They'd have to be good to warrant the £116 price tag.

Hi
I can't see LED replacements for halogen bulbs on the Philips website...BUT, I have a set of Philips DRLs...and, believe me, they're bright...16 luxeon rebel (8 per side) emit a LOT of visibility
Luxeon emitters have been around quite a long time...they first popped up as replacements for Maglight bulbs.
Cheers
Helen

Hi
I've seen that website, but there's no headlamp bulbs???...what they are referring to is the DRLs (I think)....and you won't be disappointed with the Philips DRLs...When I park the Bongo before opening the gates to drive in, I have to avert my eyes when walking back to the Bongo, as they're so bright in daylight, but they WON'T blind someone when you are driving behind them or blind someone coming t'other way!
Cheers

Hi
I bought an aftermarket device to turn the Philips ones on with the ignition, and it also dims the LEDs with the headlamps on...I can't find the exact name of the unit, but there are plenty of them on e-bay...the Philips ones are wired differently, so I bought the switching unit.
