Review on Upgrade to Philips H6054CVC1 CrystalVision Ultra Xenon-Look Halogen Headlight - 1 Pack! by Brian Krump

Ok people read a lot of reviews and a bunch of people say how bad these headlights are. but if you read their reviews you will understand that they were waiting for something. These are HALOGEN headlights. They're a little brighter than OEM, but that's about it. You are no wonder to turn them into HID. They are simply placed. Halogen headlights, which are slightly brighter and shine higher in Kelvin (white). Because of this, they won't last long. You need to understand what a halogen is. It's not xenon or LED. OEM bulbs are around 3500 Kelvin. I guess around 4000 Kelvin. This means the color of the light is WHITE than the OEM. The same color as the standard xenon headlights used in factory vehicles. They came in a Philips box, they are Phillips bulbs and they work exactly as I expected. Just because I expected halogen headlights. not xenon or LED or other HID. if you want them Then spend the extra money and stop expecting the halogen to be that bright. Easy Lesson. You have 2 things to look for when you think of light. Kelvin. Bright color. Look at the Kelvin table. You'll see what I mean. Well, that's actually one of the least important things when it comes to light. The shadow of light can change the appearance of what you see. Soft white around 3200 Kelvin has a yellow cast. 4500 Kelvin or Bright White and 5500 Kelvin Day White are hues in the range of 1000-10000 and above. The color of the light means much less than lumens. Lumen is a measure of light intensity. Depending on the manufacturer, halogen is around 20-30 lumens per watt. These headlights are 35W for low beam and 65W for high beam. that makes them 1050 lumens for low and 1950 lumens for high. Vice versa. Let's take a look at the 5x7 LED light. You can find them here for about 30W / 55W less than halogen headlights. BUT. An LED with a color temperature of 4500 Kelvin actually approaches 85 lumens per watt. This makes them 2550 lumens low and 4675 lumens high. LED lights are approximately 240% brighter. and will continue to shine.
