 9005/HB3
In terms of bulb selection, if you want the white look, I would select Philips Diamond Vision over the ZXE's. Here's a photo of my 86 with the Diamond Vision globes installed:
Any 'white' halogen bulb will be tinted which decreases visibility. Whilst I was able to use these for some time, if you drive along dark country roads, I would look at other options. I personally have installed a set of Philips X-treme Vision which are fantastic.
