Philips WhiteVision ultra H8 car headlight bulb, single blister

Fine

Needed new after one of my headlights had obviously failed. Purchased these and considerably a better, clearer white than the old ones it replaced. But obviously not the super bright white that dazzles oncoming traffic and sensibly priced, very happy.

Still going not a bad price

I bought these for a Nissan Micra which has dim yellow sidelights. These Philips WhiteVision Ultra W5W are much brighter lamps (bulbs are things you plant in the ground!).Despite being blue in physical appearance, they do light up bright white and will make my partner's grey car easier to see in the winter in low light conditions. You simply pull the old ones out of the lamp holder and push the new ones in. Don't forget to wipe your invisible natural fingerprint oil off them before activating them to test them, as being halogen lights this oil can cause the lamps to overheat and reduce lifespan. I can't speak to actual longevity but they are a good brand. These lights were good value for money too.If you do happen to be installing these in a similar car (Nissan Micra Mark III), be warned they are challenging to reach behind the headlight units to access and lock/unlock, so my quick tip is to undo the 2 small bolts that hold each light unit securely into the car and then you can wiggle the light unit free just enough so that it tips up at the top end (where you need access tot he rear of the unit to change the lamp). Then you can more easily get your fingers in to tighten the lamp holder back into place after fitting the lamp and it clicks into place.

Alot brighter than my old ones.Which we're just standard bulbs but for a few pounds more I got these.Will definitely buy this type again.

Used on my old mk4 mondeo now a new set on my mk5 mondeo with projector headlights they're so much better than the standard yellow halogens I use these on the country roads in brean sommerset to my caravan I own and in the dark down them lanes they're a must with the ditches and potholes well impressed and do recommend these as projector lights are shocking with standard bulbs

Bought for a Mini Cooper 2016. Would not recommend at all. One of the lamps failed after 8 weeks. I contacted Philips who asked me to send over photos which I did. After about 3 weeks they replied saying that the lamp had been subject to excessive voltage and therefore wasn’t covered under warranty. Customer service was dreadful. Eventually after escalating a complaint they agreed to send a replacement as a gesture of good will. Waited 4 weeks and chased to be told that they had reconsidered my complaint and they had changed their mind. 😂😂. I’ve now had Osram fitted for 3 months and they seem to be fine. I’ll never buy Philips again as this is the second dreadful experience I’ve had with them.

This review is for the HB3 fitment, installed on a 2019 Honda Civic.I bought these bulbs to compliment the LED day time running lights and low beam LEDs (also Philips). Unfortunately, whilst I realistically did not expect these to match the colour temperature of the above, which are typically around 6000K, they are actually slightly more yellow than the standard fit Sylvania 'basic' bulbs supplied with the car, with no noticable improvement in projection distance either. As such, this product feels like an expensive downgrade on the previous set up.The problem lies wholly in Philips misleading marketing, which claims 4200K for their WhiteVision Ultra series, unfortunately, if you examine the small print (not covered on Amazon) this only applies to their H7 and H4 fitments. Actual technical data (again, buried deeply within the Philips website), only states 'up to 3800K', which given the overly warm colour of the bulbs, I would say is not even close.Overall, I'm dissapointed to say the least and will give Philips automative products a wide berth in future.
