My only thought is that generally speaking, but not always, the brighter the bulb the shorter the life of the bulb. Since these are difficult to replace, that would be something to look into and it may say something about it on the back of the package. To me the OEM or factory bulbs are plenty bright. With all of that said, on the Amazon site it's only $60 for installation, an exceptional bargain for this car, which I'm sure would not apply.

They are by far the best HID bulbs on the market if you want the maximum amount of light output.

See review below for the Lux results:

Thanks guys...according to the description they actually last longer...but who knows...would love to install without involving the bumper!!!!!

Product description

Philips Xenon X-treme Vision gen2 HID bulbs produce outstanding light performance to push your drive to the limit. A powerful light beam, plus an optimal light spectrum, helps you to enjoy a safer, more comfortable drive. With up to 150% more light on the road, Xenon X-treme Vision gen2 bulbs produce a longer beam than standard to help you spot potential hazards with ease, improving your reaction time. You'll also benefit from improved peripheral vision, meaning that even the edges of the road are illuminated for extra safety. A colour temperature of 4800K delivers a crisp white light that's comfortable on the eyes, providing a better driving experience. Utilising specialist technology, Philips Xenon X-treme Vision gen2 lamps direct the light beam to the perfect spot in front of your car. Arc-blending technology illuminates the road ahead without dazzling other drivers. UV-Quartz glass is used to manufacture this range. It's stronger than hard glass and is highly resistant to temperature extremes and vibrations, meaning that the bulb is a lot less likely to fail early. Due to the pressure inside the bulb, the light produced is more powerful and has an extended lifetime in comparison to a standard halogen lamp. An additional protective layer is applied to the glass of the bulb, protecting it from harmful ultraviolet radiation. This will help your bulb to last even longer. All Philips Xenon X-treme Vision bulbs are fully road legal and are built to the highest ECE certified standards. Fake Philips Xenon lamps are an ever-increasing problem. An estimated 80% of Philips bulbs that are sold both on and offline are potentially counterfeit. To actively tackle this issue, Philips have now added a unique Certificate of Authenticity to every single Xenon HID bulb they produce. Any bulb now purchased without the Certificate could be a fake and should be avoided. Every single bulb that we sell features the Certificate of Authenticity on the packaging.
