SeanW Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Nightbreaker ad says upto 110% extra light - £18 Phillips says upto 130% extra light - £24 You reckon the Phillips last longer? If they do, I'd rather spend the extra pennies over false economy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Stoney is correct how much do you wish to spend auto express 2014 test says Halfords extreme brilliance they dont last long neither do phillips then there's cost £25-30 or use auto express recomended autobulbs cobalt II at £10 my old man uses them the nightvision are a tad brighter last only a quarter of the time though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmole Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 The Halfords are VERY inconsistent. In the Landy which is a great test bed as it gets such rough usage they vary hugely from around 4 days to about 12 months. Agree the brightness is good and beam pattern not bad, they are just very inconsistent (But cheaper) Sylvania seem to last around a year, Osram around 10 months My experience is the Phillips are the lasters with well over a year to nearly 2 at good brightness. They were what I eventually stuck with in the landy Total brightness is not so important as they all loose that initial brightness over the first couple of months as they settle down 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanW Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Might give the Phillips a crack. Replacing bulbs every few more isn't something I want to do - no matter how cheap If you're getting twice the burn time that Osram, it's worth the extra fiver lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazsutton Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I have the phillips vision plus They are good had them over a year and you can tell a difference straight the way from the standard bulb.

SCREAMR28 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Phillips vision plus on order after much pawing through others recommendations + led's for sidelights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simcor Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Just put Bosch Gigalight bulbs in mine and very pleased with the whiter and brighter output on mine not the cheapest but really seem a lot better, will stick the old halogen bulb in one day and do some night shots of them for comparison.

Pr1vate Piles Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Think I'll give the Philips ones a go as well. Sure I saw a kit with vision plus and side lights as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcs95whufc Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 apparently these are quite orangery to look at (according to Halfords) website anyway.... can you stick a pic up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmole Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Not in my experience, not a lot of difference in the whiteness of all the good halogens. They are all definitely not as white as HIDS or LEDS. The only way to get halogens whiter is to put blue over the lens to shift the spectrum, but you are also stopping light output Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pr1vate Piles Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Picked some philips ones up today. Hard to see much improvement on the 50/50 shot. I'll go outside in a bit and see if it's better in dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Why spend the money the eBay ones are just as good xenon extreme white bulbs I've tried most of the stuff at Halfords from osram nightbreakers to Phillips to Halfords own and they're rubbish compared to what you get elsewhere and 2-3 times the price lasting half as long mine are perfect on unlit country roads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
