    Philips Nightguide Platinum: how are they?

    I am aware of the above, but Sitel is a real company, and they even have a wikipedia article. With all the stupid outsourcing poop that goes on, it really is hard to tell sometimes! However, I promise I visited their site before reporting back here! (such outsourcing is also a large part of...

    Philips Nightguide Platinum: how are they?

    I heard back from Philips, and they are legit. The NGP does exist, and the best place to buy them is Amazon. I was given this link for the catalog search to find the bulb type: https://www.automotivebulbfinder.com/philips/ The email was from a sitel.com address and sitel seems to be some...

    Hella 6213F headlight (ECE, H4) 148x84 148mm 84mm. Is it any good?

    Would this be a good option for a GM car using those stupid 150mm sealed beams? (H4701/H4703) I know that certain GM export models used a headlights in this size using an H4 bulb in each high and low beam (but only one works for the respective high and low beam), so this could possibly work...

    I emailed Philips asking whether they really are real Philips products. If they reply, I will relay the info here

    Philips Nightguide Platinum: how are they?

    Philips has a new line of bulbs called Night Guide Platinum. They are made in China, unlike the Xtreme Vision that is mostly made in Germany. The most significant thing about them is that they are available in 9005XS and 9006XS, the straight base variants of 9005 and 9006. No Silverstar Ultra...

    Best 9007 Bulbs

    As you know, the NHX prices fluctuate widely! Right now, Amazon has one pair for $15 So even though you already got a pair of Philips, maybe you might still be interested in picking up those $5 Nighthawks

    I really don't like the single LED brake light on the new Toyota Rav4

    I was behind a new Rav4 today (it's the newest generation Rav4, so either brand new or almost new), and the brake lights are just a single LED on each side, along with a third brake light high-mount stop consisting of several LED's that were noticeable dimmer than each single main brake light...

    Are Sylvania Silverstar Ultra H7 the same bulb as Osram Nightbreakers in 2021?

    That ZXE Gold seems similar to the Nightbreaker Laser, but they're definitely NOT worth $75 a pair! Especially when you can get the real NBL for $20-30 including international shipping.

    Ford OEM Headlight Disappointment

    Remember that Ford was the primary driving force behind the stupid 9004, 9007, and 9008/H13 systems that place more of an emphasis on low price and long life, the hell with everything else, including actual performance. Ford might even be the worst company in terms of OEM headlights. They also...

    Past the end of the line for GE Night Hawk sealed beams

    Didn't they make the Nighthawk sealed beams on brand-new tooling? I know the non-NH sealed beams, as well as all Sylvania and Wagner sealed beams, were made on worn-out tooling before being outsourced to China. From that link, it seems that the Nighthawk H4666 sealed beams have been...

    New Jeep Cherokee brake lights odd behavior with turn signals

    I was behind a new Cherokee at a red light, and I noticed when the turn signal is on, the brake light for that side is off. The difference here is that the Cherokee has amber rear turn signals! They seem to be in the same place as the brake lights, which light up the normal red. WTF? While...

    Saturn Astra vs European Opel Astra H headlights and taillights

    Is it possible to retrofit the European lights on to the American-market Saturn Astra? They are actually not the same even though GM changed little from Opel to Saturn. In fact, the lights may be the biggest difference between Saturn and Opel versions. The Saturn Astra in the US uses the Hella...

    Available headlight bulbs BC, Canada

    Philips Xtreme Vision is Philips' best, but the NHX is better and worth waiting a few days for. When you do get new bulbs, regardless of what you end up buying, keep the good old bulb as a spare. Another option is to buy the European Pathfinder headlights that use H4 bulbs. Go to ebay.de and...

    1988 Dodge b250 conversion van

    They are actually called 200mm sealed beams. I think the size is like 6x7 or something. H6054 is the size number. Nothing wrong with the Hella E-codes. Amazon has them for $83 for the kit. Type (or copy/paste) B001G72VIK in the search bar on Amazon. Pair them with Osram Nightbreaker H4 bulbs...

    1998 Isuzu Trooper lighting improvement

    You can use the European headlights which take H4 bulbs. In Europe, it was called Opel Monterey. So, on ebay.es search for "Monterey faro [derecho/izquierdo]" (Spanish words for right/left) or you could go to ebay.fr and search for "Monterey phare [droit/gauche]" or ebay.de and search for...
