What I particularly appreciate about X-treme Vision is that it’s less bulky than most other headlight bulbs in the market, ensuring no car owner will struggle with fitment. Philips X-tremeVision headlights are made for outstanding performance, producing up to 130% brighter light, without compromising on the lifetime. Philips special anti-UV coating technology protects the headlights against harmful ultraviolet radiation, making Philips UV-coated quartz glass ideal for all driving conditions and ensures their longevity at the same time. Combining striking brightness with the kind of lifespan previously unavailable in such a high-performance bulb, Philips X-tremeVision Pro150 provides the visibility to keep you and your loved ones even safer on the road. Thankfully, Philips RacingVision GT200 is also fully tested and ECE-certified for road legal use on all public roads and highways.

Running both tests at the same time, although in different headlamps, gave us a chance to see just how big an advance HID was over halogen when it was introduced over 20 years ago. AutoBulbs Direct’s own brand is a previous winner and it came close again this time around, taking two test victories.The X-tremeVision Pro150 has a perfectly accurate beam that enables it to illuminate up to an extra 70 metres of the road ahead. Advanced filament design provides greater precision and luminance for better illumination of the road, while new Diamond Precision quartz-glass technology ensures more brightness. Given the enormous enhancements to light output already achieved, this extra lifespan is a definite bonus. This is not where we expected to see the uprated Osram and we can only conclude there must be build problems with our two samples. Our figure of merit (FOM) was also calculated using levels at 50 metres in front of the car on the kerb and in the centre of the road, plus twice the hard-to-reach 75-metre roadside mark.

Designed to be easily installed in compatible vehicles, so drivers with maintenance experience will be able to upgrade compatible headlights with ease. Had a tough time travelling 60 kms on a highway, 2 weeks ago (had to slow down due to lack of brightness). What I've noticed, though, is far superior long-distance illumination, with objects easily a hundred metres away clearly discernible -- not the false sense of illumination that PnP HIDs and other stupid (illegal) lamps scatter all over the road.

X-tremeVision G-force is compatible with car models of major brands, such as Audi, BMW, Ford, GM, Toyota and Volkswagen. I have experimented with a number of LED bulbs and have resigned to using halogen aux lamps as almost all my drives are by night. Ideally read all communication between myself and Behemoth, starting from this point, to get the full perspective. With a combination of more light and increased colour temperature, Philips X-tremeVision qualifies as one of the best performance beams in the halogen segment.

Providing more intense light, LEDs last much longer, and Philips X-tremeUltinon LED products show superior durability. Given the similar pricing between these two models, it seems logical to choose the Xtreme Vision 130%. We measured the area of the beam at more than 30 lux, beam reach above three lux, plus the brightest spot. Features like Philips AirFlux and Philips AirCool heat-management systems help them last up to 12 years.

However, it's recommended that you get your new Philips LED headlights installed by specialist mechanics – they will make sure you're ready to go. They outshine most other car lights with up to 130% more brightness, superior beam length and 10G vibration resistance. Even with the poor sample, the Xenon Vision would have finished just behind the Night Breaker, had it complied with the regulations.
