Philips Diamond Vision is illegal and I'm using it for almost a year. The whitish light looks nice but the throw is not as far as yellowish light. It's ok to use in Singapore as long as u dun get caught cos our street lightnings are bright enough.

 

But gotto be more careful in M'sia when the street lights are not so prominent in certain parts of the road. I drove up to Muar with the Diamond Vision and luckily I was following my friend in front, else I can't see the dark parts of the road unless I on my high beam or foggies.

Dear xxxxx,

 

PHILIPS CRYSTAL VISION H4 BULBS

FEEDBACK NUMBER: 487947

 

We refer to your enquiry of 10/06/2007.

 

We require all designs of vehicle lights to bear approved markings to show that they comply with international standards, such as those adopted in the European Union countries, Japan and the United States. The lights must also conform to their illuminated colour and intensity.

 

We have, in principle, no objection to the use of after-market light bulbs on vehicles so long as such bulbs comply with the above requirements and are suitable for use on the vehicle concerned.

 

We have been approached by Philips to evaluate some of their bulbs. We have no objection to the use of Philips Blue Vision, Silver Vision and Vision Plus bulbs as these models comply with ECE regulation and bear the ECE marking. However, for Philips Diamond Vision and Crystal Vision, we understand that these models do not comply with the internationally recognised standards and therefore do not permit the installation and use of such bulbs on vehicles.

 

With regards to the use of after-market light bulbs that are suitable for your vehicle, you would have to consult the local agents for the aftermarket light bulb models that comply with our requirements.

 

Please note that it is the responsibility of vehicle owners to ensure that their vehicle headlamps are properly aligned after replacing the bulbs so as not to cause glare and distraction to other road users; and that such bulbs do not exceed the wattage rating recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.

 

We hope the above clarifies. Should you require further clarifications, please do not hesitate to contact me at 6553 5444.

 

Thank you.

 

 

Yours sincerely,

I have seen some aftermarket Halogen, which will pass the LTA test. They do not fully coat the Halogen with a blue coating. Instead they leave a tiny gap at the base of the bulb, allowing some 4300kelvin light to pass thru - thus passing the LTA test.

Change to HID for $100+ with a slim Ballast perhaps? The thing is not many installers know how to do focusing/alignment so that the light focus won't be throwing all over the place and blinding other motorists
