Thread: Philips Extreme Power Bulbs

Sorry it took me so long to get pics. These ones might not be the greatest due to me not having my camera and using my dads and I have no idea how to work it. lol.

With headlights and fogs on


With just fogs on


Frontal pic

These pics were taken with my iphone sometime ago in the srakets area of the parking lot at my job. The beam on the philips bulbs shine longer in terms of distance in comparison to the silverstars.

Philips X-treme 9007's in the headlights paired with H3 Osram nightbreakers in my aftermarket fogs.

Nice guys thanks for the pics, i orderd the bulbs so im just waiting to get them o i can try them out.

You guys think it will look weird with theses as my headlights and stock fog? Also anyone know if the 9006 bulb will work in my fogs of my aspen, i looked at 9005 and they say it wil work but the watts might melt my fog lamps.

They should look good with the stock fogs probably just a tad whiter.

I looked on sylvanias site and see that the fog light bulb is a 9145. It looks like a 9006 would work but I can not be sure. Have you searched online to see if a 9006 can be used in it's place?

Some one tried it on their jeep, they said the bulb 9006 would not fit the socket but the 9005 would. the only problem is the high wattage which can burn our housing. the 9006 would not fit in the 9005 socket of the Grand prix would it?

I only found this for our fogs but they only will make a slim differ but its too pricy and for just one bulb.

anyone find these cheaper somewhere else. and can any one find other 9145 bulbs?

Just did a little reading on this. The 9005 bulb is rated 20 watts higher than the 9145. So it could possibly melt the plastic housing depending on the size of the fog light housing. I would stay away from the silverstar version of the 9145. Silverstars are known to burn out quicker. You should just stick with a clear bulb. The xtreme power bulbs have a temperature rating of 3450K and the stock 9145 bulbs have a rating of 3100K. So they should match pretty well.

Philips does make the crystal vision bulb in the 9145 and has a rating of 4000K. Just remember that a blue coated bulb actually has less light output than a clear bulb.

Thanks for the advice and ya im not trying the 9005. Will those crystal vision be brighter than the stock with that blue tint? Either way i am looking for a clear white one not the blue tinted one ill keep looking, and also what o you guys think about LED fog lights are those much more brighter?

LED's are more fore looks. They will not provide any suitable light output. The crystal vision bulbs will be more white than the stock light.

Just got and installed the bulbs for the headlights and they did make a differ on the road and got wider and farther and whiter too. Ill post pics up later and thankx for all your guys advice, now i do want better fog lights. so ill see about them fog lights.

Thanks for the info ya the LEDs are expensive for it only to be for looks.

Do you know if there is a set of aftermarket fog lights that fit into the bumper opening?

I looked on amazon and found a few last time ill look again and see if i can find some. Let me guess i should find one tha twont melt if i install 9005 bulbs?

Well I meant a glass housing aftermarket set of fogs. Most of them use an H3 bulb. For example I am using a set of aftermarket optilux fogs in my grand prix that use an H3 bulb. If you could find a suitable replacement that would be a nice upgrade.

Ill look for em and see what i find, if anything ill leave it alone till i get HIDs.
