Headlight bulbs

I am about to order Philips H1 Vision Plus headlight bulbs for my car. I also want to change the high beam bulbs and I was wondering, do they use the same type of bulbs?

If so, will Vision Plus for low beams and Philips Blue Vision for high beams work?

So would

Low: VisionPlus

Highs: BlueVision

Be a good combination? Or vice-versa? Both VisionPlus? Both BlueVision? Some other company? CATZ for highs?

Sorry about the questions =P.

I have Blue Vision for lows and I would like to get the Vision Plus for my highs. Right now I have Hella Xenons for highs, they are bright, but from what I have heard about the Vision Plus, they are supposed to be very bright. But for your question, go with the Blue Vision for lows and the Vision Plus for your highs, you will like the look you get with the Blue visions, and great output with vision plus when you use your highs. Hope this helps

Which ones are brighter? BlueVisions or VisionPlus?

Do the BlueVisions light up blue at all? I don't want to get any trouble from any po's because of my headlight color.

The bluevision has a tint of blue to it...a very slight tint. It's like white with a little trace of blue. You can't see it unless they are at night. In the daytime, the light is yellow...very similar to stock but at night those suckers are so much better than stock. Brighter and they light up much more. I'll take some pics of it tonight and post them.

In that case, I will probably get VisionPlus highs and VisionPlus lows.

Here are the pics I promised. Better late than never.

Color of light on surface:



Pic of headlamps




The headlamps themselves don't look too blue in the pic but there is just a slight tint in real life. The light when it hits a surface is pretty much white with a very slight touch of blue as you can see.

www.powerbulbs.com

www.autolamps-online.com

The prices are comparable, although Powerbulbs is a little cheaper and they come with free wedge bulbs (194/168).

Does anybody know how Catz Galaxys compare to Philips VisionPlus/BlueVision?

Lifespan? Brightness? Color?

Thanks

I'm not sure if Philips makes their bulbs in H3 much less H3C which is the type of bulbs the JDMs use. You can buy a H3 bulb and do a H3C to H3 conversion in your JDMs.

Try www.powerbulbs.com and see if Philips carries the H3 bulb.

---EDIT--- Philips does make a H3 bulb, so your headlights should match perfectly with the foglights (H1 + H3).
