Question


Anyone know which are the better bulbs :

Philips Vision Plus or Blue Vision ?

I assume the BV as they appear to cost more than the VP ?

Vision Plus for headlights
Blue Vision for sidelights.

VP give greater lighting distance than BV IMHO (lol acronym central)

They went in no bother - didnt even break that little plastic bit with the screw hole on the side lights.

Looks a lot better than the horrid yellowy color.

I'm now thinking I'll swap the main bulbs - from Halford Xenon to the Philips Vision Plus. Not sure If I'll see any benefit.

Most pleased.

Trumble - you might notice a difference but not tried the Xenons to comment but in a light survey the VP came out tops for lighting and distance etc....
