If looking for brighter lights, the following are good choices. They all use stock wattage 55W/65W, are safe to use with plastic lenses and are fully road legal (except for Osram Fog Breaker).
Osram Fog Breaker* (For Off-Road Use only)
2600K (Yellow)
+200% more yellow
+60% more light on the road
Osram All Season Super
3200K (Selective Yellow)
+30% more light on the road
Osram Night Breaker Plus
3500K/3600K (depends on bulb type, e.g. H4 = 3600K, H7 = 3500K)
+90% more light on the road
+35m longer beam
+10% more white
Philips X-treme Vision
3350K
+100% more light on the road
+35m longer beam
Osram Night Breaker Unlimited
3300K/3400K/3500K/3600K/3900K (depends on bulb type, e.g. H4 = 3900K, H7 = 3600K)
+110% more light on the road
+35m/+40m longer beam (depends on bulb type, e.g. H4 = +35m, H7 = +40m)
+20% more white
Philips X-treme Vision +130
3700K
+130% more light on the road
+45m longer beam
Kelvin Color Temperature Comparison
1800K to 2000K = Candle Light
2700K = 60W Incandescent Bulb, Warm White LED
3000K = Golden Light, Halogen
4000K = Natural White LED, Cool White Flourescent
4300K = White by Yellow Light HID
5000K to 5200K = Daylight
5500k to 6500K = Cool White LED
6000K = Deep White Light HID
8000K = White by Blue Light HID
12000K = Blue HID
15000K = Purple HID
How about high-wattage 90W/100W bulbs?
Although high-wattage versions are available, they are not approved for use on public roads. They may be used only in off-road vehicles such as rally cars.
Using high-wattage bulbs may require you to modify your wirings. They can also damage plastic lenses.
How about HIDs?
In most countries, it is not legal to use after market HID lighting kits for converting conventional Halogen headlamps to HID Xenon. If someone wants to convert his vehicle to Xenon HID, he must purchase completely new Xenon HID headlamps.
In the Philippines, there is pending regulation in LTO that prohibits HID retrofit.
My suggestion still remains: If you have stock HID headlamps, then use HID. If you have stock Halogen headlamps, use Halogen.
mga paps tanung ko lang,tumatagal din ba to Philips X-treme Vision +130..matagal din ba pundi..salamat
What is your priority -- Longer life span or Brighter light for increased safety?
If longer life span is more important, just stick with regular halogen bulbs. They will not provide high output but will last longer than Osram NB and Philips XV lamps.
If optimum road illumination at night is more important, get Osram NB and Philips XV lamps. They will provide more light on the road and longer beam range for your safety.
Actual life span will of course depend on your usage. If you drive mostly during the day, or drive only a few hours at night or occasionally, then lamp life should not be a concern.
My Philips XV is already 21 months old and doing great but we drive mostly during the day.
currently using Philips Xtreme Vision 100% after one of bosch star bright light was busted (which I think never reached 2 year mark)
imo, the star bright is good for the price. though nothing different in terms of stock light, the Philips XV was 20-30% brighter and imo, is not worth the price jump

Ok ba ipalit ito sa current hid (projector)? Parang faint masyado yung hid eh baka sira or undersupplied yun kuryente.
Anyway di ba ito hihina kasi dadaan light nya sa projector?
Bro jut instead of giving myself the headache of isolating the issue, bought a replacement assembly and new sets of bulbs instead. :-)
Ill just quote my sms to you earlier (edited *not so excited version hehehe)
Bro jut again, thanks!
bought replacement (non oem) headlight assembly for 3.2k php (oem was 8k pair)
Osram pair of 55w/60w for 500 php
Labor, silicone etc.
Tip 200 php for my homeboys lol
Looks a lot better/cleaner than the projector
Btw pj headlight was apparently dirty and just needs cleaning (pati contacts), but OK nako dun sa replacement :-)
