I forget the name (and the philips page was no bloody help). The ones I've got are apparently 50% brighter at the same power, and have a blue hue. They're not those ricey neon-like ones though. I used to have frequent Ford OEM light failures as well. Nothing since I switched.Edit: this aint on a BA though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, I remember holding both in my hands I agree though, the light they produce is fantastic.Okay okay, I ran away and checked. I've got Vision Plus!

Just keep replacing them! I've only had foglight blow once (car was delivered new with blown foggie!) and I very rarely use them.The headlight (lowbeam) has blown 3 or 4 times, different sides. Had different brand globes doesn't seem to make a lot of difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting quite proficient at replacing them now. No problem with foggies though.Somebody needs to design a globe that doesn't get destroyed when you get a speck of dust on it!

One would have to think that there is some sort of problem with some BA's electrical system. Some cars blow heaps of globes others dont blow any. Makes you wonder.
