Ultimate buyer’s guide - Comparison TEST - PHILIPS HID Bulbs Presented by HID CONCEPT LAB

We receive countless phone calls, emails, messages, etc... from customers everyday asking what bulb would be the best.
Well, it really depends on what's most important to you; brightness, color, or combination of both.
Some customer cares most about brightness without caring about color being yellowish, white, or blueish.
Some others DO care about color as well as brightness.
There are also customers who do not care about brightness but best looking color.
Unfortunately, there is more than one option and choice is yours.
Seeing is believing!
Our HID CONCEPT lab conducted comparison tests on all Philips HID bulbs; 4300K OEM Stock, X-tremeVision Gen2, WhiteVision Gen2, Ultinon 6000K.
See which looks best to what you are trying to get.
Use this as reference guide only since lighting result may differ vehicle to vehicle (vehicles use differently designed headlamps, ballast, etc... that may give different lighting result) and also may look different depending on your monitor setting, screen type, etc…
Below are summary of 4 bulbs we tested.
85415C1 - 4300K OEM; You can’t go wrong with OEM featuring lowest price, reliable quality. The only downside is the color not being clean white.
85415XV2C1 - 4800K with up to 150% more brightness compared to OE (about 60-70% more brightness in reality); with 4800K, color of light is slightly whiter compared to stock OE bulb and it gives the most brightness compared to others. The downside is the color not being as white as other bulbs available such as 5000K, 6000K, etc…
85415WHV2C1 - 5000K with up to 120% more brightness compared to OE (about 50-60% more brightness in reality); featuring 5000K clean white color with up to 120% more brightness is the most popular option. The downside is that color is just 5000K and may dissatisfy some customers who are expecting color to contain a bit of blueish hue.
85415WXX2 - 6000K with less light output compared to OE; This is one of our favorite color temp bulbs but its downside is its lower lumens compared to stock.

*** Please note that All bulbs we used for comparison tests were in NEW (not broken-in) condition. Please do not compare any of these bulbs to your old bulb because all HID lights do discolor to get bluer/whiter color over usage with decrease in visibility performance.
