PHILIPS Diamond Vision 9005 HB3 Halogen HID Bulbs (Pack of 2)

I tried NUMEROUS halogen and LED lights and the LED's flickered. And all the other halogens were yellow - nowhere near white light.These are halogens that are truly bright and white. Not blue or blinding. Love. Love. Love.

These bulbs are so white, bright, visible and light up the road so well, that I highly recommend these bulbs to everyone. The only bulbs I've found to be brighter are the PIAA Super GTX bulbs, but they are also nearly twice the price. I have tried dozens of bulbs over the years and these are absolutely the best bang for your buck. PIAA is pricey and a bit brighter and the GP Thunder are very cheap and appear to be very white and bright when you look at them, but on the road where I live (lots of deer and wildlife and no streetlamps at all) they are not worth even the the cheap price. Phillips has found the perfect balance and I will buy these for my brand new Veloster when the bulbs burn out. They are quite impressive.

Right away I need to say: people who think that these will automatically be "better" than this or that should not be paid attention to.These are very blue; very similar to 5000k (a little closer to 5250-5500k depending on your cars reflector housing) and are not the farthest casting lights that you will find. They cast a very direct beam of soft but bright blue light very widely for high beams, and light up the sides of the road more than most others- they don't use all of their energy lighting the tops of trees 30 feet up.Street signs half a mile away will have a visible brightening in their shine, which is pretty standard.What these are REALLY good for is seeing animals in the street. Instead of blending into the yellow of standard headlights, the blue of these beams very clearly illuminates the colors of animals versus pavement or trees- deer, raccoons, cats, dogs, you name it, they're obvious. (In fact, that's the reason I got them, I would have just grabbed a Opt7 LED High beam if I had wanted more brightness, as I'm not looking to change to HID xenon.)2005 Nissan Altima 3.5- vroom.

Very dissatisfied with this product as compared to order for same part from Amazon 2 years ago.See included photo, the 2019 design is left, 2021 design on right.It seems that the product production has been moved from Europe to China and slight design changes lead to warmer color and poor beam alignment compared to same product sold in 2019. Previous version has sharp centered beam pattern like OEM but whiter color. 2021 version has unfocused beam pattern and warmer color.Given the sketchiness of Amazon regarding sellers and authentic parts, maybe these are not actually Phillips bulbs, but inferior aftermarket parts? Or maybe Phillips quality has gone down.The product works, but not well.

If you are looking for more visibility from your headlights then trust me, you will definitely get more from these bulbs. I have a 2010 civic and the standard yellowish bulbs were OK, but I thought I might try something a little better, and these didn't disappoint. They are brighter, but not as bright(blinding) as those HID kits, but I think that's overkill anyway. These bulbs are perfect. The color that these bulbs put out in my car is a blue-ish white with a very slight green tint to them. I have had them (low and high beam sets) since January and they are just as good as the day I put them in. Thanks!

All in all I was for the most part satisfied with this purchase until I recently discovered that one of these 9005 light bulbs BLEW UP!!!So, I wrote to the seller asking for help. I submitted a detailed description of what happened and asked the seller to please replace the 9005 light bulbs that I bought and to send me a prepaid return label so I could return the defective light bulbs, or what was left of them.And, the seller who is located in NEVADA told me to get in touch with the light bulb manufacturer who is located in GERMANY!!!At this point I would not recommend buying ANYTHING from SPEED SHOP!!!
