Philips Xtreme Bulbs - Are They Too Bright?

I swerve into oncoming traffic when the opposing car blinds me with POS HID retrofit lights.

I also refuse to move on trail rides when the guy behind me has them on his truck. Last time I stopped in the trail, got out, and yelled for him to turn them off....... BGR

 

Nope

That's why I said "with a manual switch"

Unsuccessfully it appears.





Cool, bonus money to scarf up the LS460s and get legit. I might put them in the fogs and have expensive retro fogs and cheap ass ebay halogen projector headlights..........I know they won't fit, c'mon I'm the derpy color blind ebay certified lighting expert person after all.

 

thats not what he said

DAMN!

 

Tacoma 2? I only see 1 crashed BMW...Fuck, I must be going completely blind, not just colorblind. Now I won't need any kind of lighting
Wait, lemme go run grab the Tequila, then I'll see 2 of them

 

I didn't get picks of the other one. After calling 911 my crackberry goes into emergency mode and wouldn't let me take pics. Now I don't call 911 until after I snap some shots

 

Those Philips bulbs do have a blue tint ring around the top, so they produce some of the "white" light for the xenon-look crowd. But, the ring doesn't cover the whole bulb like it does with Silverstars, so you still get *most* of the benefits of an un-tinted bulb.

The tint filters light out of the filament, so it doesn't go down the road. That's why Silverstars are a bit misleading. The filament puts out more light, but a lot of it is filtered so they aren't really any better than factory bulbs (other than the light is white).

Blue filtering removes more of the useful light than yellow filtering (for some of those "fog" style yellow tint bulbs), so yellow is more useful than blue.

If you prefer white light over more light, then there's nothing to argue about. If you want more light, there are better options than tinted bulbs.
