hey guys,

I'm looking at upgrading my high beams to 'philips diamond vision globes'. They are a after market halogen globe that have a colour temp of 5000k meaning they will match up with my HID's. I want to stay close to OME as close as possible therefore why i want halogen in my highs instead on HIDs, i can always change later

the link below is a set I'm looking at buying off ebay;

was just wondering does anyone know the correct size for the high beams globe in a MY04 liberty, owners manual says HB3, this one I'm looking at is mentioned at HB3 9005, IS THIS THE SAME??

Thanks in advance

id say it would be the same size. i think im going to go the same way, see how the diamond vision is, then if its not bright enough, go for hid

If the manual say HB3, then these are the ones you need. Pretty happy with mine for the last 1.5 years.

But if Leo was in Perth, I'll be happy to get HIDs now, just not very handy in installing the HIDs myself

*OEM

i think we all picked up mark, just no one wanted to say anything

haha you don't miss a thing mark

No harm in saying something.

more a reference in how you mod your car too

Phillips diamond vision may say 5000k but they still appear slightly yellow compared to 5000k HID's. Also you won't have the same light output compared to stock globes as to get the 5000k look there is a blue tint on the bulb. This in turn reduces the light output.

The only way you will get colour match on your high beams is if you go HID. But honestly if thats the only reason you want to change your high beams theres not much point. No one sees your high beams anyway.

to be honest I like that look the more white as it lights up the road, plus my stock globes I don't believe have ever been changed as they have faded quite abit, no where near as bright as my dads 2000 hilux I was driving prior, I don't underestimate the HIDs at all as I have them on my lows/fogs and love them, just a cheaper ulturnative that I can change later on this thread was more to check the bulb size then for me to chose between halogen and HID I have already made my decision

some goodies came in the mail today, finally received my new high beam globes went for the philips diamond vision 5000k globes



not fully sure about the blue but i think i like it, something different

old v new


thoughts??

good, but should have gone full HID, I have just gone from those globes to HID's in my high beams and its crazy how it lights up the night.

they were only $40 ill test them out them and see how they go

sorry mate, only just read your first post that you where trying to stay stock'isssss.

I like it... but then I'm biased - that's the setup I have (for the time being anyway).

I think the transition to match colour temp first, and then go for higher lux later, is quite common for those who want to keep it stock
