Philips WeatherVision LED car headlight bulb (H7/H18), ultra-compact direct-fit, Halogen color match, easy install, LED performance, 3500K, set of 2

Just now received this Philips Ultinon H8 20W cool white LED and self replaced old 35 W Halogen bulbs for DRL (Angel Eye) in my 2011 BMW X1. Just two minutes it took to replace. Perfect fit, perfect bright light in socket ring, and cool honey yellow colour in outer ring. So far no error message/light on dashboard even after three times restarting the car. Overall fantastic product for BMW DRL. No complexity of polarity, no canbus requirement. A straightforward plug and play bulb! Anyways I need to wait for few days to check the performance.

Good quality

Since last 3-4 years, I was searching for a 4200K fan-less LED headlight. So, that I can put dust cover without altering it and keep my headlamp free from dust & water. I don't like cool-white due to poor visibility in rainy season. I was dreaming when would Philips or Osram make a fan-less Warm-White LED. I could find fan-less led as well as warm-white LED, but not combination of both. Few weeks back, I decided to go for OSRAM 4200K LED, just added to cart. Later, I saw the Instagram post about PHILIPS 3500K LED and purchased it. I am thankful to Philips for fulfilling my dream. Even it size is similar to halogen bulb, it comes with a smaller cooling fan and copper cooling tube. Pros: -Since fan is too small, you need not have to cut the dust cap for Maruthi vehicles. -As others said it lights brighter than standard halogen bulb. -Warm white 3500K really help in poor whether condition compare to 6500K. -It just 20W + 20W compare to 65W + 65W halogen. -Even it size is similar to halogen bulb, it comes with a tiny cooling fan and copper cooling tube. Cons: -Yes, its over priced. It would be better if its under 3K Rupees. -Not sure about durability as Philips claims 1500hrs lifespan. -Not recommended for those who want high brightness. Those who want, same model with 65K(cool white) is available. -Light appearance would be better, if it has 4200K instead of 3500K color. But I know that it would compromise the visibility in poor whether condition. Recommendation: If your dust cap is too old or melted, it's better to use a new one or clean dust cap before you install it. You may apply Vaseline on the dust cap hole to insert the cap smoothly.

Not much difference than 50w halogen bulbs

Little overpriced but yes since it's direct fit like stock bulb and I haven't driven car on highway after fitting it. In city driving it's visibility seems better than stock bulb but very poor in night during rainy condition and also while facing yellow light vehicles on roads without dividers. About reliability and life as mentioned 1500 hrs let's see how long it lasts.

Awesome LED for upgrading as safe on wiring as the wattage is 20W each bulb, which is under the capacity of 60/55W of halogen. The manual guides how to position the bulb so do check it before installing it as it makes sure that the light does not blinds the oncoming traffic and gives the most output from your headlight reflectors. The other options are not positioned properly like your old halogen for which the light body is made for and this Philips LED is the most accurate positioning in comparison of other brands.

Excellent bulbs with very bright and white lights, illuminating the path very clearly (I am using them on my Kawasaki ZX10R) and very straightforward and easy fitment without any modification, saves battery as well.

I got it for my polo 2018 model. As it say its direct fitting no additional couplers or accessories needed. Works fine and is little bit brighter than halogen.
