Default Philips VisionPlus +50% Bulbs

I finally decided to do something about the poor stock lighting. I upgraded my heads and fogs with Philips VisionPlus +50% bulbs. So far, very pleased with the color and added light. The light is very white compared to the yellow stockers. I decided on the Philip bulbs because they aren't tinted. Haven't seen them at night because it's freezing here.

Here are a few pics of the lights very close to my garage wall. At least it gives you an idea of the brighter color, if anything. If you notice the headlight in the third picture, they're pretty white. They even look better in person.

I was back and forth about HIDs, but decided this was the way to go for me. I picked up the heads and fogs for $53 shipped. Hopefully I can get some nighttime pics when things warm up.

Yep. Just replacements. I had Silverstars on my 2004 Ram. I like these better.

Great service. Had bulbs in two days.

Mine are H13 (9008) heads. 9006 fogs. I know the heads changed over to H13 (9008) in 2006.

I've been running the phillips +80's for about a year now and have had no problems with them other than the high beams drown out my hellas! Great lights, whenever these one go I'm buying another set.

THE X-Treme +80's are the newest ones. Those are very good.

I could have picked those up for $91 shipped, but felt these where a better value $ wise right now.
