    INSTANT REBATE is BACK! PHILIPS X-tremeVision +50% HID bulbs up to $100 Free shipping

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!

    INSTANT REBATE offer is BACK!

    If you've been pondering when to get Philips X-tremeVision HID bulbs, now is the good time.
    Between Dec 4 - Dec 9, 2015, order X-treme Vision HID bulbs and enjoy up to $100 of instant saving.
    Please note that this Instant Rebate offer is offered by the distributors and HID Concept cannot apply this offer to any orders placed prior to this promotional term.

    PHILIPS X-tremeVision D2S: ONLY $139.99 /PAIR (Our reg price: $209.99)
    PHILIPS X-tremeVision D2R: ONLY $139.99 /PAIR (Our reg price: $209.99)
    PHILIPS X-tremeVision D1S: ONLY $159.99 /PAIR (Our reg price: $249.99)
    PHILIPS X-tremeVision D3S: ONLY $159.99 /PAIR (Our reg price: $279.99)
    ** Be sure to use coupon code: XVOFFER during checkout.

    Philips X-tremeVision +50% series HID bulbs provide up to +50% more brightness and whiter color temperature rated at 5000K (initial color rated at 4800K).
    On top of our everyday low price, this INSTANT REBATE would make this deal even more special.
    If you've been looking to replace your stock/no-brand name D2S, D2R, D1S, or D3S bulbs to reliable Philips bulbs that are brighter and whiter, it's the time to grab the deal!

    Visit us at hidconcept.com

    FYI, see below comparison photos to see how it looks different from the stock 4300K (from our previous test)
    (First comparison photos were taken from our facility. The other two actual road comparison photos were taken by AUDIZINE members. Many thanks to kappax12 and studioRS!)
    There were rumors that X-tremeVision bulb gets whiter and brighter after 200 hrs of use.
    To find out if it's a rumor or truth, we ran a test by having a X-tremeVision bulb stay lit for 9 days (9 days x 24 hrs = 216 hrs).






    Conclusion: It's not a rumor anymore. It has been confirmed. X-tremeVision bulb gives whiter and brighter light compared to the stock 4300K bulb from the beginning and it gets even better as it goes through break-in process.
    We're very satisfied with the result after 216 hrs of use.

    We took a few comparison photos showing stock Philips 4300K D2S(lower), new Philips X-tremeVision D2S (middle), and color-shifted Philips X-tremeVision D2S w/220 hrs use (upper) to show you the difference in lighting output and color.
    The photos have not been photoshopped and untouched except for our log being added.

    Although we tried to take good photos, it is not easy to take photo of lighting.
    The result is that stock 4300K is noticeably yellower and dimmer than X-tremeVision bulb and the color-shifted X-tremeVision bulb is much whiter with crisp white.

    If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at [email protected] or 1-888-579-5917.

    Thank You,

    Mike @HID Concept

    Bought this a few months back along with the M'AUTOLITE Fanless LED fog lights. Lighting output for my long dark drives in the country definitely improved considerably. Maybe not quite 50% better but it's damn close! Worth the money for actual light output.

    How much brighter are your fogs with that led kit ? I was looking at those because I need an improvement but don't want to deal with installing a HID kit

    I have a different version of the fogs and yes it was plug and play. There is a balllist in line too though with these.

    Actually, it's not cheaper than BF we had. $199 pricing only received 10% discount during BF and it would be only $179 for D3S.
    It's not something we offer but rebate offer is given from our distributor.

    I forgot to mention that we have M'autolite Fanless LED's (w/Philips LMZ chips) that match very closely to Philips X-treme HID bulbs with 2500lm.
    Since our site does not give an option to use two coupon codes, you need to place a new separate order (Free shipping anyways) and use coupon code; AZDC10 to save 10% OFF

    The only unfortunate thing is the led fogs are visually bluer than the philips hid. But the light output is great for both of the lights and it definitely makes driving on unlit roads more comfortable!

    How difficult was the install of both headlights and fogs? If there is no bumper removal necessary, I'm in.

    No removal, maybe half an hour tops. Easy

    Headlights are easy and the fogs go in from the fender liner. 2 screws each side. Simple

    Yes, since LED and HID use different technologies, the color is not a 100% perfect match but it is fairly close enough IMO.

    No bumper removal needed. For a handy person, it would be 15 min. job.
    For first timer, I would say that it can take about 30 min.. or so.

    Actually, as far as I know, you can remove the fog grilles from the front and remove torx screws that hold the fogs.

    Read that quite a few people were breaking the tabs on the grills. Go through the fender liner. It really is simple.

    For the pure yellow, you should look into Philips X-treme Ultinon 2700K golden yellow LED kit.

    I see. it is another way to do it if you want to do it without breaking the tabs.

    Not to name drop other companies, but how it the output compared to the Hoen yellow fogs. I only ask bc I have the Hoen Endurance yellows they look good as for color, but for actual lumens not that great IMO.

    Hoen halogen vs Philips LED? There is a HUGE difference in terms of light output.
    Halogen light generally gives around 1400 lumen. Philips LED gives around 2200 lumen.
    As far as the color goes, Philips 2700K LED gives the perfect deep golden yellow color.
    Google search for it and you will see many photos..

    Last day of the rebate. This has happened all the time.
    Rebate offer is offered by our distributor and we have no control over it.
    Even if you contact us to get the same deal tomorrow, we have no ability to over-write. If you need it, please act today.
