Maximum safety an
d visibility
Xenon X-tremeVision provides
 you with a 
better reactivity thanks to earlier recognition 
of obstacles and traffic signs. Light is a 
fundamental part of the driving experience and 
light is the first and only part of the safety circle 
that actually helps prevent accidents. Philips 
promotes active safety protection to prevent 
accidents by increasing overall visibility and 
road illumination; as a matter of fact the 
4800 K colour temperature increases the 
vi
sual comfort.
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.
Up to 50% more vision
Xenon X-tremeVision lamps are engineered 
w
ith Philips Xenon technology for ultimate 
performance. Producing a longer beam, Xenon 
X-treme vision helps you to see obstacles 
earlier and improves the side perception. By 
producing even more light, Xenon X-treme 
vision lamps satisfy the most demanding 
drivers while maintaining their high Original 
Equipment quality and superior performance.
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 
res
ist 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.
