Philips X-tremeVision Pro150 HB4 car headlight bulb +150%, single blister

The ideal colour temperature for a car headlight, imo. These come in around 3000-3500k. Pleasant, warm light. Not retina-searing 6500k like most headlights nowadays. Warmer temps cut through fog and dust better, so they're genuinely better for visibility in harsher conditions. Temp aside, these headlights are bright and well-focussed. I've used cheaper ones before which don't aim well in my car's headlight housing. These are great, though. Not as bright as the crazy stuff you see on a lot of cars nowadays (which are imo far, far too bright), but comfortably enough that I'm never worried about not having enough light. They're about as bright as the Toyota OEM bulbs they replaced, which were already bright enough. I'm happy with these bulbs. I bought two and switched both out (I recommend you do the same, so both sides matched and the beams blend into each other). I'll see how long they last. As long as they don't burn out too quickly, I'll keep this review as a 5*. I'm happy with my purchase.

Bright H.light bulbs

I’ve used Philips bulbs for years, had them in all my cars as they are a lot better than the factory bulbs that you get with the far however I have never had one that’s lasted under 2 months, I purchased these on November 5 2024, so if you include delivery times 7 November till last week and one bulb has already burnt out.

I bought these bulbs as an upgrade to the standard factory bulbs that were in our Toyota Aygo. Happy to say, this has been a worthwhile upgrade. There has been a definite improvement in the brightness. Not quite the difference I was expecting, but will definitely give me more confidence on the road at night. They’re whiter than the originals, and installing was super easy (we have a 2015 Aygo). Good quality and functional, I hope they also last a while!

Nice but slightly bigger than H8 I pushed it harder and it’s tight done. I’m happy

Great bulb to increase vision

I have tried all types of halogen lamps in different cars as owned over the years. These particular phillips lamps are in HB3 (9005) mount in a projector lens. The oem lamps they replace are 3 years old and also phillips. I changed one lamp and drove at night for a direct comparison. They are slightly whiter “and I do mean slightly” compared to stock. Also a little brighter but again not much and remember the original is 3 years old. So in concluding. I think all this advertised hype about 150% and 200% brighter and further reach of 50 plus metres is just that !! Sales BS. They work yes. They are a slight improvement over oem yes. But expect no more than that. And that goes for Osram,GE, Bosch ect. OEM led headlights are far superior in my experience and of course being oem are road and mot legal. Not to be confused with aftermarket leds which unlike oem are brighter to look at and whiter than halogen but !! Can have beam pattern issues along with light reach, or throw not being as good. Also not legal. Sorry for the long post but I want to be honest and helpful to others. Im not a wishful thinker and wont try to kid myself or you. The super duper halogens out there are ok !! Thats it. An update on the above review. I have now completed a lux meter test on these lamps and wanted to share an interesting finding. Testing from 1 metre from the headlights I found these halogens provide a considerably higher lux level when compared to high end aftermarket leds that I have. The leds wont be used on public roads due to legality issues however for those who are tempted by retro fit leds please be aware !! The higher colour temp ie 6500k can give an artificial brighter look than halogen which look more yellow than white. But this is just the way our eyes perceive a whiter look ie whiter looks brighter. In fact the leds reflect off the road and there throw or range down that road is actually less than the halogens. So you dont see as much of the road with led but what you do see gives the appearance of brightness but with less road coverage. Hope that makes sense. Also led is far more reflective and tends to bounce back at you especially if its raining. Halogen tends to be absorbed and therefore less likely to dazzle you. I guess Ive been a bit ocd with getting behind the science of one vs the other but I think its safe to say halogens in headlights designed for halogen give better road coverage that the so called whiter than white leds. Which give less coverage but with an almost blinding whiteness. Hope this info is useful 👍

easy to fit ty

Super bright and compatible with the stock reflector on my 2009 Harley Sportster. I wanted a bulb that was compatible with the halogen reflector on my bike and preserved the warm, yellow light on older machines. This one fit the bill and I can see clearly at night. The light is a warmer yellow that isn’t crazy bright but works well enough for me.

Realmente ilumina um pouco mais, vale a pena. Não chega a ser uma luz branca, mas é menos amarelada que a comum. Recomendo.

Fits perfectly and works great!

Superb alternate incandescent headlamps that were easily fitted to my vehicle. Much brighter than the original headlamps and a color temperature that was much easier on the driver's vision. Thoroughly recommended and at a great Amazon price.
