I'm thinking about getting the Philips Diamond vision (H4) tomorrow, but can't quite decide if I should get the Blue vision one's instead. What do you guys think?

get the diamond, it looks lot more to close HID than the blue.....
Go for HID, no need to waste money on blue color bulbs.
If you want it bluish-white, go for Diamondvision. If you want white light, then go Crystalvision. I agree with the others, don't waste your time with Bluevision. Crystalvision comes with matching parkers, not sure about Diamondvision, will have to check the set of diamonvision that I have and will let you know.
Went and bought the Diamond vision, they were originally $145, got em for $116 :D Last box left. They don't come with parkers though :(
On the box it says "DiamondVision is even whiter than Xenon HID lights".
I'll have it installed when I go in soon to get my brake pads replaced. I'll take before and after pics and post them up when they're installed.
I've returned the Diamond vision globes after doing quite a bit of research.
Turns out they aren't very brignt at night, especially on roads without streetlights (which is quite rare, but still...) and that they're hopeless when it rains. Also they're illegal, and they have a pretty short life (~1yr) due to the blue coating on the actual bulb. Basically the bulb is just for 'show' and apparantly isn't very useful at night, which beats the whole purpose of headlights. So that's it, I'm gonna stick to my Narva 50+ for another year and may get extreme vision next year.
In the mean time I'm thinking about getting 'angel eyes' but does anyone know if any retailers in Sydney sell them? A few guys are selling them on e-bay. Any idea how much it would cost to install them?
WOW $116?! you might as well buy a proper HID kit.
Yeah maybe HID's that are rated at 3000K but I doubt it'll be whiter than say 5000k onwards.Quote:
"DiamondVision is even whiter than Xenon HID lights".
Any HID kit designed with H-type HID bulbs is not "proper". Proper HIDs use D-type bulbs.
Thanks for your input guys. But aren't HID's illegal in NSW?
Nope, HID's aren't illegal if your car originally comes with them from factory. (E.g. Accord V6 Lux, Accord Euro Lux, Legend, S2000, etc...)
Or if you get them specifically engineered (with cert) to include proper housing, auto-leveling and washers.
