Im looking at changing my h7 HIDs back to bulbs. But im currently stuck deciding between:
Phillips X-treme Vision (a bit more yellow but more output)
and
Phillips Diamond Vision (HID effect, but lower output)
im just wondering if anyone can tell me what the output is like on diamond vision, and would they fail an MOT (as not road legal, would it be detectable)
many thanks,
ryan

Yes.

They do NOT come-up blue, they are a good match and I've been using them on both cars for years.

Yes, put hand behind light, twist the sidelight bulb holder and take it out. Change bulb and put the holder back into the hole twist, job done.

I've always used osram nightbreakers, had them on my first 206 4 years ago and they still going in my present car. They alot better than your standard bulbs.
