In the dark

Look excellent. How much are they?

a pair is £152.45 https://www.amazon.co.uk/PHILIPS-Xenon-X-TremeVision-Bulbs-85415XV2C1/dp/B076BNJ38V

I don't have a problem with them :scratchhead:
My headlights are the directional ones that swivel as you steer.

I don't know if mine are or not. What's the code? 'S563 Light package'?

 

[flybobbie]

I find the light spread short, compared to what I drove before using Xenon

some switched to this https://www.philips.com.au/c-p/85415XV2S1/xenon-x-tremevision-gen2-headlight-bulb and had better experience, I'm stil debating with myself

I fitted those bulbs, they are brighter with resulting in even more sharp cut off.

I would imagine it's 'S524 Adaptive Headlights'

Thanks. Don't have them, then.

but you're happier having them, right?

The Amazon feedback on these Philips isn't brilliant: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B01LZC16ZZ/?cstrackid=4642c4e5-9a29-4cc6-af62-4e568e06e5f7&tag=wwwphilipsau2-22#customerReviews

Bought mine and fitted 14 months ago. I leave them on all the time. They are just as bright now as when fitted last year. There is no tint. They are almost pure white.

More than happy. My previous 9 year old bulbs were developing a slight yellow tint.
If you order online buy from Amazon, they have a reputation to keep. Apparently there are copies out there.
There are some YT videos somewhere showing the fake boxes.
I think, but not sure, there is a code number that can be cross checked on the box with Philips.

[ref]flybobbie[/ref], thanks for the details, I'm getting convinced
I can get them from a local Philips shop, so no issue

And also the beam pattern is slightly different.

Is it possible to manually increase the height that the beam shines? (I've got the adaptive headlights). I live on pretty rural roads where suicidal animals is all too common so any extra visibility would be a massive plus.
