Philips X-tremeVision Pro150 H7 car headlight bulb +150%, set of 2

Product Information

Philips AirFlux and AirCool technologies are smart cooling systems that divert heat away from the light's critical components. Philips have also designed their X-tremeVision Pro150 headlight bulbs range to scrupulous production standards in compliance with ECE homologation regulations – meaning they are completely road legal for public usage. Using these headlight bulbs at night, I found they offered quality visibility over a remarkable distance. It simply makes more sense to change headlamp bulbs in pairs, rather than only replacing the failed one.

After contacting support and a few checks a new set of bulbs were sent (this time tracked), all at no additional expense to me.If you decide to upgrade your headlight bulbs to Philips X-treme Vision +130 you will also benefit from a longer light beam. Light is a fundamental part of the driving experience and light is the first and only part of the safety circle that actually helps prevent accidents. But our samples didn’t start well, because the ballast lacked the required sticker providing its specification, warnings and crucial E-mark.

Because it can throw light up to 70 metres farther(2) ahead on the road, Philips X-tremeVision Pro150 increases your ability to react to potential hazards. They outshine most other car lights with up to 130% more brightness, superior beam length and 10G vibration resistance. I’ve snapped a picture of the Xtreme Vision to give you an idea of its size and how effortlessly it should fit in your car. It finished last in all our tests and delivered just 16 per cent of the area above 30 lux compared with our winner – easily visible to the naked eye. While 800 hours is relatively standard for headlight bulbs these days, there are alternatives offering better value for money.

Osram's Night Breaker family has - Night Breaker Unlimited, Night Braker Laser and Xenarc Night Breaker Unlimited. Philips quartz-glass lamps (filament 2 650°C and glass 800°C) are able to withstand severe thermal shock. Modern bulbs provide increased light output and superior performance, offering a safer driving experience. It’s a missed opportunity because the good bulb was on for a podium finish, topping 200 metres in the distance test and scoring close to its winning stablemate for maximum brightness. Where the X-tremeVision offered improved light output up to 130% brighter than a standard halogen, the X-tremeVision Pro150 ups the ante, offering a remarkable extra 20% increase.

great bulbs popped them in and the first sight of the night drawing in I just had to see if they were what they say they are, and wow yeah they are fantastic. Philips promotes active safety protection to prevent accidents by increasing overall visibility and road illumination.Its compact size and clear instructions make for easy fitment in any car, and I doubt anyone would encounter issues during installation. Our figure of merit (FOM) was also calculated using levels at 50 metres in front of the car on the kerb and in the centre of the road, plus twice the hard-to-reach 75-metre roadside mark. And as you don't have to strain to see the terrain ahead, brighter lights make for a more comfortable and exciting night-time drive. As is evident from the picture, on a dark night, the Extreme Vision sufficiently illuminates the road ahead.

Again these are from what I read on the forum and beyond, no experience though and it might not be accurate.

The increased colour temperature in Philips X-tremeVision headlights (available in H1, H4 and H7) allows your eyes to focus better and perceive contrasts in the far distance.
