Thread: philips philips vision plus or philips blue vision - help needed.

I use cheap n cheerful bulbs meself so can't offer any advice - other than remember your 15% Freedom discount if you buy from Powerbulbs.com Discount code: >> here <<

Thanks, but even with the discount there is still quite a difference for the same product. Worthwhile checking ALL the sites though.

Have a look at lidl as they have 50% bulbs for £4. IMHO the 80/90% bulbs don't last long at all and they do all warn this. I would suggest: - Osram silverstar (+50%) - Phillips GT150 (Also called night vision, these have a blue cap, but no coating on the glass) (+50%) - Philips vision plus. (+50%) - Osram all weather plus (+30% and yellowed coating for good vision in heavy rain ...

Fitted the previously recommended Phillips upgrades to my car. Disappointed that there is not a noticeable improvement in intensity.Racing beams indeed.

If you really really don't want Phillips Vision Plus, Osram Silverstars. Gregoir, you are aware that a "+N%" rating is a measure of the increase in light returned from a specified reference object at a fixed position from a specified reference light shell, not an increase in range?

I did not mention range, only intensity.Honestly. But as the whole beam should get brighter , the bits round the edge which also get brighter might effectively extend the useful range. Like the Osram +50% did on my old Passat. But not for my FL Octavia

Which ones and who said anything about racing beams?

ive used the lidl bulbs and they are very good, if you can get them that is they only come out now and again. definitely worth a go £4 wont break the bank.

Sorry, Im only interested in these two variations of bulb. Osram Silverstar have got a beam rating of 98 and therefore are non starters! The other ones mentioned I've never even heard of or have any tested results on so they are a no go too. If anyone has any experience of either Vision Plus or Blue Vision it would be great to hear. The reason i am going for one of these two is that they have ...

Blue vision are IMHO poor, because they have a blue coating and so you have less usable light. Sure they might be the best of the blue bulbs, but the blues are all poor. I've run the Vision plus (in H4 format) and honestly didn't rate them particularly highly also found they didn't last that long, although still over a year. I have now gone back to osram silverstars and think these are ...
