Philips RacingVision +150% H7 headlight bulb 12972RVS2, twin pack - chrome

I purchased these lights on 18th December and they arrived before Christmas. They were brilliantly bright and very effective, however one of them has blown today and they haven’t lasted a year, let alone half a year which is a little disappointing. I’ve had cheaper lights last longer than a year :( I have no way of contacting the seller so thought I’d add a review just in case so no one else comes across the same issue.

I replaced the bulbs in my other car last year with these and should have done the same with the Focus. The lights were perfectly adequate but then 1 bulb went and I just bought an ordinary bulb from the garage and didn’t really notice any difference. Then some weeks later the other dip went so I replaced that as the first. It was then I realised how the light output had deteriorated. So now I’m on the same as the other car and can see at night again. I never get flashed as they are set right and must have a decent cut off. I’m expecting the longevity to be good because Phillips a good make.

LONG TERM REVIEW: Bought a 2 pack of these bulbs in early 2019, to replace a nearside bulb. The light is good, a bright white (rather than the OEM fit warm(er) white), and visibility is good. However, yesterday the bulb stopped work (the filament has split). Happily, with the remaining bulb from the multipack I could replace it. But in that time, the bulb on the offside has continued to work perfectly - which I assume is the factory fit bulb. So, the bulb is great, but the longevity could be improved. Whether the 'racing' design of it makes a difference to longevity or not, I'm not sure.

There is a subjective element in brightness perception. Allowing for some bias, these emit a perceptibly whiter light than my standard halogens, and over-all the road surface appears to be distinctly better illuminated using them. I was quite surprised about the enhanced view of the road, having expected very little, and been prepared to write-off the doubled cost of these bulbs over and above standard ones. There was a query about longevity, and it is too early to comment (two weeks use). If like me you are fed up with driving behind candles whilst oncoming motorists and cyclists blind you with LED and HID lamps, give then a try!

Bought this set of H7 headlights as my Insignia kept on reminding me about the dipped beam lights issue ( one of the bulbs was faulty ) Brightness is the best quality of this light bulbs as the beam light travels further and the spectrum of white is much more powerful than the ones I had until now . Matches perfectly , they`re easy to fit , and the price is pretty good as well .

I am a chauffeur and I drive a lot of time at night so it was always important to have good headlights for better vision. This was the first time that I bought this product and I have experienced quite a few different things with it. Let's start with the good things. Pros: I changed both bulbs as there was a quite a big difference in brightness between regular and a racing vision H7. The difference is very noticeable although don't expect a white LED light effect. It will be still yellow but not as much. It has a little bit white effect compered to other halogen light but still in the yellow spectrum. Unfortunately this is the only positive side of this light. Cons: It will change how your headlights are reflecting as I had to lower it because way to many people flashed at me during my first night. I just bought it couple of months ago but one of them is finished already. Keep in mind that I drive at night approximately 30 hours/week so if we do count how much I've driven with them then they achieved the lifespan said by the manufacturer but on the other hand they are way to expensive to get them replaced every 2 months or less.

These were decent lights dead easy to plug in (to VW polo) and when I was using them they were super bright and clear. However they did break a couple of times and I had to replace them again fairly quickly. Could be a fault with my car but the other ones I used did last longer so hard to tell

So, I bought a set of my usual Xtremevision +130% for my low beams and thought I'd try these +150% for high beams. And my god, they're bright! MUCH brighter than the +130s, but word is that they have much reduced life hence why I only fitted them to high beams as I do a lot of night driviing. Highly recommended but remember that the light that shines brightest shines the shortest...

Die Philips RacingVision +150% H7 Scheinwerferlampe (12972RVS2) im Doppelset, auch bekannt als Twin Box, ist eine leistungsstarke Beleuchtungslösung für Autos, die besonders bei schlechten Lichtverhältnissen oder bei Nachtfahrten von Vorteil ist. Diese Lampen versprechen bis zu 150% mehr Helligkeit im Vergleich zu Standard-Halogenlampen, was zu einer besseren Sicht und erhöhter Sicherheit auf der Straße führt. Ich habe die Philips RacingVision +150% H7 Scheinwerferlampen in meinem Peugeot 207 installiert und hier sind meine Erfahrungen: Helligkeit und Leistung: Die Helligkeit dieser Lampen ist beeindruckend. Die erhöhte Lichtleistung macht einen deutlichen Unterschied aus, besonders bei Nachtfahrten oder in schlecht beleuchteten Gebieten. Die Sichtweite ist erheblich verbessert, was das Erkennen von Hindernissen und Verkehrsschildern erleichtert und das Fahren sicherer macht. Installation: Die Installation der H7 Lampen in den Peugeot 207 war unkompliziert. Die Lampen passen perfekt in die vorhandenen Scheinwerferfassungen und der Austausch war schnell erledigt. Farbtemperatur: Die Lampen bieten eine angenehme, weiße Lichtfarbe, die der Tageslichtfarbe nahekommt. Dies reduziert die Augenbelastung bei längeren Fahrten und sorgt für ein komfortableres Fahrerlebnis. Lebensdauer: Ein Punkt, den man beachten sollte, ist die Lebensdauer. Hochleistungs-Halogenlampen wie diese tendieren dazu, eine kürzere Lebensdauer zu haben, was ich aber bis jetzt an diesen nicht bestätigen kann. Zusammenfassung: Die Philips RacingVision +150% H7 Scheinwerferlampen bieten eine erhebliche Verbesserung der Sicht und Sicherheit bei Nachtfahrten und schlechten Lichtverhältnissen. Die Installation in meinem Peugeot 207 war einfach und das Ergebnis war sofort spürbar.

