    INSTANT REBATE offer - PHILIPS X-treme Vision series HID XENON bulbs

    Between August 30 - September 7 2016, order X-treme Vision HID bulbs and enjoy up to $100 of instant saving (compared to the regular price).
    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 $144.99 /PAIR (Our reg price: $209.99)
    PHILIPS X-tremeVision D2R: ONLY $139.99 /PAIR (Our reg price: $209.99)
    PHILIPS X-tremeVision D1S: ONLY $148.99 /PAIR (Our reg price: $249.99)
    PHILIPS X-tremeVision D3S: ONLY $148.99 /PAIR (Our reg price: $279.99)
    ** Be sure to use coupon code: XVREBATE 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.

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

    Excellent bulbs!

    I know those pictures are horrible, but its the best I could do. They don't do these bulbs justice. It's great being able to see again at night. I can't even tell a difference when i turn on my fogs now, when before my fogs were brighter than my having my brights on. These bulbs are brighter then they look in the pictures. I like the color too. They're a nice crisp white. Would definitely recommend these.

    Thank You,

    Good price. As long as this is simply a bulb swap and not having to remove the entire headlamp assembly, I'll give it a shot.

    If you're running the stock airbox it's either pull that out or the headlight. It's one clip and three screws for each light. Very easy to do.

    On your 2015 there is also a drain tube connected to toward the bottom of each headlight assembly which you need to disconnect before you can remove the assembly from the car. It's not difficult but worth noting so you don't accidentally yank too hard on the housing before disconnecting that tube.

    Very true, inside bottom corner of each headlight. Took mine out yesterday to install led turn signals.

    IMO, X-tremeVision does match color closely after the break-in period.
    However, it will never be the perfect matching color since LED and HID are different lighting technologies.
