Not

I have Sylvania Cool Blues on my car and wanted to do the same. I found what DOESN'T match are APC Superwhites. These look more icy blue than white.

Where did you get your Phillips Bluevisions.....Do they really put more light on the road?..If you have had other xenons or hyperwhites what is your opinion of the Phillips versus those?? I think those of us looking for quality xenons or hypers would appreciate your opinion.

Search the internet, look at websites. Bah. Nothing will give you better light in the stock housing with stock wiring. If you want light, keep the stock bulbs in, anything else is for show.

I got my Phillips Bluevisions at my local k-mart store for $25. I am happy with them, they are much better than the stock bulbs. I haven't had any of the other lights, but I am real pleased with my Phillips.

Yeah, like ngthing said, no one bulb (aside, perhaps for an actual HID conversion) will give you better light transmission. It's really all in the housing itself. Or to be exact, the reflectivity of the surface of the housing. Just my $0.02 worth.

Yeah, that's probably true if you don't use a high wattage bulb and upgrade the wiring harness. I have the wiring harness upgrade and I know I have heard others say they that they do get more light with the harness upgrade and a good hyperwhite bulb. I'm still trying to find a bulb that will give you a good white and not too much blue. I bought the 80w/100w Hiper Industries Xenon bulbs. They are really bright and they do provide more light than my stock bulbs but they have way more blue than I want.

WTF are u talking about? I have the Hiper Industries bulbs and they have NO blue in them, none, nothing, zero! You will not find any bulb which is whiter. Seriously, how in the world do you see blue coming from those lights? I actually want something that has a little blue in them. Hiper's, I think, are too white.

Yellow is the best for light, white light won't do you any good. Stock is the best unless you upgrade your wiring harness, then you can get some brighter normal halogens.

For all of you with Hiper white, Xenon white, etc, etc: none of these bulbs provide better lighting than stock lighting. White and blue light is the worst light possible for a car, try to drive at night in the rain, and you'll see how bad it is. I use a high wattage bulb with an upgraded wiring harness, the light is really bright, but does nothing in aiding me with my sight. If you want more light, you need the yellowish halogens. I have my lights because I think it looks cool, and my foglights help fill in where my headlights are lacking. Don't be fooled by these companies who advertise better light.
