Xenon Lights

Featured Replies

Decided to invest in some Philips X-Treme Power bulbs, which size bulbs should I get for dipped headlights.

new bulbs doesnt make you have xenons lights you can get bulbs with a tinge of colour in but they are no match for actual xenons

This is true, but to retrofit xenons legally would be a great deal of hassle. Some take a chance on cheapie aftermarket kits. IMO you can't do worse than buying some half-decent legal standard bulbs, the difference is noticeable - but like you say nothing like xenons.

I believe the dipped is H7 and full beam H3. Please double check this first though before ordering.

Just looking to swap the ordinary bulbs for Xenons, are these any good or just wasting my money.

Yes they're worth it compared with standard bulbs. Would suggest checking ebay and using the sort by price + p&p lowest first option.

Can anyone recommend the Philips X-Treme bulbs?.

If you do a search on here, then you will find, Yes they are reconmended. :thumbup: They seem last longer than Osram NightBreakers (some fail of them fail within 3 months!). X-tremes last for more than a year.

I can also recommend Powerbilbs. I ordered before 1pm and were delivered the next day with the normal post. :thumbup: If you also do a search you will find the discount code to gain 10% off.

If you want the Xenon look, then buy blue coloured bulbs (Blue Vision etc). However they will not give as much light as the X-Tremes.

They are not xenons, just uprated. They are better than what you have. How much better only you can decide.
