Review on ๐Ÿ’Ž PHILIPS Diamond Vision H11 Halogen HID Super White 5000K (Pair): Obsidian Brilliance for Enhanced Visibility by Greg Mahoney

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pretty cool! for lamps

love the color - definitely white with a bluish cast, that's exactly what I wanted. I hate that they aren't very powerful - my drive home is (right now) at sunset, and I can't tell the headlights are on until I get to a rural part of my driveway. Other vehicle headlights and streetlights completely negate the effect of these lights - I just don't see them on the road. and when I end up on roads that don't have streetlights, I end up using fog lights or high beams. also not thrilled that they won't seem to last very long. I will update if anything changes. UPDATE: It's been 6 months and the lights are still on. My initial rating was for 3 stars but I realized I had installed them incorrectly and they weren't pointing straight. Rating updated to 5 stars. Will continue to be updated if anything changes. UPDATE: It's been 18 months and the lights are still on. At the moment I can highly recommend these lamps. I believe all the negative reviews regarding the lamp's durability have more to do with improper installation (e.g. touching the lamp with bare hands during installation) than anything else. Luckily I know how to install headlights so it wasn't a problem. to me.
