Philips Ultra Blue D1S 85410 6000K (single)

Our Review

In summary:

Now so many vehicles are fitted with Xenon HID, some drivers want to make their car stand out from the crowd. Philips have created Ultra Blue - a Xenon HID lamp that delivers a 6000K colour temperature. Compared to standard (which is 4300K), this bulb creates a distinctive and unique light, ideal for the driver who wants to make their car lighting look and perform better than the rest.

The improvement in style is not at the expense of performance or reliability. Philips Ultra Blue is manufactured in Philips' Aachen factory to the same high quality standards that your vehicle manufacturer insist on. Many cheaper upgrade HID lamps are not produced in this way, leading to poor results or even damage to the vehicle.

Upgrading your HID bulbs - what you should know:

All bulbs should be changed in pairs. This product is sold individually. If only one has failed, it's likely the other will fail very soon as they have both been used for the same period of time. In addition, if you change just one then you will find one headlight is brighter than the other and a different colour.

Due to the high voltages involved, a qualified mechanic or auto-electrician should replace the lamp.

Watch out for low quality replacement parts. This product has been made by Philips in Aachen, Germany and to the same high quality as your vehicle manufacturer insists on. Other cheaper bulbs will not deliver the same performance and reliability.

Are they legal to use and do I need to modify my vehicle?

The product is fully road legal and is suitable for vehicles who already have a factory fitted Xenon HID system. It is not a HID kit. It is not suitable for vehicles installed with HID kits. We don't recommend HID kits.

Manufacturers Review

Aimed at the most demanding drivers for whom even a normal Xenon HID lamp is not enough, Xenon UltraBlue is the ultimate Xenon upgrade. Its distinctive 6000 K bluish light turns heads and transforms even the darkest night into day light.

• Distinctive 6000 K bluish light effect
• Same color temperature as daylight
• Plus all the benefits of well known Xenon gas discharge lamps such as long lifetime, high efficiency and up to 200% more light compared to standard halogen lamps.
• Fully homologated, compatible with existing Xenon system
• Engineered by Philips, inventor of the Xenon lamp
• Fully road legal within the EU

NOTE: It is highly recommended that Xenon components are changed in pairs to avoid disparities in the beam pattern and colour. This product is suitable only for vehicles with the Xenon HID system already installed.
