Philips 9004 VisionPlus Headlight Bulb
These bulbs are GREAT!! I purchased a set of these for my HIGH BEAM bulbs on a '02 Dodge Ram 2500 Sport 4X4. For those who dont know,this vehicle has a QUAD LAMP headlight set up. For the LOW BEAM bulb,I'm using the Philips 9007 XTREME POWER(would have prefered the XTREME POWER for the HIGH BEAM bulb,Philips does not have it available in a 9004.) I have a heavy duty wire relay harness on all headlights/fog lamps on this truck. This truck has a 4" lift,typically,this would put far less light on the road. NOT THE CASE!!!! Low beam pattern is incredible! Thick,even,wide beam pattern in front of the truck that reaches quite far down the road. High beam,well,let's just say its more than incredible---Night becomes DAY!!!! Absolutely blown away by the amount of light coming from these bulbs, the distance of the beam and the pattern of light! This is so much more LIGHT FOR THE BUCK than a QUALITY HID/projector set up. Forget about those hid-retro kits,they scatter bright light everywhere,like a streetlight,AND don't put it ON DOWN THE ROAD where it's important. Great driving dark Georgia country roads at night with sooooo much light on the road and street legal to boot!!PHILIPS has always been a leader in automotive lighting,German engineering at it's absolute finest here folks!

BalasHapusThese lights are definitely an improvement over whatever oem lights the dealer had installed in the parents 2001 Accord. As a quick test I drove a route with a combination of street and highway, both with a combination of well lit and under-lit that I've regularly been commuting through. I live in a major city so didn't get a chance to test these in any pitch black places akin to rural suburbs, but I'm sure they'll do well there. The light put out by the VisionPlus is brighter and does appear to shine farther ahead than the oem lights. I can see the light bounce off signs that are farther ahead now. Even in areas well lit by street lights I can make out the round shape of light cast on the road by these VisionPlus bulbs. Faded lane markers, even after being snow weathered (had 15-17inches of snowfall yesterday) are much clearer now and for an adequate distance ahead of the car. Based on these initial results I'm very happy I got these as I was getting worried for my mother's aging eyes behind the wheel, but even she saw the improvement immediately.
BalasHapusSince this is the first time I've tried the VisionPlus I can't comment on the life of the bulbs, but I am expecting they'll last longer than SilverStar Ultras as I've read they do in forums on the interweb. I previously got SS Ultras on my '04 Accord hoping for better lighting on extended highway trips through CT and upstate NY but honestly I didn't notice an improvement over the oems, at least not $50 worth (Autozone price, where I bought them). They also didn't seem to make a difference during the rain. I've read the VisionPlus aren't as white as the SS Ultras and that may help regarding reflections caused by rain or snow. I'll have to wait and see during one of those downpours when the wipers can't keep up and traffic slows to a halt.
With the initial results and at about $6-7 less per bulb than SS Ultras from Amazon, I'm very satisfied and am already leaning on VisionPlus for all future replacements.

BalasHapusthese new headlights work great. it is nice to be able to see again. before i was using OEM headlights that i could pick-up at "where ever". since i have a 1 3/4 hour commute to work, when it is still dark in the morning, i wanted a set that was a bit brighter and would allow me to see further down the road. these do that for me and i am very happy with them. i would definetley buy them again.
BalasHapusI bought this to replace a burnt bulb in 2003 GMC Envoy. This was a good choice and works well. I wouldn't say it is any different than the existing bulbs in the car, but since it came in a pair, I replaced both bulbs. I saved the extra working bulb as backup. I would recommend this. Great price $15 for a pair. I uploaded some photos for everyone to view.
BalasHapusReplaced my old bulbs with these bad boys! what a amazing difference! driving at night has never been so easy! such an improvement over my OEM bulbs
BalasHapusThese bulbs are noticeably brighter than the OEM bulbs (this is compared to 3 year old bulbs). They definitely put off more white light, and have more light at the edges of the cone than OEM bulbs.
BalasHapusI replaced the OEM bulbs in my wife's car in dec. 2009 with Phillips Vision Plus. They are brighter than the OEM so she was able to see better at night. I just noticed that one of the bulbs burned our yesterday. They lasted over 2 years. I am very pleased and plan on replacing with the same bulbs.
