Pisces69 6th Gear November 2, 2006 Share November 2, 2006 It depends on how well u install. My VP is about 2 years & still ok. U must remember to never touch the glass part of the bulb cos the oil on your fingers wil burn when the bulb gets super hot & cause it to blow prematurely. All halogen bulbs r like this. Also if u happen to get a pack which was opened b4 u & got contaminated, then it wil blow very quickly. My installer wore clean white cotton gloves & was very careful not to let the glass touch anything when he installed it. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine_eleven 2nd Gear November 3, 2006 Share November 3, 2006 DV and CV won't last as long as VP... VP should last for as long as the stock bulbs... i suspect the blue coating on the DV and CV bulbs trap too much heat, affecting longevity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VP should last for as long as the stock bulbs... i suspect the blue coating on the DV and CV bulbs trap too much heat, affecting longevity. The DV I have in my car have lasted more than a year already. It depends on the installer cos if oilly hands touch the glass on the bulb will cos it to blow earlier. DV can get at around $70 and VP is around $30 include installation. DV is brighter if you look at the bulb from the outside but from within the car, VP is better cos yellow light throws further.

Wrc206 Neutral Newbie November 3, 2006 Share November 3, 2006 VP will be the best choice if driving in MY. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisces69 6th Gear November 3, 2006 Share November 3, 2006 OK thanks. Cos now I using VP & find it getting not so bright cos it's abt 2 years old. Even when new it was not that bright. Maybe slightly better than original halogen bulbs only. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine_eleven 2nd Gear November 3, 2006 Share November 3, 2006 the bluer the tint, the leseer the actual light output. VP is the brightest among DV, CV and VP. VP would be best for MY driving. just because it appears whiter doesn't mean it's really brighter... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine_eleven 2nd Gear November 3, 2006 Share November 3, 2006 DV APPEARS brighter, but has less lumens than VP VP doesn't throw light better than DV, its the other way round, DV doesn't throw as far as stock bulbs or VP... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrc206 Neutral Newbie November 3, 2006 Share November 3, 2006 Thats weird. Tot they claim to be brighter than original bulbs by 50%? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrc206 Neutral Newbie November 3, 2006 Share November 3, 2006 (edited) I'm confused You posted 'VP doesn't throw light better than DV' Then 'DV doesn't throw as far as stock bulbs or VP...' So which is which? From what I understand is with VP can see further. DV throw is very bad and is worse if during heavy rain or hazy conditions. Almost changed all my bulbs from DV to VP. I have read all about the lumens thingy. Edited November 3, 2006 by Wrc206 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
