Philips Automotive Lighting 9003 Vision Upgrade Automotive Replacement Headlight Bulb, Fits Select High Beam, Low Beam, or Fog Positions (Pack of 2)

Although the product does promise on being bright it fails to promise on being a cool white instead of yellow. Please avoid if you want a cool white

I've been using the H4 version of the old Philips CrystalVision for my '93 Mitsubishi Lancer Coupe for the last three years and have been really satisfied using them, so I decided to order the new CrystalVision Ultra H7 for my 2015 Kia Sportage SUV's high beams. Now, I don't know whether the CrystalVision Ultra is a rebranded version of the Philips Crystalvision bulbs but I'm quite pleased to find out that its color closely matches to the 4300K Philips HID conversion kit that I've fitted to the Sportage's low beams. I would say the CrystalVision Plus is a lot whiter looking than the Sylvania Silverstar Ultra H7s that I've had for a year and its high beam throw is just as good, if not slightly farther down the road. To make matters confusing, Philips also sells a "4300K" version of the H7 under the "WhiteVision" sub-brand for the SE Asia market but it claims to have a color temperature "up to 4300K". That could mean that some batches of the WhiteVision may have color temps lower than 4300K, which could mean a white beam with a tinge of yellow color. The Philips WhiteVision H7 is officially tested to output light up to 1500 lumens, while the CrystalVision Ultra is rated at 1140 lumens (both @ 12 volts, 55 watts). The higher luminosity for the Philips WhiteVision could mean one thing: the WhiteVision may not be as "white" looking as the CrystalVision despite the former's claim to achieve a 4300K color temperature. I suspect the WhiteVision has a weaker blue tinting filter which allows more yellow color spectrum to pass through the quartz glass compared to the CrystalVision Ultra. If you're looking for a pair of quality "HID look" halogen bulb replacements, the Crystalvision Ultra gives a great balance between useful light on the road and beam whiteness. Don't bother with the Philips DiamondVision (5000K) bulbs for everyday driving! I've forgotten that I had them for a brief while after I took delivery of my KIA Sportage and they were a complete waste of money. The DiamondVision bulbs have filters that are "too bluish" that a lot of usable light is sacrificed and my low beams were actually dimmer than the stock OEM H7 bulbs that came with the car. Philips rates the DiamondVision at a meager 935 lumens, which is not bright enough especially for driving on rainy nights. If you want low beams that are very white with a lot of usable light on the road, you might as well go for the Philips HID Conversion Kit like I did. Do check with your local transport authority whether HID conversion kits are legal for your car. If your vehicle doesn't have projection style bulb enclosures i.e., the "open" kind where you can visually see the bulb through the headlamp glass, HID kits would definitely be illegal for your car. As with all very high pressure Xenon gas filled halogen upgrade bulbs, the downside to these kind of bulbs is their limited lifespan compared to long life and stock halogens. If you drive at night a lot, you may need to replace the CrystalVision halogens every 15 months or so. Bottom line: If you're looking for that near HID look for your car's halogen lamps without sacrificing too much usable light, the Philips CrystalVision Ultra bulbs are definitely worth trying out.

These are a great cheaper alternative to $60 Xenon Bulbs. I thought I would try something cheaper and different I loved my xenon headlight bulbs but just wasn’t looking to spend $60. These headlight bulbs so far have been great they are not as bright as Xenon bulbs but they are definitely brighter than factory, if you’re looking for brighter more white headlight bulbs but don’t want to break the bank these are a great choice. Not sure about the longevity as I’ve only had them about a month if the burn out prematurely I’ll be sure to edit my review.

Money wasted..

Very bright and good
