Anyone Tried Philips X-Treme Power Bulbs?

[rion]

sir rion, i went to megamall and talked with the manager there... wala daw sila provincial branch and wala sila online transactions. so sorry bro

thanks anyway po Patriarch.

Philips website says the available bulbs for xtreme are 9003, 9006, 9007, 9008/H13, H7.

9003 is H4 right? what about H3?

Got to test the X-treme this evening. Light throw is good. I especially like the quality of the whiteness of the light. It is neither yellowish like ordinary OEM halogen bulbs nor like the superwhite bulbs. Almost similar to the OEM HID light characteristics of new Camry or CRV. I read more about the bulbs after doing a google search. The brightness is due to the higher gas pressure inside the bulb, thus allowing the tungsten filament to burn brighter. The silver cap covering I think also contributes to the "80%" more throw since it allows the light to pass through it, as compared to conventional OEM halogen bulbs which consists of a grayish cap.

Where did you buy them and how much are they? TIA

got this from other forum http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread/2151068 the problem is not yet available pa rito ang osram nightbreaker, so antay antay pa ko... based on the older philips vision plus, medyo maikli ang life span unlike the osrams talagang matagalan though depende sa gamit....

comparing the osram nightbreaker (+90%) vs. philips x-treme power (+80%)



Nightbreaker (left) vs. X-Treme Power (right) -- Low Beam

Check your owner's manual.

actually nakita ko na po sir... pardon my stupid question. hehehe... :D
ang problema ko naman ngayon is what to buy... the silverstar or the x-treme... pareho kasi maganda reviews... kailangan ko na upgrade headlight bulbs ko, hirap magdrive dito sa bulacan lalo pag napapadpad sa mga parts ng hi-way na walang street lamps.

if i were you, id get the silverstar...way much nicer, and the light throw is impressive especially in dark areas, if you're intrested i only sell it 400bucks/per bulb...

How about this one? It's also a new product by Philips - NightGuide Bulbs
Here's the link:

http://www.lighting.philips.com/in_e...ghting&lang=en

anyone have tried using this bulb? based on my research, x treme is good but it doesn't have that 50ft light throw as been promised for the night guide bulb. i'm contemplating on getting this one but still looking some reviews using it on wet roads. (anohter thing is i'm also not sure if this is already available in our market )

[tibo_3rd]

i've been trying for quite some time looking for philips nightguide but couldn't find any here in metro manila. even my cousin in california couldn't find any there.
