Philips X-tremeVision Pro150 H7 car headlight bulb +150%, set of 2

Product Information

Phillips provides a two-year warranty, which is impressive for this price point. In contrast, most other bulbs only guarantee a one-year lifespan, ensuring you’ll get your money’s worth.

As is evident from the picture, on a dark night, the Extreme Vision sufficiently illuminates the road ahead. The beams themselves could reach further, but the falling snow obstructs how much farther the X-treme vision extends. It finished last in all our tests and delivered just 16 per cent of the area above 30 lux compared with our winner – easily visible to the naked eye. It came as no surprise that both samples failed to reach the minimum light levels by a significant margin. Avoid. the results table in the other two tests, although only by small margins behind stablemate Ring. Two well matched samples underlined its original-equipment status. The following video compares the Extreme Vision with other popular bulbs. I’ve queued it up to the comparison section – just hit play. Experiencing Xtreme Vision’s Material and Longevity Unlike other 150% upgrade bulbs, these H7 X-tremeVision Pro150 headlight bulbs last on average for up to 450 hours. That’s more than double the lifespan of other 150% bulbs on the market.As the Xtreme Vision is a Halogen bulb, it uses Xenon gas to boost brightness without having to increase wattage or the kelvin Rating. This means you get more brightness without generating extra heat or sacrificing lifespan. Would I Recommend Phillips Xtreme Vision?

Philips have also designed their X-tremeVision Pro150 headlight bulbs range to scrupulous production standards in compliance with ECE homologation regulations – meaning they are completely road legal for public usage. And with a lifespan of up to 450 hours, the X-tremeVision Pro150 even matches its predecessor, the Philips X-tremeVision, for longevity. This Ring was close to the 200-metre mark in the distance test and pipped the uprated Osram for maximum brightness. In the light lab there was a good spread of light, with a clear hot spot close to the 75-metre mark. A strong all-round performance. Blaupunkt no longer designs and manufactures their own products. It has witnessed the same fate as Westinghouse. It used to be very good, but the company no longer exists. The brand of blaupunkt, however, continues to exist in a licensing format. Meaning any company can pay a royalty to blaupunkt (now Aurelius AG) and stamp their name on their products. Most of these companies are Chinese no-name companies. That is why you see the quality of blaupunkt is no longer the same. Software then measures the light at various points in the beam. It’s an unusual, if not unique, set-up, but the results have been corroborated by tests at parent company Osram’s conventional light tunnel in Germany, which we have used in the past. Osram's Night Breaker family has - Night Breaker Unlimited, Night Braker Laser and Xenarc Night Breaker Unlimited. Which among these is better?Where neither bulb range has a particular flaw, the biggest difference that might hold sway between the RacingVision GT200 and X-tremeVision Pro150 is the extra 50% light that the RacingVision GT200 boasts. Though it is worth remembering that where this is a significant increase in light output, it does come at the cost of a reduced bulb lifespan – 250 hours compared with the X-tremeVision Pro150's whopping 450 hours.

Philips may have taken both wins here, but it has not all been plain sailing because a poor sample, which failed to meet the minimum ECE light output, meant we did not rate the Xenon Vision. Let's first take a look at the X-tremeVision Pro150. Taking over the reins from the massively popular X-tremeVision range of car headlight bulbs, this range carries on the X-tremeVision tradition of offering huge lighting improvements. Where the X-tremeVision offered improved light output up to 130% brighter than a standard halogen, the X-tremeVision Pro150 ups the ante, offering a remarkable extra 20% increase. As such, the X-tremeVision Pro150 offers an immense, Maximum Performance light, with an up to 150% increase in terms of brightness. Great bulbs at a good price. Replaced the front pair with Philips I did have Osram Nightbreaker in. The Philips out perform them in every way.Additional safety distance compared beam length to derived minimum after ECE regulation, based on 1 Lux. Farthest distance from the car. Again these are from what I read on the forum and beyond, no experience though and it might not be accurate. Where the Philips RacingVision GT200 surpasses its predecessor, the RacingVision range, for light output, it does so at no cost to bulb lifespan. In fact, miraculously, where the RacingVision offered a bulb lifetime of up to 200 hours, the experts in Philips' engineering teams have endowed the new RacingVision GT200 range with an expected bulb lifespan of up to 250 hours. Given the enormous enhancements to light output already achieved, this extra lifespan is a definite bonus. Thankfully, Philips RacingVision GT200 is also fully tested and ECE-certified for road legal use on all public roads and highways.

If you have a dual barrel setup with separate high and low beam, my favorite combination would be Osram/Phillips LED for low beam and Xtremevision/NB laser for high beam. It would give the best of beam spread as well as throw and will be a boon on the highway. Make sure the installation is correct especially with the LED which is sensitive to the rotation of the bulb.

Think about what the X-tremeVision Pro150's extra light means in terms of your driving experience. Such a massively enhanced light allows for added vision on the road, but it also helps alert other drivers on the road to your presence. Driving from this position of improved light has the extra benefit of improving one's comfort and safety on the road. Coming to the actual problem itself, please clarify if you have a double barrel headlight setup or a single one for both high and low beam. I have seen Jazz With both so not sure.
