Changing OEM Halogen bulbs with something else!

[Ibn Najd]

I've changed them to Philips CrystalVision Ultra (Philisp says: they are the closest to the bright blue/white look of HID!!!)
CrystalVision Ultra

I found it at ebay for US$ 37
~AUTHORIZED DEALER~ Philips Crystal Vision 9005 Bulbs | eBay

Got it

Results were not as expected

After

Generally speaking, they are a bit better than OEM but not as supposed to be; not that white, not close to HID Xenon, not the best Halogen bulb I guess!

Unless they're a higher wattage, bulbs with colored glass will actually be dimmer. If you don't want to do an HID retrofit, HIR bulbs will actually give you more lumens.
