Philips X-treme Vision +100% headlight globes ; how good are they?

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.

Hi Poitr,

I have them in my Patrol and I'm very happy with them over the standard items and have to date had no issues with them. A couple of other mates have them too and also have no complaints.

Cheers,
Darren

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 ?

Poitr, I just replaced my low beam globes with the Repco "ice blue" I think they were called. They do not look blue at all just a brilliant white. They are a big

improvement over the standard factory globes.

Cheers

Not sure about these ,but in general DO NOT buy any globes that have an obvious coat of paint on them. These globes are designed for pimply teenagers in old Commodores..

Any surface coating will cause light to be scattered and this not only cuts down on correct lighting for you, but is distressing to oncoming traffic

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?!?

Had the H4 +50% in my suby for some years and they were an improvement. Would try the +100 for around $50 a pair. (Powerbulbs)

According to their website phillips are available through autobarn - don't know the price. Try here

Hope that link works out ok.

Cheers
