Getting Philips Vision Plus

[Alyc]

I can vouch for bro Virus... AMK NTUC is selling Osram Silverstar for about $40 if I'm not wrong... it's together with all the Osram household bulbs hanging from the shelfabove 1.6m from the ground... so remember to look more in the middle of the shelf coz i nearly missed it too.

 

I've decided to go for VP... what's the best price now ah... anybody? Stamford Tyres also selling $45 for a pair... same as autobacs...

 

Thanks for the confirmation! Anyway decided to go for VP.

 

FYI, Stamford Macpherson sell H7 for $40 a pair plus installation. But H7 out of stock. The rest are in.

Thanks for the map! Will check them out... else maybe will try concorde (super near my workplace).

Haven't tried Osram Silver... did hear that it's equivalent to Philips VP though. Not too sure how true it is, but read in some forums that Osrams sometimes dim after a while (maybe due to batch issue?)... so decided to go for VP instead.

 

If you're interested in Silverstar... think you can check out the forum @ singaporebikes... think some dude can get it for $30... (no installation provided though)...

Last time they quoted me $30 for VP with install. Not sure about the price now. I'm not related to them in anyway. Just that I find they give good price. Service wise you have to find out yourself

 

Thanks mate.

I now using VP for >2 years & they r much dimmer then when I 1st installed. Cost me abt $32/pr for H4 that time.

 

SV might b better cos they r newer technology but I might b wrong.

 

Anyway no harm trying as VP is getting too ex. Maybe cos they r getting more popular.

 

When they 1st came out, Tye Soon was selling only $24/pr. Only double the price of normal halogen bulbs.

Was chatting with a friend and he mentioned SV as well... heard it's quite good?

 

It's definitely brighter and better throw than stock... but not too sure how it matches up against the VP.

For those who are interested, I just called the local Philips distributor today and according to them, X'teme Power will be available in the last quarter.

Bro, any idea what's X'treme Power's color temp, and whether it comes with HB3/HB4 packaging?

More info @ http://www.nam.lighting.philips.com/us/aut...xtremepower.php

Couldn't find the specs to show what's the color temp for X'treme Power.

Need to check if it'll be a good replacement for CV.

By the way, did you hear anything on whether the disty will bring in CV Ultra as well?

===================

 

I don't mind trying when my present VP fails but they don't want to blow leh.

 

I even still have my normal halogen bulbs on "stand-by" when I changed to VP >2 years back. I was thinking of putting them back when the VP blows.

Great. Any idea what's the cost per pair?

Another interesting bulb I saw on this website was "NightGuide".

 

Any idea if the dealer is bringing this in also & how much he selling it for?

[Notyetz]

Seems like VP quite lasting...

 

Trying to find out how many lumens is SV and compare it against VP... seems like not much info on SV...

 

I saw the X-treme bulbs on powerbulbs uk... i think price is about $70 after conversion and shipping... not too sure how much SG philips will sell the bulb for... or if it's even LTA compliant...

[Pisces69]

My VP was very well installed as I watched the guy do it. Most important is to prevent any oil/dirt from touching the bulb glass.

 

I saw a website on the SV last time. Seems they r connected to Philips & this is a similar product. Quality wise I have no idea cos I dont know anybody who has used them.

If their price is lower, then can get SV instead of VP.

 

If X-treme is very much better then VP( they claim 80% brighter whereas VP is 50% brighter), then I might consider paying $70. After all if they last >2-3 years, I think it's OK.

 

It they r EU compliant, then automatically it wil b LTA approved.

Just ordered the Xtreme power H7s from powerbulbs UK.

 

Takes 2-14 days to deliver. Will keep everyone updated on the performance once installed

[Pisces69]

What's the cost?

 

Can share the website. Thanks.
