Philips Crystal Vision Fog light pictures

Here are some pictures of the Philips 4300K Cystal Vision H7 in my fog lamp with the stock bulb in the other. You can really see the difference in light color and how they compare to the HID headlight color.

This is the Crystal Vision ordered off ebay from China, NOT the Cyrstal Vision ULTRA. They took about 2 weeks to come in.

Also the headlights are DDM 35W 6000k.

Looks good but I think you would be better off with the Diamond Visions as your hid kit is 6000k.

The camera makes the lights look a little more blue than they really are. They actually look like a very bright white with maybe a tiny hint of blue.

It's so hard to get good pictures of lights with a digital camera.

Please note the OP said its a 35w kit. If you had 6000k on a 55w kit it would be whiter.

What's the difference between this and the ones you can buy at O'Reilly?

I'm not familiar with O'Reilly but no difference as long as the one at O'Reilly is Crystal Vision as well. I made this comment because of another thread where forum members were saying they were all ordering off ebay or a website from China and the bulbs were $40 for a pair. Also others said there is a difference between Crystal Vision and Crystal Vision Ultra.

Phillips Crystal Vision vs Phillips Crystal Vision Ultra,

it seems by now the regular (non ultras) are not available in the US. I have the stock xenons, is it worth it to get the regulars from china? I think ultra will still be an improvement from those horrible yellow oem bulbs.

What are diamond visions?
