Philips Crystal Vision vs Diamond Vision
Hello all,
I've been trying to replace my stock fog lamp bulbs with something that matches the stop Bi-Xenons better, but haven't been able to decide whether the crystal visions or diamond visions would be better for the job. I plan on getting the AZN eyelid LEDs eventually as well and I would like for everything to match up. I've looked through the numerous threads, but haven't been able to find a definitive answer, some say the CVs are better while others say go with DV. Help!

Diamond vision is more white (5000k) than crystal vision (off white/4500k), so it really depends what you prefer. The difference is really tiny and I think 5000k resembles natural daylight, which is better for nighttime driving even though 4500k is technically brighter.
Why not upgrade to HIDs? Or do you have the facelift model?

Well I know the best way is to go the HID route, but I prefer to stay away from having to pay $100+ just to match the lights. lol I don't live in a particularly foggy area so using them for that purpose really isn't going to be an issue. With that said I would like to have them have a little effect. Also, I'll be putting on the Lamin-X film on the fogs and have heard they leave burn marks after awhile unless you use LEDs. Has anyone found any good LEDs for the fogs that match??

Diamond Visions are a better match. Crystal vision still has a decent amount of yellow to it.
