Headlight Bulb replacement for Performance

[Erick]

Finally received my Phillips X-treme visions headlight Bulbs.
They claim 100% more light than "normal" Halogen replacement Bulbs (Must get the X-treme Vision bulbs for this.. other versions the "Ultra" and blue eons do not give as much)

Prepping is sometimes not just about Beans Bullets band-aids
But good vision at night.. especially when tired or in a high threat bug out but you are forced to drive at night anyway..)
Not everyone can afford (or wants) Xenon conversions.
next best thing the brightest replacement bulbs out there.
Sold in pairs.

these are by far the best reviewed ones out there.
Sylvania makes a similar product but it has terrible reviews for longevity of its highest performance version and a guy I know from Industry says these Phillips really are the best and these only cost me like 2 dollars extra over the equivalent  Silverstars.
No brainer.

So here is the pic.. Guess which side is the new Phillips X-Treme Vision

I can find no way to determine which bulb fits which vehicle.  Is the one you noted good for an 09 Escape and a 13 F 150 or is there a search link for them or how do I get the right one?  Do they come in different shapes and fits for different vehicles or ?

Nemo,
Headlight Bulbs are normed for different fits for  different vehicle models.

There is the common 9007 (which I have), 9005 and other sizes.. Kind alike Tires sizes.
Your owners manual will tell the proper bulb "shape".

I also actually had quite a bit uncertainty at first about ordering the right set of bulbs.

But you can also use this application:

BTW just got back from a short 22 mile night drive just for fun.
It was a joy driving with these Bulbs.
Since I had also just replaced 2 tires and had all 4 balanced and aligned I felt like I was driving a brand new SUV
Definitely a significant improvement. the "100% extra light" claim is believable to me based on tonight's subjective experience.

I checkd for your Escape but it asked me an "S" , "SEL" or "Titanium and I dindt know
Same w/ the F150 you have to enter  a trim if you have HIDs or not.

For example the non-HID (which I suspect you may have) 2013 F150 takes H13 (9008) Bulbs were just one bulb does both Hi and Low beam.

Those bulbs seem to be the right ones, going through the checklist to ID them.  The Extreme vision ones are $26 a pair on Amazon.

Methinks I must get a pair.

Glad to have been on service! 

BTW I got mine from TireRack..
Amazon donates to leftist causes  ..as far as I know TireRack does not.
Also Amazon is getting bit too huge so I try to support other vendors to help make things less monopolistic.

Assuming amazon does what it says from its smile.amazon.com donation making, mine goes to the NRA.
