Philips MotoVision Bulbs
 
So what do you guys think of this?

Anyone tried them yet? :?

I was hoping someone on here had so i could see if they were worth getting.

In principle i like the idea that the headlights will be diffrent to the other traffics but i've also read that the colour of the light makes a diffrence to its clarity on the road.

C'mon, someone must have used these or had a mate of a mate of a mate friends girlfriends dog minder, who has at least.

Anyone got a view on these? I know some people swear by the vision plus (whatever they are called) bulbs, so maybe one of you could tell us why you chose not to try the Motovision ones?

Try em

The warmer (Higher K value of the light) the colour of the bulb, the less intese it is.

The best compromise is 4000K or 5000K. These produce a nice white light. The gas, Xeon just helps it achieve this colour temprature.

Organge..hmmm, not sure if they would be legal in the UK

I've never seen them for sale and I'm too lazy to search. How much are they? I did use Philips Bluevision which were brighter than OE. Using PIAA Extreme White now which are bright as well. I think they had a better spread of white light than the SV I was following. End of my terrible review for other lights. :roll:

They need a ECE rating to be legal on the road I think.

But is that acceptable in the UK? Is that the 'E' marked that the law requires? I generaly dont know for once :D

they do look interesting, but at £11 each i think i want to here some propper reviews b4 i buy a set.

but IF they work, its always better to be more visable to other road users

i'm sure a firm as big as Phillips would make sure they carried a very large disclaimer if these were not suitable for use in the uk.

Thanks for the info re the K value btw. Helpful to know.
