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

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!

    INSTANT REBATE offer is BACK!

    Between Jan 29 and Feb 7, 2016, 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 $ /PAIR (Our reg price: $209.99)
    PHILIPS X-tremeVision D2R: ONLY $ /PAIR (Our reg price: $209.99)
    PHILIPS X-tremeVision D1S: ONLY $ /PAIR (Our reg price: $249.99)
    PHILIPS X-tremeVision D3S: ONLY $ /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

    Get the XVs! They test higher lumens after break in! And they're cheaper ;)

    Super happy customer here.

    This is probably not something you as Osram fan wanted to hear from me.
    We do not turn over CBI's as we much as we do on Philips XV because XV bulbs are much more popular due to identical color and 30% more brightness compared to Osram CBI (Osram CBI = 5000K & up to +20% brightness, Philips XV = 5000K & up to +50% brightness).
    My guess is that for that reason, our distributor does not provide any offer on Osram
    IMO, CBI was good upgrade for D2S and D1S since color was 5500K with up to +20% brightness but for same color, why not going with more lights, right? :D

    We should make a dedicated section on AZ for XV bulbs. :D

    Are these 100% Genuine? So I can trace the code/scan to back to Philips? Do you have close up pics of the D2S? I have had issues with fakes before so I am leery especially with such a low price for a pair. Not saying anything just making sure. I bought mine from power bulbs.com and finally got originals but a bit more in cost. I will say that these are brighter but not sure for me weather I like the white/blue color over the original 4300K. Anyway...

    3 Days Left and counting down.

    FAQ for today:
    Q: Many customers ask us what would be recommended for fogs to match color.
    A: We recommend using M'autolite LED's for fogs.
    They will not throw error message on B8 & B8.5 A4/A5 and Q5's for sure. A6 would trigger fault.
    Other models have not been confirmed.
    http://www.hidconcept.com/brands/M'AUTOLITE.html
    They produce 5500K color and gives 2500lm, which is much brighter than halogen lights.
    Will the color match perfectly? Well, since it's two different technologies involved (LED vs. HID), the color tone itself is different but they do in fact match close enough but I wouldn't say 100% match (more like 90% match). You can use the coupon code AZDC10 to save 10% on it.

Also HIDConcept prices can't be beat and it's an authentic bulb, no risk of knockoffs on ebay.

    Top: OEM bulb 4yrs old
    Bottom: Philips XV, 2hrs run time

    Settings: ISO100, f/2.8, 0.5", 16mm, 4050k WB

    It's Super Bowl day! Panthers or Broncos?
    It's also the last day for this offer.
    Please note that it's not something we can offer if you contact us tomorrow and ask us to apply the same deal since it's the rebate offer.
    Cheers!
