brightest halogen bulbs i have used,
* bright light output for halogens
* wider than average beam pattern
* excellent build quality (made in Germany)
* smaller size bulbs makes installation easier
Cons:
* shorter lifetime compared to regular bulbs (150hr)
first thing i do when buying new cars is changing their bulbs. cars, specially economy ones like civics and corollas, are equipped with long life low output lights. only bulbs i don’t change are for my HID equipped luxury vehicle. as for halogens, I have tried many bulbs and i have learned 3 important lessons:
1. Do not buy those blue tinted bulbs that run on dangerously high voltage
2. performance bulbs die quickly
3. Philips x-treme are the best darn halogens out there
No matter which halogen bulbs you buy, if they claim more brightness (ie. sylvania silverstra ultra, osram nightbreaker, philips x-treme) they will not last you long. This because the filament burns at higher temperatures to improve brightness. Even still, the Philips x-tremes lasted significantly longer than the sylvania silverstar ultras. Philips x-treme lasted for about 1.5 years or roughly 150-200 hours compared to sylvania’s 15 hours! They are also brighter than the sylvanias but not as white. also compared to other bulbs, philips x-treme powers are really well built with water resistant quartz glass and smaller than normal bulb size which makes them easier to install. Overall i recommend this bulb due to its higher than average light output and wider beam pattern. Only disadvantage is reduced bulb life time. Note that there are now newer Philips x-treme vision +100, which are slightly (10%) brighter.

Noticeable improvement – worth the money,
Did a lot of research on the various replacement bulbs that are available. Unfortunately, much of what I found was overwritten, flowery hype on what are basically «tinted» stock bulbs or simply outright BS («Xenon HID 9007 Hyper Purple» for example) and it came down to there only being 3 or 4 «real» choices on the market that would provide a useful improvement in light output.
In checking those choices, the Philips X-treme Power bulbs seem to have the best combination of increased light output combined with good longevity, so I bought a pair. While I did not really notice a big improvement driving in built-up areas, there was a noticeable increase in light on dark or underlit roads, probably around 25%, + the light itself was more focused and evenly spread compared to the stock bulbs. These bulbs are fully DOT approved and did not seem to emit excess glare.
Overall, I would definitely recommend them as an inexpensive yet worthwhile upgrade. As a side note, the bulbs that I received were made in Germany, which was a nice change from all the Chinese crap that seems to dominate the market.
