Phillips Vision bulbs - any good ?
Discussion
Hi - Have recently bought a Yr2000 523 which I'm well pleased with. Have seen a few adverts for the phillips vision bulbs for these, which claim to offer up to 50% more light.
Just wondered if anyone has tried them at all. I do think there is room to improve on the standard dipped beam, although main bean seems fine.
I fitted them on dip beam and there isn't a huge difference. Of course the dip beam pattern is well controlled/defined anyway so you can't see any further but perhaps the ground looks a little brighter.
Got mine from
www.performancebulbs.co.uk
(their prices include postage).

a good set of xenons do help, whiter light etc. If you are after some really good lights, get a HID kit... will set you back about £400 - £600 but the difference is amazing.
