I have used three pairs of Philips Extreme Vision. I must say I like its spread and tint but bugged with its short life of around 10 months. |

Hi Rambo1o1, If you do not mind, could you please share the information about how much it costs to do this upgrade?. I have older model of H City and I am looking to go for similar setup in Bangalore. Thanks. |

Even I heard same thing, but I did not try it. Had spent around 2700Rs. for Philips Extreme vision. That life that I quoted is for 80-90% of city drive. If someone do lots of night drive then I think life will become even shorter. |

I dont know if this short life problem is with Xtreme vision only. I used a pair of Xtreme power for 2 years before one of the bulbs conked off! I have switched over to xtreme vision a couple of weeks back. Fingers crossed. |

The life in Philips Xtreme Power is about 2 years. And almost always, the Right Upper beam will conk off before the Left. I guess since most of the usage is of the Upper, its prone to go bust sooner. My Honda City used to have the Xtreme power and the right one blew. I kept the left spare, and recently upgraded my TVS Wego with this bulb. Worked wonders and good till it lasts. My reports about Xtreme Vision indicate that it has a lower life than Xtreme Power. |

The Philips bulbs costed 310 for a pair. the minda kit costed about 727, plus 100 bucks for fitting since i bought the the bulbs from outside!! total:1137 rupees. The roots kit was cheaper than the Minda one but sadly that particular shop was giving no warranty.Goa sucks for automotive stuff!:Frustrati The honda service guys are quite accommodating here in Goa, they dont mind aftermarket stuff, no threatening with warranty void and stuff like that. |

Well.. In my case it was the left low beam that conked off. Even I am planning to put the other working bulb to my bike |

But as far I have seen the Philips XV has better spread than the NB+. So it is better suited for the low beam in case of a multi barrel headlamp. I think it is a problem of original vs. fake bulbs. Now-a-days the Philips XV has a lot of fake / China made bulbs in the market. It is difficult to judge which one is original, and you have to rely on the reputation of the spare part shop. |

Hello, I want to buy one (single) regular OEM quality H7 bulb for my Laura low beam. Any idea where I can get it and what it should cost?... |

Between, Nightbreakers are NOT the same as a crystal vision / Diamond vision - they have genuine higher output unlike the latter! For both crystal / diamond vision, the output will be 55W where as Nightbreaker gives close to a 100W output. Nightbreaker also has two different tinges for high & low beams, one white & the other yellow - NO blue tinges. :) |

Incidentally, when I checked last Vicky.in was selling single bulbs. |