I used it to replace low beam projector of Tata Nexon (XZ+ O) of 2021 model. The stock headlight bulb was of Osram 55 watt halogen. Philips Racing Vision (150) are marginally brighter. You can go for it.

Je cherchais de nouvelles H7 pour les feux de croisement de ma Golf 5 parce que j'étais vraiment mécontent de la luminosité de celles que j'avais avant, mais qui étaient assez blanches, ce que je trouvais plus design de l'extérieur. Là, je me suis dis tans pis pour le blanc et j'ai pris les plus lumineuses que j'ai trouvé, parce que la sécurité prime sur le design, donc les racing vision qui sont assez jaune. Résultat, ça éclaire vraiment fort et la couleur est bien plus agréable que le blanc qui est moins efficace et qui fatigue aussi la vue... Donc très bon achat pour moi. Pour la longévité, je n'ai pas encore d'avis puisque je ne les ai installées que depuis une semaine, et si elles claquent avant 2 ans ça peut faire cher à plein tarif. Mais à 17€ en reconditionné, je suis tenté d'en prendre aussi pour mes feux de route parce que l'efficacité est vraiment excellente...

Faccio una premessa,montavo delle lampade commerciali da 55 watt con temperatura 6000k quindi bianco puro e che fanno un ottima luce,le utilizzo da anni su diverse vetture e sulla mia polo aw1 le ho montate subito all'incirca 1 anno fa(hanno anche una lunga durata),qualche giorno fa mi sono imattuto in qualche video,vedendo queste racing vision e mi sono deciso a cambiarle seppur le mie erano buone. Cambiata la prima lampada e accendendo le luci la prima mia reazione è stata quella di rimpacchettare tutto e rispedirle al mittente,il faro lato passeggero completamente tendente al giallo,e quello lato guida di un bel bianco,ho allegato anche la foto ma sinceramente non rende l'idea,la lampada lato passeggero è molto più gialla. Passata anche questa fase di rabbia,mi sono detto...vabbè monto anche l'altra,le provo su strada e poi vedo. Nella prima foto si vede il fascio delle mie vecchie lampade tendenti al bianco,nella seconda si vede il fascio delle racing vision molto più sul giallo,ma se ci fate caso l'intensità è molto più marcata e pulita. Nella prova su strada sono rimasto sbalordito,nelle strade buie sembra di guidare di giorno,è incredibile il fascio di luce sia in verticale che in orizzontale,tutto ciò si traduce in massima sicurezza. Nel titolo ho usato il termine camaleontica e sapete perchè? Montate il pomeriggio la luce guardando i fari risultava estremamente gialla,ed invece la sera sembra molto più bianca...è incredibile. Detto tutto ciò alla fine mi ritengo molto ma molto soddisfatto,è vero ho perso quel look pure white con visione molto buona,ma ora ho delle lampade di un bianco naturale più tendente verso il giallo,ma la visione è spettacolare,secondo me non ha rivali come alogene (sugli abbaglianti monto Osr night bracker laser),e poi si è in regola con il codice della strada.....rischiare di farsi ritirare il libretto e far decadere l'assicurazione con lampade non omologate non ha senso. Ora toccherà vedere la durata

Los acabo de usar hoy y si es un cambio para mi de noche, ya veo bastante sobre todo los reflejantes voy a tener que bajar la altura de los faros ya que si deslumbre a varios conductores :/, usaba led y si se extraña el color de luz pero a distancia se difuminan bastante ya que mi coche tienen lupas y en carretera no ves nada por eso cambie a estos y los recomiendo. Subiré una foto de noche uno con led y el otro con philips racing para comparar diferencia.
