Phillips Diamond Vision

[JamJay]

Hi All. My bulb blew, again! So I am after some good replacements.

I know that this subject has been covered before but not for these bulbs, Phillips Vision. SEARCH brings up 2 threads, neith of which answer my Q.

Does anyone have any opinions? I am not after HIDs but these bulbs claim to be 5000k, very good I thought. How would these compare to the Blue Vision series? I am hesitant about the Blue Vision as they might look a bit chav and too blue?

Quite expensive though, a fraction cheaper than the PIAA Xtreme ones which are 4500k.

Basically, I hate yellow light, so just want a bulb that will erradicate most of it, give a clean white light with maybe a hint of blue.

it looks nice but if you change the main lighting do u also change the smaller bulbs ? and what kinda bulbs go in the lower ones (dont know how to call them sorry)

You mean sidelights, the 501's? I was thinking of replacing those with some LED ones.

I have heard though, that these "HID Look" bulbs aren't very good in the rain and also do not shine very far.

Hmmm, maybe worth saving another month and and getting some plug and play HIDs from HIDS4U, even though i'm not confident about playing with wiring.

I think he means dipped headlight bulbs H7's (as per his link) ?

If so I've heard good things about the OSRAM NightBreakers and you get free 501 white sidelights too.

I'm gonna get some of them soon

I've recently changed back from 6000k HIDs to Osram Nightbreakers and ok they don't look quite as good but imo they light up the road much better especially in poor conditions.

there is a good thread on the Mk2 forum about bulbs and HID's
Osrams are the business but it can be a pain getting a set of bulbs which all look matched
I took out my Osrams and fitted the HIDs4U kit and spent a fortune finding sidelamp bulbs which looked right

I was looking at the same bulbs as you, if you do fit then please let me know what you think as i'm still undecided on which bulbs to buy.

Yeah sorry, I did mean dipped. I have sourced some pictures, quite blue IMO although could look good in a projector lens. Look quite nice as the 'fog' bulb on the 1P Leon.

Opinions?
