PHILIPS9005 CrystalVision ultra Upgrade Headlight Bulb (Pack of 2)

MUCH Brighter than the original bulbs on our 2015 Nissan Rogue.

I have led low beams headlights at around 5500k and that has a yellowish to them. I installed these high beam bulbs at night when I turned them on and my first thought was ugly yellow color so much more so then my other lights, what a waste of time and money then i noticed how far they project and am surprised how far they project light. i was disappointed the light from these is really on the yellow side, yet they project much farther then anything standard bulb I have tried and i like that,I drive on country roads and a bright headlight is very helpful. i only used them a few times and am happy with the distance i can see. i don't know if you can get any better with this standard bulb type, there not white. if you want white your going to have to use around 6000k xenon or LED, any more then 6000k it turns blue anything under 6000k starts turning yellow. As for standard bulbs these are the best i have tried and cant beet the price.I remembered trying blue tinted brand name bulbs like these on my other older truck many years ago and was disappointed from low brightness and color, I thought things may have changed over the years so I tried these. I not positive these are brighter but they do project farther then the bulbs that they replaced

Firstly, Gabriel Ricci's review is spot on, I did similar exhaustive review and read up of all the aftermarket replacement bulbs (DRLs and High Beams) for Honda Pilot 2011. These came closest without going the expensive, warranty voiding HID conversion or other brand bulbs like Syl and PIAA etc. also Philips reputation and several owners' experience counted in the decision. The vendor Morex shipped it fast. Now if you know what you are buying into and have expectations accordingly, these bulbs are awesome, they are brighter than factory OEM bulbs ( Sylvania and Osram), little hint of blue, still remains in the yellow , near white spectrum, maybe about 3800 to 4000 kelvin. These are nowhere near HID nor meant to be. Neither they are the Gaudy, bluish color that some of the other bulbs look. These preserve or enhance the intensity of the OEM while improving about 25% light output, which in turn is very effective during night driving. Cannot comment on the longevity as they have been in use just a few hours now... Will update after 6 months or earlier if there are any life related issues. BTW, installation on a Pilot is a real PITA given the tight working room to access these lights. Need good amount of finger dexterity to get the job done. Driver's side is more difficult, but not undo able with some patience, nothing to be removed like air filter intake etc. wear thin working gloves and ensure no dirt, smudges on the bulb during installation.

***UPDATE* one bulb burned out this week, other bulb is still brighter than the stock bulb I put back in until my new set of bulbs arrive. bulb lasted 5 years and I drive with my headlights on every day. still a 5 star review*****Crystal Vision bulb is definitely brighter and has a better light pattern than the stock bulbs. I would have people almost nightly flash their headlights at me. Sometimes I would drive with just the led fog lights on as they lit the road better than the stock yellow bulbs. The Crystal vision definitely has a hot spot making aiming them easy, the stock bulbs were more like flood lights. I can see down the road significantly farther and clearer than with the stock bulbs and can also see what is in the ditch line. Not as white as I was hoping but much better than stock. Photo with DRL on is the Crystal vision. The stock lights were so poor I did not take a before night picture and my vehicle is less than 6 months old. I have projector style headlights and from my research LED headlights do not work well in halogen projectors, so these seemed the brightest, and whitest option. Will definitely consider Crystal vision again when it is time for headlight replacement.

So Philips is supposed to be a good brand name..and having used a whackload of no names and what not and had my wiring being fried (You know... the 100W in 55W socket ones) - I decided to pull the trigger on these. What a disappointment - there's literally no difference in them between my stock "Yellow" Sylvania Halogens and these...I am running HID's in my low beam and trust me, those have the true white/blue tint ... vs these - no comparison (granted, I wasn't expecting a true white light, but something whiter than stock at least!) Save your $.

Put the highs and lows in my 06 Jeep GC and must say they are definitely better than the OEM bulbs. I was having a hard time seeing at night but didn't want to put HID's in yet, so I thought I'd try these. For about $20, these are a steal. I've only driven 2 times at night with them, but I could see a difference in color and width/distance of the lights. At least on my Jeep they illuminate the sides of the road and clearly can see. When I have my fogs on (which are OEM) If I pull up to my garage, you can see a difference in color between them. These are whiter and much more crisp. Definitely recommend them. Now I just hope that the lifespan is pretty long. But for $20, you can't beat it.

They are definitely a lot whiter than standard bulbs for sure at night probably not as white for drl though (lower wattage to bulbs I think), good buy though worth it. Got a set of silver Star ultras in another car but they are not as white as the crystal visions, but if you want hid look spend the money and get hid otherwise these are good bulbs get em. This review is for h11 bulbs also..
