Review on Enhance Your Ride with Philips Automotive Lighting 9005 CrystalVision Ultra Upgrade Bright White Headlight Bulb (2 Pack) by Emanuel Guffey

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Best if you're stuck with halogen.

I have long suffered with the replacement of headlights with LED. I was able to find an LED replacement for my old halogen bulbs, except for the high beam, as the same bulb works as a DRL (6 volts) in the morning and as a high beam (12 volts) when needed. LEDs don't have that flexibility so I had to stick with a halogen bulb and hope the coat of paint they applied would make it whiter. So, to be clear, this light is white? Does it look like xenon? NO. When I see these lightbulbs, are they white or amber? Yellow but not dark yellow, it has a bit more white in it but definitely NOT white. If you pick a random stranger off the street and ask him, he'll say it's a yellow light. However, if you place it next to a regular halogen headlight, you'll see that there's actually a white accent. In summary, this is NOT a white light, EVER the "xenon look" but if you are stuck in a situation where the same bulb needs to output different voltages and therefore needs to be a halogen bulb, I think this is your best bet . As for visibility, I haven't tried it at night yet, will tonight and will update that.
