Philips fights back! The Osram Cool Blue Intense series has taken over as the world’s best-performing OEM+ “5000K” HID lamps, but their arch-rival Philips recently introduced the Xtreme Vision series, and a solid competitor they are!

On top of the unbeatable longevity, precision, and performance that all base-model Philips bulbs offer, the XV-C1’s add another few hundred lumens to the bottom line while upping the Kelvin rating to 4800K. Just like the Osram CBI, Philips managed more lumens out of a higher Kelvin bulb.

Just shy of 5000K and north of an OEM 4300K, these will offer you a perfectly white light output without being too stark – giving users the perfect contrast between style and excellent visibility while driving at night. If budget isn’t a major concern, you will not be disappointed.
