Philips Ultinon Access LED car headlight bulb (HB3/HB4), ultra-compact direct-fit, 80%, 6.000K, set of 2

Was initially skeptical given the general negativity on retrofit LED headlight bulbs. Turns out they work brilliantly on a 2017 Renault Zoe ZE40, notorious for pathetically dim halogen headlights despite being a relatively new EV. These H7 bulbs work great in the car's projector headlight housings, throwing out crisp white light that actually lights up the road ahead. My projector lenses also keep the factory beam patterns so I do not blind oncoming traffic. Installation is dead simple. Literally plug & play in replacement of the original H7 halogen bulbs with no modifications or workarounds needed at all. Downside to these keeping the H7 bulb shape/size is that they do not get as bright as the other LED bulbs that are physically larger and sometimes come with bulky heatsinks. But from 2 months' use (Oct - Nov), I found them to be perfectly adequate for general road use. My car does not have any canbus or electrical system checks for its exterior bulbs so bulb errors is not a problem for me, and I cannot comment on these bulbs' error prevention or canbus circumvention ability.

Ok first thing to say is that nowhere did it say these are Canbus error free so I was expecting a fault to show.... and it did...On my car that is no big deal. Start the car, error msg "low beam failure" pops up.. press the "ok" button on the stalk and its gone. No engine management light at any time and a one second fix. At some point I will probably buy the philips canbus corrector but at around £30 Im in no rush. Next the important part. Performance. Very very easy to fit.. bulbs have instant start up when switched on. The beam pattern is identical to the nightbreaker bulbs they replaced as far as I see. My car has projector headlights. The beam spread is more even and solid to my eyes. Driving with them is an altogether better experience over halogens. They light up road signs without the reflected glare of halogens. They illuminate the road in a more effective way for me. They dont appear "brighter" than halogens on the road surface but the white beam colour is far better at picking out what you need to see in my opinion. Its easier on the eyes. The cut off on the beam is spot on and no way a problem for oncoming drivers. My headlights look great and these bulbs have transformed my car to looking more modern and clean. If they last the 1500 hours promised they are well worth the money over nightbreakers. I shall be buying the H9 for main beams next. Yes I know they are not "road legal" in the UK .. and if they were in anyway inferior to halogens or posed a problem for blinding other drivers they would go. They dont.. they work brilliantly.. they are better than halogen and for me represent a safer drive. I will switch them out at MOT time. I have not driven them in rain or snow as yet but expect they will deliver the same quality performance.

I researched for a couple of years before finding these replacement headlamp bulbs - it seemed to me that almost every other example was designed for massive brightness at the expense of compatibility. These bulbs, however, plugged straight into my campervan and.. hey presto... I can actually see the road at night! I haven't had any warnings pop up (my camper is based on a 2021 Fiat Ducato chassis). I've now completed a reasonable mileage in hours of darkness and haven't been flashed once by an oncoming motorist, suggesting that the light distribution from these LED bulbs is pretty much correct. They are expensive, for sure - and I needed four - but now I feel much safer because I have a reasonable view of the road ahead. The MOT is due in late May and this might throw up an issue - but, based on my experience so far, I don't think that will be the case. If it does, I will try to amend this review.

If you still have the halogen bulbs in your car do yourself a favour and buy a pair of these bulbs, they are road legal and seem ok for MOT,s . The difference is staggering, you won't be disapointed in the extra light it gives out. So far I've fitted these Philips bulbs on 4 if my families cars ,and every one is impressed with the bulb light output.

Pros : good fit (exactly the same dimensions as a regular H7 bulb) so no issues with fitting into the housing. Good beam quality and brightness. Cons : I noticed the beam on the road seemed to have darker areas after a few months. Turned out some of the LED chips have failed. Each bulb has two chips. One each side. On one of my bulbs one side has gained completely - no light at all. On the other, one side has failed partially with maybe 10% of the light output of the functional side. In short - garbage. Failed after 4 months / less than approx 100 hours use.

60w led head lights not over bright so as not to dazzle oncoming drivers but a clear white light pleased with them

Riktiga höjdare!!!

Product is of good quality and original

I put these Phillips Ultinon LED H7 globes in my partners 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe. They work a treat. Perfect fit and they don’t upset the computer at all. And the light that comes out of them is brilliant as you can see in the photos. High beam and low beam. Highly recommend these 10/10

De kleine fan is duidelijk hoorbaar in de auto
