Subjectively I found the Philips quite bright but short life brought me back again and again to the original lamps that keep much longer. The lamps are with me but also exposed to a high load, because I have set in the Vehicle settings is such that the low beams always with regards the starting process - also during daytime driving.
After it but also really hard time to assess objectively the change in this souped lamps brightness me, this time I have taken the trouble and made comparison shots for you. That's what I therefore made because repeatedly circulated photos that are extremely unprofessional, because only the automatic function was used and therefore the results are not meaningful.
Respect. the original lamps should be noted that these have been already many hours behind and lose mE also luminosity.
News Summary: On the comparison of image is in any case can be clearly seen that the Philips lamps cause a visible increase of brightness. I had the feeling to have that actually perceived as the eye.
What is to come:
I have used the planned change to consciously perceive the past few days in different places my impression of brightness. So I will soon tell whether I can perceive in the street in the parking garage and wet roads clear differences.
Current Rating: 4 Stars
Up to this point there is of me 4 stars. One star deduction there, ...
1. ... because the brightness difference is indeed quite visible but not terribly large in the photos
2. ... because I have fear unfortunately now that the durability at the level of + 100%, and thus partially by holding less than six months, and finally
3. ... because the price of the set of 2 but significantly higher than the original lamps (16 euros Original the Mercedes-Benz dealer vs. almost 30 euros for Philips (at least here at Amazon, at ATU and Conrad as much as the 44 Euro))
Should I be wrong with my impressions, then I correct like my rating at a later date.
