Are they legal to use and do I need to modify my vehicle?

Philips Vision Plus are fully road legal. No changes or adaptations need to be made to your vehicle. The bulbs will replace your existing bulbs and are directly interchangeable.

How does the product generate more light when the wattage is standard and are they safe to use on plastic lenses?

The greater light output is achieved by using a mixture of Halogen and Xenon gas. The Xenon gas is more effective than using Halogen alone and produces a brighter, whiter light, without needing to increase the wattage. This means that no extra heat is generated so the bulbs are perfectly safe to use with modern plastic lenses. They are also fully road legal.

Manufacturer's Review

Up to 60% more light on the road

When a driver installs our VisionPlus range of lamps, he/she makes an investment in enhanced driving safety and comfort. Philips VisionPlus halogen lamps produce 60% more light on the road compared with standard lamps. The extra light is measured at a distance of 50 and 75 metres in front of the car. Exactly where the car driver needs more light.

A 10 to 20 metre longer beam

Philips VisionPlus enables you to anticipate road obstacles, decipher traffic signs and see other road users earlier than you might with other headlights. The coupling of up to 60% more light on the road with a 10 to 20 metre longer beam at an average speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) results in extra reaction time of up to a full second. That second that can save lives. With a price that is comparable with standard lamps, this results in the best price/quality ratio available on the market.
