REVIEW - HID vs PHILLIPS DIAMOND & CRYSTAL VISION

[T-onedc2]

Diamond visions in my projectors are fine for me, alongside other cars at night they certainly look bluer but clearer, I have no comlaints. Is there a government site describing why these aren't considered legal?

bulbs are just waste of money.6000k hid would be reliable.

Australian Design Rules website

I thinking to get Crystal vision for long. Just wondering do I need to remove front bumper to install them? For Accord euro btw.
Thanks.

Ive got an 04 and no its not necessary to remove the front bumper. You just have to unscrew the black seals behind the head lights, unclip that pin thing and replace the bulb. It sounds easy but it is very fiddly - make sure you do it in good light and have good patience!

How did you score HID's for $130 ?

I think the rules just states "white light". How white is white? Stock bulbs seem yellow to me lol

These two bulbs aren't the best Philips has to offer, as myself & DSP26 have both used the top of the range Philips X-Treme Power (+80&#37:-

But if you were after something different from Philips then the Osram Night Breaker (+90%) is the way to go:-

Didn't mean to go off-topic but in the DIY it says Diamond visions are Philips top of the range, so letting people know there's better halogens out there.

I wonder how long the +90% lasts. Osram's +50% only lasted 12 months for me on my stock car. When I had stiffer suspension, they only lasted 7-8 months. On the "bright" side, I managed to score many Osram +50% H1 bulbs for cheap when the local Repco was clearing out their old stock.

There was a review on them & they looked pretty good, maybe you should pick up a set of +90% & try em' out aaronng

I'm still on my crystalvisions. How much are these +90% bulbs? I still have 4 pairs of the +50% to use after the crystalvisions blow. Also have a set of diamondvision that I shouldn't have bought.....

same with all euros. First time is pretty tricky, and for the drivers side you might want to remove the windscreen washer piping.
