Review on Enhance Night Vision with Philips X-treme Vision 130% H1 55W Headlight Bulbs by Matt Watson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good bulb, bad packaging

I bought these to replace the standard bulbs that came with my new headlights. They are significantly lighter. I looked at these bulbs in comparison to Crystal Vision bulbs (designed to give a whiter, xenon-like light) and was concerned they would be too amber for my liking. They really aren't yellow at all, which pleasantly surprised me. You'll obviously notice a difference if you place it next to a whiter bulb, but that's about it. The extra work is worth it. I deducted 1 star because the packaging, as mentioned in other reviews, is inadequate. I bought two 2-packs (to replace low and high beam). One pack arrived normally and in the other a bulb came loose and rattled during transport. Luckily it was still working, but I'm not sure if this will affect its lifespan. If it goes away within the first two months I will come back and update this review. Other than that, we assume it's still working fine.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Null
