Economical choice
Thanks to its single lamp replacement
technology Xenon Vision allows you to change
your bulbs one by one while matching the
colour temperature of the unchanged lamp. It is
the most economical choice for lamp
replacement.
Original Xenon technology
Xenon HID (High Intensity Discharge) lamps
offer twice as much light for safer driving in all
conditions. As a matter of fact, the intense
white light produced by the Xenon HID lamps
is comparable to daylight. Studies have
demonstrated that xenon automotive lighting
helps drivers to concentrate on the road and to
distinguish obstacles and road signs much
faster than traditional lamps.
Single-lamp replacement
Philips Xenon Vision replaces a single burnt-
out lamp while matching the colour of the
unchanged one. Its new single-lamp
replacement technology allows for one-by-one
replacement while still matching the colour
temperature of the unchanged lamp. Thus,
Xenon Vision is the perfect solution for single-
lamp replacement.
UV Resistant
Philips special anti-UV coating technology
protects the headlights against harmful
ultraviolet radiation, making Philips UV-coated
quartz glass perfect for all driving conditions
and ensuring their longevity
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 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 can
resist thermal shocks, such as a drop of cold
water touching the hot bulb, which can happen
when you drive through water with a broken
headlight unit.
