[Accord]

Dun wori, just sharing info which I know:) By the way, think most of Philips dealers carry it according to the guy at the carnival sales, as for prices, not very sure..hehe

[Synergic]

I brought the GT Power2Night bulb from Philips Carnival at $40.

 

The sale person said this is the replacement for vision plus.

 

Is it true?

[Accord]

It the upgraded version , with the plus point of vision plus comes with nicer look whether the bulb is on/off..

[Toalson]

Yup just got the power2night from philips at $40, if with installation its around 42 Was at Pin Liang to check out the Osram cool blue and sliverstar then saw they have the power2night and got them instead.

 

Its bright cant remember how much brighter than original VP as my last set of VP oredi blown for quite some time and was on std type.

Hi Bros..sorry to side-track a bit..but still on the same note on lights.. I noticed after installing the new bosch plus white (4000K) lights, my sidelights (the small bulbs by the side of the main headlights) are more yellow as compared to the Bosch main lights. Any bros got recommendations on whiter sidelights ? And if the sidelights are whiter.. is it still LTA compliant? I saw some cars out there who just turn on the sidelights and the fog lights..their sidelights seems very whitish...

hi bro u mean installation add another $2 or add another $42???

 

So the power2night is replacement for VP, with brighter light at a cheaper price??? Got 2 free small bulbs or not

[Uplinkhack]

actually i also wanna know about it haha but what's a Xenon effect? Super white light ah? or blue..

[Mazda323]

yea man...i thought of changing it... coz my current bulb is those cheapo white light..not bright at all...

[Josephteo]

Personally i think those white "Xenon" effect lights like Philips Crystal Vision, Diamond Vision... it is really white (color temperature above 4300K) and looks like those Xenon lights...but the problem is, it is not as bright (lumens brightness ratings not high enough) as the real HID Xenon types (which has very high lumens brightness rating). So if you buy those white ones (usually not LTA compliant coz it is more than 4000K color temperature) yes, you'll have the look..but not the effective brightness on the roads.

 

I've noticed for myself already, coz i saw those cars with the white lights (e.g. Philips DV) on the road... doesn't have much brightness..but very white light though...

 

So it all boils down whether u want the look, or the effectiveness... as for Power2night.. i'm not sure.. but if it is replacement of philips Vision Plus..then it should be good..but still yellowish..

 

just my own opinion.

[Uplinkhack]

err but then how come its called cool blue when its white ah? isn't it suppose to be blue in color..

[Josephteo]

hmm.. i guess you can call it whitish blue... correct me if i'm wrong but the color temperature affects the color of the lights... so below 4000K is yellow... then 4000K towards 6000K is white then 6000K onwards is blue...

 

Also, note that for example the Philips Blue Vision.. it is 4000K..it is not blue as stated..it is more yellowish white... but the bulbs have a blue-ish coating thing..think the same for the cool blue.

 

My current headlights is Bosch Plus White..but it is also 4000K .. more yellowish white..but if u look at the headlights from certain angle..you can see blue coz the bulbs have a blue quartz glass..think the purpose is to remove the yellow to give a more white-ish look..

No its not extreme, it power2night. Extreme is marketed to be even brighter.

[Toalson]

bro wanna check, is the osram cool blue really like wad they said..got the xeon effect?

Sorie didnt get the cool blue, but believe its the same league as the diamond vision. And their next higher range, the hyper and xxx (cant remember) is not street legal and their bulb is blue in color.

[Toalson]

hi bro u mean installation add another $2 or add another $42???

 

So the power2night is replacement for VP, with brighter light at a cheaper price??? Got 2 free small bulbs or not

 

It was actually selling at $45+ and I asked for discount and she say $42. Then after which she asked me where's my car, I told her I install myself then she immediate say give me at $40

 

And there isnt any pole bulbs included in the package.
