Just wondering if any anyone has fitted the Philips X-treme Vision +100% globes in their headlights and if so, how effective they are? Also whether there have been any issues with them? I'd also appreciate any comments or recommendations on any other replacement non-HID headlight globes.
Thanks

Poitr I have fitted them to both a Prado and old Triton and they certainly made a difference in both low and high beam. Nowhere near enough to throw away the
driving lights but for a legal globe that doesn't consume more power than normal, it's hard to knock.
I'm getting sick and tired of HID globes in 4wd headlights blinding me and I don't want to do the same to others. I know some do the right thing and aim them low but many don't bother.
Mark.

Before I run HID systems, I only ever run Phillips gpobes.
55/60's in the mains (polycarbonate lenses)
I tried to get 100 Watt H1 but were nort available at the time.
I run Blue Vision H4's in the mains, and Blue Vision H1's in the Spots.
Never a drama.
Extreme Vision costs a bit, so why not HID's ?
Cheers

Thanks everyone for your advice. I think I will give them a go.
Bucky, the HID are good but a fair bit more costly and more of a hassle to fit for an old bloke like me.
GT Campers, Unfortunately the days of me being a pimply teenager with a Commodore are
well and truly gone and I'm now just a
grey wrinkled old fart. Gut I'll take your advice anyway.
Cheers

Anyone know who stocks these? Tried Repco, Autopro and Supercheap this morning without luck (Narva rules the world)
Autopro had the +80's but didn't even seem to know the +100's existed.
Lot of people seem to buy from powerbulbs, but really, the uk?!?
