TOP lamps 1

The fact is that Philips just too much "promises". But it is also true that one can not expect of 20 halogen lamps Xenon lights.

The lights are much brighter than standard bulbs with a slight blue tinge. Clear seeing whiter / blue cooler out but then you can admire the view absolutely forgotten when it rains. Who does not believe, should increase the Mtec Superwhite or even the Cosmos Blue to time. These are much closer to the turn of the xenon light color but at night you can see practically nothing more .... in the rain no time.

The Philips are thus already the most of optics and illumination. It is also clear that the Philips Xtreme or whatever they're called to do more light ... these are but then really yellowish ... the blue glass absorbs nunmal a lot of luminosity.

Therefore, one should be aware of before buying what you want.

Maximum luminosity = Philips Xtreme
Maximum xenon effect = Mtec Superwhite or illegal Cosmos Blue
Best compromise on both = Philips Blue Vision Ultra

I would like to again mention as well that in this set apart from the H7 bulbs also 2 W5W BlueVision Standlichtlampen lie. I find Top.

Supplement: Have now installed exactly 1 year the lamps. Car is moved daily. The light controls the light sensor from the car .... So do not drive continuously with light. In turn, the lamps are turned off during the day in tunnels always and again, which is not exactly the life. So I am very happy with the life ... We'll see how long it will keep. However, the service life also depends greatly on the car .... some direct more power to reach the lamps than others.

In short: At 1 year still top everything.

Supplement 2: Even though this is now probably as a fake look, I myself would otherwise not believe it but after now more than 2 years to keep the bulbs. Only one parking light bulb has failed yesterday. So I have to say, Philips has here really a top product built.

Supplement 3: Now it's finally happened, after about 27 months the first blown. About two weeks earlier, a parking light bulb had left the service.
An overall very impressive result. Since I have got used to replace the lamps in pairs, since the second is usually relatively quickly goes kaput I stood in front of the question, which I now repeat.
Since now the cold season begins and yellowish light is better here, it was the ideal opportunity to test the new Osram Night Breaker Unlimited. This should be according to the manufacturer 110% brighter than conventional.
Accordingly, I would have theoretically notice to Philips Bluevision a huge difference.

The first night ride and the disillusionment .... "Is that all?" I thought so. So the bulbs are 20 percent brighter vll ..... you can see a difference, but really minimal. Many reviews of because "I do not need more high beam, it lights much further (which is not at all possible as the headlight setting the headlight range pretending difference like night and day," I think all of very exaggerated.
Incidentally, I found the ride to Blue Vision because of the color of light and pleasant ..... but now comes the crucial point .... on a dry road.

Because on wet road, the difference is already significantly larger, here I'd appreciate already 50% more light on the road. The light color in the spotlight and on the street is in contrast to the Blue Vision course correct yellow .... Standart halt .... But precisely because in conjunction with the higher luminosity has this difference on wet roads.

So what is my conclusion .... I am with the Blue Vision continues to be very satisfied and would recommend to anyone. In any case, you are Price / Performance-wise unbeatable. The new Night Breaker are for the winter with wet roads, but felt better, even if the gain in luminosity is far from being as big as the manufacturer promises.
Do not be blinded, the 110% are utopian, even my estimated 50% first after much sound you. But this 50 per cent fall in the wet on only in direct comparison. I feel the Night breakers now not safe or something. They are better, but not so that you would have to convert it right now.
Optimal would be the Night Breaker for the winter and the Blue Vision as the best possible compromise on brightness and optics in the summer. According to various experiences the Night Breaker will also only survive the winter time, after 3-5 months they shall be broken as a rule. I think after that I will again change to the Blue Vision and then in 2 years if it should break down for winter again, grab again to the Night breakers.

I hope I could help some.
