I JUST Installed Philips Blue Vision....
It's just.....different than what i expected......

Are they suppose to be white/blue?? because mine is not blue at all... In fact the color is not much different than my stock....
I thought it's gonna be white or somewhat blue....
and....
They're not way brighter than my stock.....I installed the right side first and then turn the lights on for comparison...
can't really see the different......

Is there any break in period for this light bulb?
because i'm planning to return this light bulb.......

How is this Philips Blue Vision compared to PIAA?? I understand thatPIAA cost 3-4 times more expensive.....
I saw my friends' PIAA, and it's whiter.........and brighter......

The philips are supposed to be whiter than stock, not blue (the name is misleading). As for difference there should be a slight difference in color (more white) and it should help visibility more.

I have the Piaa superwhites and I don't think they are worth the cost, but I got a great deal. I would consider getting higher wattage bulbs and a wiring harness, it'll be a little more than Piaa's but it'll be worth the cost.

Also are you comparing the same bulb size and housing? Cause I've seen H4 Piaa's and they are awesome compared to stock.
The piaa's may be a little better then the philips, but I don't think that justifies the high cost.

How much is the wiring harness, is it hard to install?
and, where can i get it?

for more wattage bulb, what's considered the best for you all??
keep in mind, I want to have visibility during dark rainy night....

Thank you!!

I use Nokya(sp wrong) Artics H4s and PIAA 1900x fog lights that have a cool yellow color.

Does it matter which nub you shave off? Or are they both the same?

Yes it matters. One is higher than the other. I forgot which one to cut but itz in the this trend some where.
I used some toe nail clippers to cut it off.

I looked but could not find it. So if I get bulbs that are 1156 I just see which one is a higher wattage and cut the lower one?

Actually if your talkin about your parking lights/ clearence lights, they use 1157 which are double filament so they have 2 nipples. The 1156 are single filament so they only have one nipple, which are used for blinkers. I've wondered if you can put a 1156 in there but i'm not sure. I'll have to try it out. but with the 1157 you have to cut the top nipple off then turn the bulb 180 degrees and it will burn at the higher wattage.

SuDZ

yeah according to this thread and others you can use the 1156. Just gotta cut one of the nubs off. Plus they are brighter and give you a better wattage. I think I am off to get some now.
