Lighting: Philips Hivisibility/Premium halogens

My old bulbs were getting pretty yellow and they just weren't throwing out enough light for me to feel comfortable driving fast at night. Decided to try these out after hearing good reviews of other Philips type bulbs, they're suppposed to throw out 30%more light, and they're cheap ~$12.

Here are the results. Old setup on the left, new on the right.

From inside the car:


From the roof of the car:


Close up on the lights:


Beam pattern:


As you can see the Philips seem to be a bit whiter and do throw out some more light. I'm fairly happy with them. We'll see how long they last.

Ehh, let's just say there's a change but nothing radical. Obviously it's the same beam pattern and height. It's just a little more intense. I wasn't "wowed" when I turned them on or anything. It's not going to make a huge difference but it was a reasonable upgrade for $25.

I'm interested in comparing them with the Philips Vision plus. From what I read they are supposed to be the exact same bulb as Hivisibility.

According to SUVLights.com Hivisibility = Premium (the european name). I only searched a couple sites but I couldn't find the Vision Plus in 9006. I am also curious about what if any differences exist.
