fitted last night and drove to work in the dark this morning
so far I gotta say i'm not impressed

old normal philips bulbs...


"New" HOD bulbs...


the field seems to have changed so much
is it the same for those who fitted them?
although I do have pre-facelift, but still seems strange that the field of light has changed so much

Which could be classed as a good thing.

Can't be as bad as the HID's in my MK5. They didn't last long at all.

I thought they were great. The Phillips I have never tried but imagine they are off putting for on coming drivers

the philips are not off putting at all hence why they won best bulb 2010/2011 and this year/next year will be osram as there new range is very good


also the phillips/osram range give the same pattern as standard bulbs just a clear whiter light

i think i will be putting some other lights back, not the ones I had though as they were too yellow, shame really as I bought 2 sets of HODs

i think it must be the pre-facelift lights cause nobody else has this problem, only thing is they have facelift lights

I think they look better to look at than to see from behind the wheel. Don't think mine seem as bad as the above pictures though. Will take some of my own to compare.

Safe to say my Philips blue visions went back in today and they're much better
