Why buy me?


Philips WhiteVision sidelight bulbs are designed for drivers who are looking to improve the styling of their vehicles.

The ordinary sidelight has a yellow colour when illuminated. This is because a standard halogen lamp is being used. Philips WhiteVision has a blue coating on the lamp which means when illuminated it removes the tradiitonal yellow colour and replaces it with a crisp, white light.

Features and benefits


  • Sidelight bulbs
  • Blue coated light
  • Fully road legal
  • UV friendly
  • Improved vehicle styling
  • Philips European quality

Bought the led version and these to try them out due to other poor quality lights bought elsewhere. Enough said!! Got these for my number plate and I have to say a nice bright warm white light that def lights the plate better than before. I would def buy again but let’s hope they last a decent length of time.

The bulbs are of high quality and they have the same brightness as the oem but they are not as white as you might want. Personally, I was expecting to see a big difference to the color but it was slightly less yellowish than the original bulbs. The next time I will try other brands in order to find something "whiter"

Seems fine and matches the colour temperature of the Philips Xtreme Vision Moto lamp installed at the same time. This is important because mixing lamp colour temperatures is almost as bad as those blue lights folk put in Vauxhall Corsas.

Wouldn't really say "intense" white light, it is slightly brighter on my license plate however its still not what I expected, would recommend spending a little more on a decent set of bright bulbs.

these bulbs give the vehicle a larger profile on a duller day, instead of being a pale yellow you get a perfect crisp, white light. Great investment.

These bulb are great! For years I thought the orange / yellow tint of my Middle (side) light as it was the same fixture used to house the indicator light. How wrong was I. This bulb delivers a pure white glow with no orange yellow tint. I will buy these again and recommend them as an upgrade even if you don't need to change your bulb.

I bought these PHILIPS White Vision (up to 4500k) because I wanted to replace my W5W OSRAM Cool Blue Intense (up to 4000k) to have a whiter light. As I compared both, I noticed the OSRAM are much whiter. Don't get fooled!

I received these bulbs just over a month ago and I have to say I am very happy with the result, I was never expecting for them to be completely white due to the fact they are halogen bulbs but they deliver a nice white light that looks a lot better than the stock ones. I got these ones because one of the bulbs wasn't working and I can't wait to get my low beams upgraded as well, although I have to wait till they stop working, but I think I would go for the crystal vision, just a tiny bit whiter than the white vision.

The bulbs are fine, and will probably last for ages, but Philips calling them "Xenon effect" is exaggerated as they are nowhere near the Xenon colour.
