Philips Lighting - Diamond Vision

[Tbradley_2]

I picked up some Philips Diamond Vision 9005 5000K bulbs to replace my DRL's / High Beams

I was looking through this (http://www.torontomazda3.ca/forum/showthread.php?56898-2010-M3S-Philips-5000k-DiamondVision-H11-Halogen&highlight=philips+diamond+vision)thread and really liked the mods. I want to do the Genuine Philips HID kit for the low beams next. I will upload pictures when I get around to the install!

where did you get them from and how much were they?

are you a first or second gen 3?

[Tbradley_2]

ebay of all places! They are the real deal to. Shipped from China and took about 2-3 weeks. They were cheaper than elsewhere but just took a long time to come. I'm a 2012 3 so 9005's are my drl / high beams and low beams use a H11 bulb.

I have these running and they seem slightly less yellower but not white at all.

+1. i've used a lot of bulbs.

for performance, nothing beat the Osram Ralleyes. i know their for off-road, but they don't blind, and look good.
the nightbreakers are fantastic as well.
