I put to my reflectors headlights h7 osram nightbraker to the low beam & in high beam the philips racing vision h7 and the results is very good. double light in the road.

hmm You used h7 bulbs on the high? I thought you need h15.. perhaps is a country thing :) (I live in Poland)

Mine is H7 and H15. UK. 

Pre facelift is H7 & H15. Post facelift are twin H7.

Is there anyone to try a Philipis extreme ultinon H7 LED or GTR ULTRA 2 H7 in reflector headlights ?

yes me.. Philips gen 2 . better of course, very good beam but you will need the appropriate canbus adapters.

Philips send them in one day for free. just need an email to them

 

Philips canbus  adapters like these don't work correct

Χρόνια πολλά και καλή χρονιά . Αξίζει το 200άρι δηλαδή ? ή είναι μικρή η διαφορά φωτός ? Έχεις δοκιμασμένη την philips racing vision ?

The vast majority of us don't speak/understand Greek, please post only in English.

Leds are stronger ofcourse compared to halogen...

 

They cost 140 euros

 

Another choice , with less money, us the brand f2 from aliexpress.about 35 euros. They work without errors and they say with good beam and very good light power. Maybe more than philips.

 

Also ( but i dont know which model-watt etc and if they work without errors ) is the brand novsight where everyone says good words

Nope, it's designed for a dual filament H15 and nothing else.

 

I've no idea of what shops are in India so if you can't find one in a normal garage or shop, as a last resort, I'd suggest going to a Skoda or VW dealer to order the bulb.

Previously I’ve used Nightbreakers & never had an issue with longevity. Generally have lasted at least 2 years and 30k miles which I’m happy with. 
This time for a change I’ve gone for Philips Racing Vision H7 bulbs. Only changed the low beam so far.

Hi! I wonder how things were/are with the Philips set. Better than the Nightbreakers? I have the stock bulbs and I don't want to get into the whole xenon-led trouble because my budget is very low. So, I 've got to go with the halogens (mine H7 and H15).

Is there any light upgrade available for the Bi-Xenon unit?

My twin set of Philips H7 bulbs (facelift car) are still going strong after close on 20 months and 18000 miles. Personally I think they are better than Nightbreakers. Not sure who do upgrade H15 bulbs, I had a real issue with a Kuga 5 years ago.

Pretty good performance! Thanks for yr time to reply mate!

When I say twin set, the facelift car has H7 main beam too so I now have all bulbs as the Philips ones.

Yeah, I got it. It's good they did that because it's important to have a wide range and availability of a product. I find many H7 but only a few H15. In any case, the leds are the future but for a car with reflector headlights seems pretty challenging to do it properly without causing problems to other cars. I don't want to carry the burden of a possible accident and it's still illegal to EU (I think Osram got a new so called legal bulb but it's very expensive).
 

From memory in the Kuga I fitted an Osram EU approved H15 blue tint bulb to reduce the yellowness. Personally if you can only replace the dipped beam bulb you are 95% there. The main beam bulb upgrade is more for show than necessity.

From a practical point of view it's true. I don't use the high beam often, but the sad thing is the same bulb is for the day lights which look more yellow than Tweety, Neymar's shirt when playing with his national team, Dortmund, Norwich, etc. :D

I agree. That’s why I changed the Kuga H15 bulbs. From memory they were quite expensive, but purely aesthetic as no brighter.
