I know there's been a lot of threads on bulbs lately, especially the Philips BlueVision, and I apologize in advance. However, I went down to the local parts store and was all set to pick up a pair of BVs (thanks Shing) when I noticed bulbs marked "Philips High Visibility" on the rack next to them, both in 9004. Has anyone tried these? I would think that without the coating they would give slightly more light, but I don't know how much usable light that is.

Weasel, I have them on my 99 MAX. They definitely are brighter then stock and the beam pattern is wider and farther. Definitely, a good upgrade for the headlights.

Damn, this thread is really old! 
(I actually do appreciate the response though)

I bought the Vision Plus H4 bulbs from someplace in the U.K.. Much whiter than stock, overall range is better too. Good deal for my sake at $28 shipped.

I'm glad a 5th gen owner finally tried these.....they sound like they toast the Blue Visions and any other "actual functional use" headlight......

The HighVisibilty bulbs I believe are the Premiums. BlueVisions are basically Premiums coated with the light blue paint that provides the whiter light.

I've ran both of those lights
Hey guys,
I am currently running the Vision Plus bulbs....I ordered both the Blue Visions and Visions Plus from www.powerbulbs.com and I started with the Blue bulbs cause I wanted the look...I switched to the Vision Plus's after a week and haven't switched back...The Vision Plus's were just a better light
The bulbs are cheap from www.powerbulbs.com and they ship for free anywhere in the world!! Plus, they shipped them fast, too...Only took a week to get to my house in the US from the UK
