protection to prevent accidents by increasing
overall visibility and road illumination.

ECE homologation
Philips automotive products and services are
considered best in class in the Original
Equipment Manufacturer market and the
aftermarket. Manufactured from high-quality
products and tested to the highest
specifications, our products are designed to
maximise the safety and comfort of our
customers' driving experience. Our entire
product range is thoroughly tested, controlled
and certified (ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and QSO
9000) to the highest ECE requirements. Put
simply, this is quality you can trust.
High-quality quartz glass
UV-quartz glass is stronger than hard glass and
highly resistant to temperature extremes and
vibrations, which eliminates the risk of
explosion. Philips quartz-glass lamps (filament
2 650ºC and glass 800ºC) are able to
withstand severe thermal shock. With the
capability of increased pressure inside the
lamp, UV-quartz glass is able to produce a
more powerful light
Resistance to humidity
Only a burning bulb made of quartz glass
(filament 2650°c, glass 800°c) can resist
thermal shocks: if a drop of cold water touches
the hot bulb, which can happen when you
drive through water with a broken headlight
unit.
