High quality and visibility
VisionPlus provides you with a better reactivity 
thanks to an earlier recognition of obstacles and 
traffic signs. Brake lighting is also visible earlier, 
thanks to a more powerful light output. Drivers 
can reduce their braking distance by up to 3 
meters at 100 km/h. Light is a fundamental part 
of the driving experience and light is the first and 
only part of the safety circle that actually helps 
prevent accidents.
High quality quartz glass
UV-Quartz glass is stronger than hard glass and 
highly resistant to temperature extremes and 
vibrations, which eliminates the risk of 
explosion. Philips quartz-glass lamps (filament 2 
650º C and glass 800º C) are able to withstand 
severe thermal shock. With the capability of 
increased pressure inside the lamp, UV-quartz 
glass is able to produce a more powerful light
Resistance against humidity
Only a burning bulb made of quartz glass
(filament 2650°c, glass 800°c) can resist thermal
shocks : if a drop of cold water touches the hot
bulb, which can happen when you drive through
water with a broken headlight unit.
