Best compromise between brightness and whiteness
I've been using the H4 version of the old Philips CrystalVision for my '93 Mitsubishi Lancer Coupe for the last three years and have been really satisfied using them, so I decided to order the new CrystalVision Ultra H7 for my 2015 Kia Sportage SUV's high beams.Now, I don't know whether the CrystalVision Ultra is a rebranded version of the Philips Crystalvision bulbs but I'm quite pleased to find out that its color closely matches to the 4300K Philips HID conversion kit that I've fitted to the Sportage's low beams. I would say the CrystalVision Plus is a lot whiter looking than the Sylvania Silverstar Ultra H7s that I've had for a year and its high beam throw is just as good, if not slightly farther down the road.To make matters confusing, Philips also sells a "4300K" version of the H7 under the "WhiteVision" sub-brand for the SE Asia market but it claims to have a color temperature "up to 4300K". That could mean that some batches of the WhiteVision may have color temps lower than 4300K, which could mean a white beam with a tinge of yellow color. The Philips WhiteVision H7 is officially tested to output light up to 1500 lumens, while the CrystalVision Ultra is rated at 1140 lumens (both @ 12 volts, 55 watts).The higher luminosity for the Philips WhiteVision could mean one thing: the WhiteVision may not be as "white" looking as the CrystalVision despite the former's claim to achieve a 4300K color temperature. I suspect the WhiteVision has a weaker blue tinting filter which allows more yellow color spectrum to pass through the quartz glass compared to the CrystalVision Ultra.If you're looking for a pair of quality "HID look" halogen bulb replacements, the Crystalvision Ultra gives a great balance between useful light on the road and beam whiteness.Don't bother with the Philips DiamondVision (5000K) bulbs for everyday driving! I've forgotten that I had them for a brief while after I took delivery of my KIA Sportage and they were a complete waste of money. The DiamondVision bulbs have filters that are "too bluish" that a lot of usable light is sacrificed and my low beams were actually dimmer than the stock OEM H7 bulbs that came with the car. Philips rates the DiamondVision at a meager 935 lumens, which is not bright enough especially for driving on rainy nights.If you want low beams that are very white with a lot of usable light on the road, you might as well go for the Philips HID Conversion Kit like I did. Do check with your local transport authority whether HID conversion kits are legal for your car. If your vehicle doesn't have projection style bulb enclosures i.e., the "open" kind where you can visually see the bulb through the headlamp glass, HID kits would definitely be illegal for your car.As with all very high pressure Xenon gas filled halogen upgrade bulbs, the downside to these kind of bulbs is their limited lifespan compared to long life and stock halogens. If you drive at night a lot, you may need to replace the CrystalVision halogens every 15 months or so.Bottom line: If you're looking for that near HID look for your car's halogen lamps without sacrificing too much usable light, the Philips CrystalVision Ultra bulbs are definitely worth trying out.

A little more expensive but I like the brightness
I would recommend these replacement light bulbs even though they are a little more expensive than the most other ones. Used them on 2012 VW.

First pair had issue but replacement worked fine. Not LED white but slightly whiter.
I ordered these for my BMW F30. One of the bulb from the first pair went dark and dimmed in the first week. I figured something was wrong with the manufacturing. I ordered replacement and replaced the entire first set with the replacement set. 1 month have passed and no issues. My last set of bulbs lasted approximately 7 years. I am hoping these would last at least 4years as the packaging says 350hrs.The brightness and temperature is just fine. These are among the bright ones but not the brightest. The more brighter and whiter, the less longer they will last, so these are just fine for my requirement.I also noticed that these were manufactured in Poland where as my last set was manufactured in Germany. Not sure if it has anything to do with longevity.

Great value for what you get
Purchased this for my parents GLE350. It is compatible. A bit annoying to install but that’s just H7. Although the light looks yellow in the pictures, looking at it from the front they look really bright and not as yellow as the picture. Driving at night my parents said it is def. Brighter and he can see a lot more. Product came packaged well and works great. Time will tell how long they last. Amazing price, quality, packaging, and brightness.

Honest Review ( Pleasantly surprised)
So a little disclaimer before I begin. I have owned multiple vehicals that I have always installed HID's in as well as owned a vehical with stock HID kit so I think I am fluent enough to speak for bolth HID's and non HID vehicals.Now I have a 2015 BMW 328i that I decided not to have the HID option installed (witch I was regretting by the way). After a while I was getting tired of the yellowish hue of the headlights. I wanted to install a HID kit but fear of frying the electrical system in my car stopped me. I came up on these headlight bulbs and I must stay that I wasn't expecting much.I received these just a few days ago and installed them today and I must say that I am pleased with the resultsProformance: They are noticeably brighter than the stock bulbs that came with the car and give me a little more distance down range and well as peripheral wideness.Color: This is the contraversal part... They do infact give off a white light however it is not a cool white like HID's give you it sits comfortably somewhere on the border of warm and cool white. These are in the ball park of the stock 4300k HID's that came on my 528i. Looking at them you will notice a slight blue tint of you have them in reflector housing (I'm not sure about a projector housing).Bottom Line: Are you going to get a true xenon look? (No but very close to it). Is it worth the $30 upgrade from the stock bulbs? (Absolutely). Would I buy it again? Already ordered a spare set and one for a family members car.
