Meaning i'll probably end up waiting more than 10+days since autolamp still doesn't have the bulbs in stock. Why am mad? I went through this thread and a fellow ht member posted that i should contact autolamp to make sure they have them in stock. I emailed them and they confirmed they had them in stock and my order was going to be shipped out in the next 24hrs. Usually i'm very patient with these things but i've been waiting for 9 days and i end up getting this email. I might cancel my order with them and go else where. I honestly was hoping to get them by this week...

damn i sound like my gf on her period haha...sorry guys i'm stressing on my finals and my car has been acting up on me too...

update, autolamps replied back that they just got a shipment of the phillips bulbs and my order should be sent out today or tomorrow. They will also be shipping them express , so hopefully i get them some time this week or next week.

they have the same output as the silverstars.
overexposed pictures show alot of difference due to the camera will pick up more white than yellow

yoej8 · 04-25-2008, 12:35 PM

just got my two sets as well...will be testing them out tonight.

Will try to post pics.

yoej8 · 05-05-2008, 10:11 PM

mizzoEG · 05-05-2008, 10:48 PM

yoej8, do you have a before picture?

yoej8 · 05-05-2008, 11:34 PM

Sorry, I wish I did. I didn't have a camera on me when I intalled the bulbs. It was pretty similar to the pictures on the first page between the philips and ge honda.

jdmstockeg6 · 07-07-2008, 06:17 PM

can some1 post pictures of how it looked on stock eg housings with fluted lenses? deciding if i should buy a set

mizzoEG · 08-09-2008, 10:51 PM

Just installed them, will post photos shortly.

808EK4 · 08-10-2008, 07:30 PM

I bought a pair a few months ago for my 95 hatch. The low beams suck on these, but the high beams are definitely good. They look exactly how people post them on here.

mizzoEG · 08-13-2008, 04:25 AM

My results were pretty great IMO, but the outcome didn't reach my heightened expectations. I'm not sure what brand the Old Bulbs were (they came with the car) but they were definitely from GE.

Sorry, my highlights need a big time adjustment.

GE Old Bulbs (Low-Beam)

Philips Xtreme Power Bulbs (Low-Beam)

GE Old Bulbs (High-Beam)

Philips Xtreme Power Bulbs (High-Beam)

The Philips Xtreme Power Bulbs do have an impressive lead over the GE Old Bulb's in the Low-Beam department but the Philips Xtreme Power High-Beams had only slightly better lighting then the GE Old Bulb's High-Beams.

I'm pretty satisfied with these bulbs and would recommend them to anyone, but I think that +80% more light was a bit of an exaggeration and $40 was a bit over paid. Thanks for reading.

White99EX · 11-16-2008, 03:35 PM

Big ole

for these bulbs.

Before:

After:

Identical exposures for both these shots. New headlight bulbs are simply amazing, visibility at night is greatly improved. No noticeable blue in the light beam itself or when you look at the actual headlight during the day with the lights off, both of which I hate with those shitty blue coated bulbs that everyone uses.

Meoshe · 12-15-2008, 06:54 PM

Old thread I know but I just picked some up at super autobacs and hopefully they are the same ones. Packaging looks different but they were 26.99 so i'm hoping they are the same. From the bulb pictures they look exactly the same, have yet to put them in. I guess if anyone wants updates I'll do that.

Outrun · 12-15-2008, 10:57 PM

How's the bulb life? I do a lot of night driving and my bulbs tend to last longer than everyone else's. I'm not a scientist but I think a bulb that is on for one longer stint will last longer than a bulb that goes through many on/off cycles in the same amount of time.

ifIexplode · 02-06-2009, 09:52 AM

I was Curious of these bulbs so i searched for this thread. Google owns HT search.
Anyway, Theyre 33 USD dollars now with free shipping. Gots me a pair

toolfan020 · 02-17-2009, 03:21 PM

Hey guys, quick question, will the Phillip's extreme h4's replace my oem low beams in a 94 civic cx? Thanks

Outrun · 02-17-2009, 05:23 PM

Yes. They'll replace high beams too since 9003/H4 are dual filament bulbs.

toolfan020 · 02-17-2009, 09:24 PM

So to replace my oem low and high beams I need to order x2 of the h4 or one h4 and one 9300 set? Sorry I just want to clarify. Thanks

Outrun · 02-18-2009, 02:34 AM

Technically 9003 (aka HB2, technically for cars) and H4 (technically for motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles, etc) are different bulbs but practically they are the same. A lot of these bulbs are actually marked 9003 and H4 on the base.

Anyways, you just need to buy a pair.

toolfan020 · 02-18-2009, 01:32 PM

Thanks I went ahead and ordered a pair of the phillips extreme h4's. 40 bucks without shipping isnt bad at all.

yoej8 · 08-19-2009, 12:32 AM

update on mine.... a year and 3 months later. 1 bulb blew. Came out of nowhere since they were both going strong with no sign of dimming. hmmm fluke? But I think I'll order again.
