I'm also looking for one and have been researching for some time. As a rule of thumb, the higher the ratings (e.g 5000k) the whiter it is and the shorter the throw. THis is because the bulb filter out the yellow portion retaining the white portion which can't shine far. My

friend who changed to HID (illegal) damn bright but he say during raining can't see sxxt.. That's why he never change his fog lights to white so that he can see during rain. My recommendation is philips crystal vision which is 4300k which is pretty white with a bit of yellow.

Hi Junyi,

white light is allow to be on the road just that 'they' expect us to cheange it back to yellow light when we go for inspection. Anyway you just got your new car, so thatz mean your nxt inspection will be 3 years later lor.

If you looking for approval bulbs, currently only Vision Plus, BlueVision, SilverVision from Philips, those from Osram & Borsh.

It really depend on what you expect & whaich types of light output you want, If you want something white, only Diamond Vision could meet your reqirement or CrystalVision which gives you a nicer look & same time gives you the normal light output. If not, Vision Plus will give you 50% more light then your OEM bulb.

FYI: XtremePower will be coming in last quater according to the Philips Distributor in Singapore, it gives you 80% more light output,WoW...VERY BRIGHT.

Only HID could give you the colour Temperature which you wants & same time the brightness, If your car headlamp comes with projector lamps then it ok for you to install it but max with 6000k only, those with 8000k or even 10000k all will be very obvious to attract the ROV to stop you.

Hi Bros,

 

I just went to check out the Bosch H4 4000K bulbs yesterday and was quoted $55.00 (I think with installation). Is that reasonable? or am i being "chopped" haha..

 

Any bros out there have install the Phillips H4 type? can tell me roughly how much (with installation)? The guy at the shop told me Phillips one more expensive. But I didn't ask how much coz I was there with my cousin to install new car horn.

Hi Joseph,

 

That should be the Bosch market price for it, dun worry. As for the price for Philips, should be around the price for BlueVision to which is oso 4000k. [wave]

When i went to take a look yesterday, the boxes on the bulbs all have the LTA approved sticker. Just check again with the boss to confirm that they are LTA approved. Then you won't get caught. But if you install HID lights on car models not designated for it. You will get stopped. Confirmed and checked. :P

 

Oh..and one more question.. can my 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer take the diamond vision bulbs (H4)? Any bros know?

Hi Junyi, I sure the ROV nowsaday dun care abt white lights fitted in our cars unless it other colours such as blue or even HID lor, as for the place which you had mention, they are not the distributor since 2003 if not wrong. For H4DV, the retail price is $90 correct. [wave]

Hi Bro, those stickers are xtra, all of us know that if the colour temperature falls below 4000k, all are approved. No meaning for it to be there. [laugh]

So sorry for the very late reply...

 

Received the bulbs around 2 weeks back before went to answer the call of the nation...

 

RESERVICE! [shakehead] So didn't get to go online.

 

The bulbs are definitely much brighter and had a further throw than my stock. But the illumination was not evenly spread, most likely due to my headlamps design. [rifle]

 

I have not tried VP before, so can't comment on the improvement if any.

 

Bros interested can give it a try. But those hoping the get close to HID brightness and spread can give it a miss. It's still far from it. [:/]

 

Bro, how's the color like?

Amber-like, or blue/whitish?

I don't think any of the halogen ones are 6000k. Diamondvision is closest to white and its about 5000k. Too bad its so darn dim.

 

4000K bulbs like Bluevision are just slightly less yellow than stock, they still clearly look yellowish to the eye.

 

Bulbs like Crystalvision at 4500k are nearly white and I think have the best balance between cosmetics and function.

 

Best if u can find a place to actually test the bulbs.
