I know there are plenty of threads regarding bulbs as such but are there any forums which have pics of people running these different types. What i'm looking for is some pictures of Phillips Crystal & Diamond Vision Bulbs Straight on and Angle views would be great. Looking at getting either of these two types. Also any feed back on probs with the two.
Cheers Adam

Is hard to show pics like that, only with your eyes you could see the big picture.

I can attemp to take a pic but its hard with the digital camera. I am sure you may find some doing a search too.

Here is a pic

Note, the effect is difficult to take, it will be either too glare if I expose it too long or too dim.
But I think is a good pic for diamond visions.

I dont have a pic of diamonds at all mate, but i have a couple of crystals. Couldnt justify spending the $ on diamonds lol seeing as they have such a short lifespan (it'd cost an arm and a leg replacing globes), but i think the crystals do the job for me anyway.

Umm first pic is comparison on my car; Crystal vision on left, blue vision on right. You can see a huge difference.

2nd pic is just an old nightshot of my car with crystals in.

Heres the thing, in Singapore is just $10.00 more for Diamonds. lol
I do not know why they are so expensive here.

FiReStOrM nice attemp but I did the same thing and at night it just look the same as your pic. The effect is only when you are present on the spot.

Basically Crystal looks white and Diamond feels brighter but with a tint of blue. I like the colour of both actually get tired of diamonds sometimes and Crystal looks nice too.

This is a pic of just using my new LEDs for my parkers, pretty bright.

Thats what the first pic shows. The crystals 'are' whiter, but not completely white. The further away you are, the bluer the light is. 1st pic is with dirty headlight protectors onn too.. sorry :doubt: .

Also, what "effect" are we talking about here?

The effect I am talking of is only when we see it with our eyes as we know how bright they are and is hard to be captured on our cameras.

Is hard for us to compare by pic as the amount of light that is absobed into the camera does alter its original colour.

Nah man, I wasn't complaining about your pic. I am saying I tried to take some shots at night but they also ended up like yours similiar and hard to tell. See my previous post where I gave an URL link. they dont look that blue either for diamonds.

I don't think this product can be found here, but of course there would be exceptions to ricey shops.

I bought these ALPHA-02 parkers for $25.00, yes costly but they are really a big difference is lighting.

And no, I dont have any, they were bought when I was in Singapore. I was giving them a test.

vlad, small world. Except this garage is what I felt SMALL. I am renting here. The owner stupidly have the garage 2 meters shorter!

lol. Not in Australia. I have offered to members here in WA before I came back from Singapore. I did not want to deal with other states due to shipping and these are globes and I do not want them broken in any process. But there was a lack of interests as they either already have them or were afraid of legal issues. Anyway, I bought myself a pair of H7 and they work great. Crystal visions were like $75.00 or 80 a set. The best part was the shop have them on demo so you could see the difference in ALL the philips globes.

I just find the globes here are way over priced. Only the Vision Plus are about $10.00 more than the price I could buy in Singapore which is still reasonable.

you guys are aware of reduced light and viewing distance with these globes. even though these are the good ones. they are quality globes and are made by two of the best companies. osram and phillips.

i made a compromise and got power2nite gt150s. go into an autobarn and they will have a display box where you can see the light colours and make sure yolu read the label on display for each different globe.

cant convince you not to get them?

well then, buy here:
