vision 9006 halogen bulb?

[picard]

Is this Vision 9006 halogen bulb actually produce 80 watts? I am very skeptical.
Does vision bulb actually produce bright beam?

Anyone have experience with Vision bulb?
Is there Xenon gas in the bulb?

Being the big fan of Vision X that I am, I actually wouldn't approve of this. A blue coating/filter on a bulb to produce a "white" effect is actually cutting light. Filters cannot improve light output.

It could very well be 80 watts, but who knows?

I don't personally have any experience with any of their stuff other than the LED department, so I can't say too much for their halogen lighting.

My 2 cents....

the bulb is only slightly blue. It doesn't cut off light that much. I hope it actually produce 80watts. I would be **** off if it isn't bright.

Lamps don't produce watts, they consume them. Wattage is not an indication of the output of the bulb, either.

Tinting removes light. A little bit of tinting removes less light, but it's still removing light.

Bulbs do not "produce watts". The watt is a measure of electrical power going in the back end of the bulb, not a measure of light coming out the front.

Again (and again, and again, and again, and again): Blue glass is never the right choice, ever. All it can possibly do is reduce the amount of light reaching the road. It cannot, does not, never has, never will, never can improve your seeing -- no matter whose name is on the bulb.

"VisionX" is just another of the many, many pretend-brands of garbage badly made in parts of the world not known for quality, innovation, or anything else worth having. Stick to bulbs made by real, actual bulb companies. If you're trying to upgrade a 9006 system go see
this thread.

I think Don McLean said it best when he said:

"They would not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will."

So I guess the only way to get the "white" look is going to HID?

Anyone mode the LED emitter in car's headlamps? They have white color, even natural is whiter, and the new SST-90 can produce a lot of lumens: more than 3000???

So I guess not. "HID kits" in halogen-bulb headlamps (any kit, any headlamp, any vehicle) do not work safely or effectively, which is why they are illegal. See here

Not possible.

Keep in mind your headlamps are, first and foremost, safety devices. They are not toys or fashion accessories. Quit chasing after what you are calling the "white look". Put proper bulbs in your headlights -- the kind of bulb they were designed to take.

I've been using Xtreme Power and then switch to HIR for brighter, Xtreme Power is in the drawer now collecting dust after two weeks of use, but still want the "white look" from cars like Mercedes, BMW, Jaguar, Lexus, ...

So my guess this time, and I think it's a right guess, is buying a new car with upgrade HID option to have that "white look". Problem is in no way I can afford for a new "luxury" brand because the only car I bought new and still driving it is a 15 years old (almost 16 now) 1994 Honda Accord.

Is the "white look" that important? (Especially at the cost of safety, considering the methods commonly used to attain it on older cars.)

Also, a 1994 Accord with "luxury" headlights is still a 1994 Accord (that's not inherently a bad thing). By trying to upgrade it you could be saving those nickels and dimes for either a new car or for some kind of repair (hopefully not) or maybe new tires.

Appreciate the car for what it is-- it's probably long paid for and being a Honda is probably just as reliable as ever.

If you want to spend money improving the lights, install a set of relays and also make sure the lenses are as clear as possible.

I don't want to go off on a tangent and I really don't like you argue with you, because you're always right, but have you ever tested, used, or even seen any of their products first hand? Did you know that their LED lighting has been used by NASA, multiple BAJA Racers, and Rally Sport racers? I know that you can say, "That still doesn't make them any less garbage.", but having owned a XMitter Bar from them, I can say that that thing is solidly built. It doesn't look like lower class "badly made garbage" to me. It performs astoundingly and regardless of what you say, is not poorly made. Forgive me for defending my passion. :duh2:

Carrot peelers, weed killer, biodegradable trash bags, or microwave egg scramblers, I don't care what-all else they might sell or make or pretend to make, because this thread is about their sorry headlight bulbs. I will bet you real, actual money NASA doesn't buy any idiotic blue headlight bulbs...

...and I'll win the bet.

Yeah, sorry to pull away from the Halogen. If you read my earlier post (#2), you will see that I am against them. I don't need to take that bet because I know they don't buy blue junk. :thumbsup:
