## Description

Philips 12972WHVSM WhiteVision Halogen Headlamp Bulb H7/W5W, 12 V : desertcart.co.uk: Automotive

Review: Whiter, but not "white" - The good: These bulbs are indeed very bright, and their beam is very crisp and white. As easy to fit as any other headlight bulb, because obviously they are just standard bulbs. They also feel faster to fully light up than cheap bulbs, but I don't know if this is true or not. The bad: I have but one grumble with them, which will apply to any road legal halogen bulb, when next to LED sidelights and DRL bulbs they look very yellow indeed. However, I believe that it is not possible to make truly "white" halogen bulbs that are legal to be used on the road. I think these are as close as you're going to get without converting to HID or LED which both have their own problems when retrofitted. In my opinion, for their intended purpose, these are absolutely some of the best bulbs in their class.
Review: It fits, super strong light and great quality - It has been fitted in the car for so long and never had an issue. It is really durable and works in all weather conditions. I can definitely see through longer distance now. It appears as a strong white light with great appearance and versatility.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Value. White, Crisp Beams!
*by T***B on 1 February 2016*

I bought these bulbs to replace the headlight bulbs in a 63' Nissan Juke. Having replaced the 'allegator eyes' on the bonnet (side lights) with LED lights (which is a fantastic idea by the way), the headlights looked laughably yellow. Nobody wants yellow lights. After a huge amount of research. Considering changing headlights with kits. Understanding how the kelvin colour spectrum works. I decided these were probably the best in the market. As it stands, your normal, yellow headlights are roughly 3500K. Estimations online as to how this scale works and looks vary wildly. As does the legality of bulb upgrades. And I can safely say that the claims made by almost every brand are somewhat exaggerated. You need to keep in mind that the 5000K+ bulbs on the market, however attractive as they are, are technically not road legal. Additionally, they are likely not to pass an MOT. So these bulbs provide the highest rating of 4300K while remaining legal and MOT approved. They look fantastic. Let's say it now. Compare them to the standard yellow bulbs (I changed one and tested them) and it is outstanding. They do look like HID or Xenon type lights. Crisp, snow white beam with a slight (very slight) tinge of blue at the edges of the beam. They are not HID or Xenon. Looking at the lights in their housing they are distinctly whiter but not as white as my side lights (which are 5000K for a very crisp effect in the dark with the headlights off). The lights in their housing look much better than standard lights of cars around you but they don't look like Xenon, but do pass for HID! That said, driving around the beam is longer than any bulb I have ever had and the light on the road, walls and other cars is white. Very white. Exceptionally bright beam too and in unlit areas they provide fantastic illumination. In summary, if you don't want to start meddling with your car too much, if you want crisp white beams with whiter looking headlights without breaking the law, these are the very best you can get and at an outstanding price.
