May nakapag Philips X-Treme Vision, or Osram Night Breaker Plus na ba for Montero?

I just want to make sure na hindi masusunog ang reflector

Kakapalit ko lang from stock to osram nb+, i chose it over philips xv, mas mura by half ang osram, and i think halos pareho lang naman ng buga.. kung sakaling mas maliwanag ang philips, then pay double.. compared sa napundi kong stock, sobrang liwanag ng nb+ so its a very good buy for me, and since di naman pala ganun kaputi ang light, im sure mas ok to sa ulan.. we'll know kung gano sya katagal, hopefully 2yrs or more

ang xv 2500 sa blade, ang nb+ 1,200 sa ace hardware.. im sure mas mura sa banawe pero wala nako time para dumaan pa dun so i settled sa megamall.. dapat philips kukunin ko pero nakita ko osram, free install na rin so kinuha ko na, kalahati ba naman ang diprensya

Mahal naman sa Blade, 1.5K bili ko last year ng XV sa cartronics...

Sofar bilib ako sa osram nb+, maganda kulay, puti na may konting dilaw, kaya ok sya sa wet asphalt, lakas din talaga ng buga compared sa stock hl bulbs, lifespan na lang ang kelangang malaman

Yup, very satisfied sa Osram NBP. Yung Hi-Lo ko is both HB3. I convert HB3 to fit HB4 socket(para mas maliwanag/wala kasing cover yung taas ng bulb). So,if you will check the lifespan of HB3 compared to HB4 is mas maikli. Pero I've been using it for almost 4 months na and buhay pa din tapos palagi pang naka-on ang Lo beam na HB3 ko.

Ung xv parang 6000k
Ung nbp parang 4300k
So mas maganda pa dn ung nbp kasi yellowish white sya? Thanks :-)

I eventually settled with Osram Nightbreaker Plus. I went to C3 car audio at Banawe and couldn't resist their 1050php offer for a pair of NBPs, I was already embarrassed to haggle more given the low initial price offer. They didn't have Philips Xtreme Vision, but other shops nearby sells a pair for around 1800php. I also got Solarzen Pure Yellow for my fogs from Goldcars Banawe haggled down to 850php a set, since I heard in the forums that Solarzen is better than Euroline Pure Yellow which is 650php in C3. I also availed of the headlight detailing service in Goldcars for 1200php. Here are my observations:

Even if Philips XVs would be a bit brighter, I think the extra 750php is not worth it. I feel that Osram NBPs brightness are enough so I don't need a brighter and more expensive option. In fact, its a bit more than enough for me after the headlight detailing, since the reflections from the rear panels of the cars in front of me during bumper-to-bumper traffic is already a bit glaring for me at times.

Also, since people say it is a bit whiter than Philips XVs, it is an extra reason for me to get it over XVs, given it's bright enough and cheaper too. Although, I couldn't really tell the extra whiteness from my stock bulbs. Both have the typical halogen-like yellowish burst, and for me its not even close to 5000k HID color, as one would expect from a halogen. I tested this in tonight's rainy evening and confirmed the rumor false which says that NBPs aren't effective in evening rains. Given the halogen-ish color, its light doesn't get diffused unlike that of a 6000k HID in the evening rain, light beam is visible even and doesn't get eaten up with street lights as what rumors say. I was able to see clearly in the evening rain even without using fogs, definitely brighter than stock.

I also like the color of my new fogs, the pure yellow burst seems effective in the evening rain, and it complements the NBPs color. The brightness seems at par with the stock, but the new color gives my ride a new character than the stock fog light color. I can't wait to test this on an actually foggy weather in Tagaytay.

All in all, I'm really satisfied with my new set of lamps. I just hope that the lifespan of these bulbs will not be too short!

Chief,

Can you show some pics?
Too bad you were not at Tagaytay last night.
It would have been a good test run, since visibility is almost zero due to rain and fog.

Not satisfied with my philips xv, kinakain siya ng streetlights and wala ko masyado makita pag umuulan sa gabi. Oh well, retrofit na lang pag-asa ko.

ok ang retrofit.... pero with all the stock h4 na try ko yung lumang philips extreme(unung version ng philips extreme/medyo yellowish) ang pinaka ok and also the rally type philips h4 (100watt low/ 130watt high) kaso makaka dilaw ng lens headlight pero malakas talaga..

the extreme vision went to the whiter side of the light spectrum
kaya masasapawan talaga ng street lights and mabawasan contrast on inclement weather.
