Improving car bulbs with upgrade headlight bulbs

Car bulbs can be upgraded to achieve a few different types of enhancement.

The first and most obvious headlight bulb upgrade is to improve the light output as much as possible. The top of the range bulbs in this category are the Osram Nightbreakers and the Philips Xtreme Power bulbs. These will both offer up to 90% more light than a standard bulb.

The second option is styling. With the addition of Xenon gas and a blue coating to the bulbs, it is possible to create a much whiter light output than the standard yellow looking bulbs. The best of the branded ones for this are the Philips Blue Visions. However the most striking upgrades and best value for money are the Extreme white bulbs by Autobulbs Direct.

The final option to think about is the economical side of things. Philips are leading the way on this with their new Eco Vision bulbs which use 20% less energy to help reduce the fuel consumption and emissions. They are also 10% brighter and last twice as long as a standard bulb.

No is the simple answer to this. The technology they use in these bulbs often requires an upgraded filament which ensures the same or better life. For example the life expectancy on Renault car bulbs is about 350-400 hours. The life expectancy of the Osram Nightbreakers are about 400-450 hours.
