automotive lighting 11258XUX2 X-tremeUltinon LED car Headlight Bulb (H1), 5.800K, Set of 2

These LED Headlight bulbs were to replace my Xenon HID Retrofits, the bulb and inverter quality on HID has become so unreliable i thought LED was worth trying. Boy was i glad i did, as to be expected with a brand like Phillips the build of the bulbs and drivers are very well constructed second to none. Provided you have space in the headlight housing they are quite simply to fit and they do fit very well and tight in the holders (Note - if you have a Canbus system you may need dedicated wiring or resistors to stop flickering or bulb out errors) I have made my own headlight loom I used for the HIDs and run relays for the lights so no issues. These bulbs give instant full light with no start up delay and an outstanding beam pattern both in width and length far superior to Halogen and even my Xenons, the light colour is pure white no Blue, and to be honest blue light on tarmac black roads is rubbish so these are perfect, driving at night is now a real pleasure. I do not expect any issues with MOT testers as to be honest they would have no idea they are led you cannot see the bulbs in the projector lights and the beam tests perfectly on a beam tester. Highly recommended

I installed the “previous iteration” 4000k bulbs in my Jaguar XF. They were difficult to install, but amazing - very bright. After 12 months, one of the led’s failed (fan was still spinning) - so much for the 12 year claim. I decided to try again with the new 6000k bulbs. I’m happy to report that they are noticeably brighter than the previous ones. “Classic Car LED’s” on e-bay have the correct adapter clips for the XF. There are TWO different types, one for dipped beam, and one for main beam. I used Loctite epoxy metal adhesive to glue the clips to the underside of the bulbs “header-ring”. Result is a very crisp white light that illuminates the road even better than the previous version (which was already pretty good).

A right fiddle to fit, would recommend professional fitting as the heat sink fan gets in the way of the bulb retaining clip and is a real pain on installation. Light distribution is similar to my old halogen bulbs but much whiter and slightly brighter. Drove home from work, first journey and wasn't "flashed" by oncoming traffic. Beam pattern close to factory halogen arrangement but don't expect floodlights, just a slight improvement in light output. 👍

I am using these LEDs in a reflector headlight tipe. The brightness is significantly better than any halogen lamps. The shape of the projected light is very close to the ideal one, in both headlights. The color of the light is very refreshing for me and helps me to stay focused. It doesn't make me tired while driving extended periods in dark conditions. The bulbs are running significantly cooler than halogen and in snowing weather the headlights can easily get covered with snow, compared to halogen bulbs that are warm enough to melt any ice or snow laid on the headlights. The fans are quiet and not too large. The only significant downside of these LEDs is related to the fans though. While running the LEDs, the radio is altered by electromagnetic interference induced by the running cooling fans. I also used Philips Ultinon Essential, 17W, with no cooling fans, and they induce no noise to the car radio. Their brightness is still satisfying and much better than halogen bulbs. I used ferrite chokes on the headlight wires, but the interference was only slightly reduced. I asked some friends to drive toward me from the opposite side and with correctly adjusted headlights they were not bothered by my incoming LED lights. In the attached pictures you can see the comparison between Philips Ultinon Extreme (25 W) and Essential (17 W) LEDs

These bulbs are expensive but they are very good! They are easy to install but they do have a bit of additional baggage at the back so make sure you have the space to fit them. As far as the light they emit — it’s excellent! I have them fitted to reflector lamps and they work really well. They are not a ball of light like what you get with cheaper bulbs.

Product was good, but when 2 sets broke, the warranty was useless. If these break, you won't get your money back or a replacement set. I have provided the proof of purchase and photos as philips requested but they are still not providing a replacement. I've reported them and let them know of this, yet they still won't help and just keep going in circles asking for different photos etc. Warranty is of no value whatsoever.

I fitted these LED bulbs to my Range Rover Evoque as the standard halogens are borderline dangerous. Very easy fitment and the adjustable body means you can get a perfect beam alignment. The brightness is excellent (there are some LED bulbs that are much brighter) but the Phillips give the best beam alignment and spread. Expensive but you get what you pay for....

They have made a difference to B-roads at night, The standard bulbs have always been a concern me for my 2009 Jaguar XFS 3.0 since changing the standard bulbs out to the Phillips gen2 LED car Headlight Bulb (H7). My B-road night driving feels a lot safer I can’t say if you will notice the difference driving in urban areas due to street lighting and other sources of light. they are UK LEGAL i had my MOT this year 2020 passed no problem and they do make a difference. If you have a Jag or any other mark for that matter I would suggest that you check your setup at the rear of your headlights as the clip that holds the standard bulbs in place is different to the Phillips gen2 LED car Headlight Bulb (H7) I had to buy to 2 types of adapters for main and low beam as both are H7 to hold them in place I was able to buy both clips from Classic Car LEDs Ltd. They are easy to fit just take your time and then stand back and see the difference they make.

Prodotto ben realizzato, inizialmente non avevo illuminazione ottimale poi dopo aver corretto un difetto nel faro che ne pregiudicava il funzionamento, il risultato è stato decisamente ottimale. Ho quindi modificato la precedente recensione.

Es todo lo que esperaba, las uso en altas en carretera de noche, en tramos de penumbra, la vision es muy buena, mucho mejor que con xenon o halogenos. Tal vez hay mejores pero no quize arriesgar con marcas raras y no me decepcionaron. Muy buenos

Qualitativamente superbe non paragonabili a kit di brand sconosciuti tanto presenti su Amazon, cablaggi e centraline a tenuta stagna, connettori antistrappo, insomma la qualità si paga sempre. una bazzecola regolare due viti a brugola (compresa) per settare il fascio luminoso correttamente a seconda del tipo di automobile, non si può sbagliare perché sopra la lampadina sono incisi i gradi per far questo. Nel mio caso l'auto era una Yaris del 2016. Ovviamente anche Philips eccede con la percentuale luminosa direi che non si tratta sicuramente del 250% come massimo, ma a mia opinione siamo a circa il doppio della luminosità delle lampadine alogene Che ha la Yaris di serie. Appagante il lato estetico accoppiando, come nel mio caso luci di posizione a LED con temperatura colore paragonabile, quindi circa 6000k. Infine vorrei segnalare che data la conformazione del faro Yaris o anche C-HR la lampada fa da guarnizione E quindi non permette alla polvere o altro di entrare all'interno del faro come avviene per altri modelli di lampadina o faro di altre auto.

Acostumbrado a una luz muy mala de mi vehículo este cambio ha sido increíble, el problema es que hay que instalar del modulo electrónico dentro del faro y no vale para todos los vehículos. Yo las he instalado en un Ssangyong Rexton II

I paid extra hoping to get the best quality product. BIG MISTAKE! First bulb burned out in just ONE year, another one in two years from purchase date. Almost $500 CAD altogether with taxes, delivery fee and CANBUS adapter (MUST be purchased) for a set of 2 bulbs? That's insane! Totally disappointed...
