Philips Vision LED: FAQ
What is the difference between Philips Vision LED and other LEDs?
Its groundbreaking design is what makes Vision LED stand out. Light output of an LED bulb is not necessarily related to the number of LEDs mounted on the bulb, but it is all about filament position. By mounting the LEDs in filament position, we get the maximum light output on where it needs to be, on the road. This filament position allows us to meet the light output of an incandescent bulb, thus make them street-legal. In addition, due to its design, the LEDs are extremely robust and shock- and moisture proof and capable of handling voltage surges without failure.
My LED doesn't light up after installation. Why does this happen and how can I solve this?
If your LED doesn't light up, its likely that you need to flip the LED.
Why does this happen?
Regular incandescent bulbs can draw current in either direction, there are no 'positive' or 'negative' sides on the bulb. The bulb will work regardless of which direction it is inserted. LED bulbs, however, only draw current in one direction. Basically, this situation can be compared to batteries that have a positive and negative side. So if the LEDs are inserted incorrectly, they will not work. The solution is to simply flip the LED!
Follow these steps to reverse the polarity:
1. Remove the LED from the socket.
2. Flip the LED.
3. Insert LED back into the socket.
4. Check to ensure the LED lights up.
After installation: I notice fast flash or dashboard errors about a failing bulb. What should I do?
Error messages appear because the LED bulb wattage is much lower than conventional bulbs, which can make an outage warning system unable to detect the bulb.
If your car has a dashboard error message, experiences fast flash or goes in limp mode upon installation of an LED bulb, you may consider to purchase and install a Philips Vision LED CAN-bus warning canceller solution.
The 5W CAN-bus is used for interior applications, and license plate lighting. The 21W CAN-bus is used for exterior applications.

921 white LED back-up light:
It works just great. I think it's just a bit clearer than the stock incandescent too. That may be just due to the whiter light rather than it being any brighter. The reversed reflective nature of the bulb makes it work a bit better in normal reflective lenses than typical LEDs too. I'm not sure if people understand how important it is that reverse lights not be too bright. You want people around you in a parking lot to see when you're backing up, not to be blinded by your reverse lights and possibly slam into you but you want to be able to see well when backing up. I think Philips has struck a good balance here.
I also rather like the idea that these lights will probably outlast the car. Most LEDs offer tens of thousands of hours of operational use. I get the impression these are less due to minimal heat dissipation perhaps, but they'll still last so long that an older car like mine will probably end up tearing up its engine or something long before this bulb dies out.

7443 red LED tail light:
These feel very well designed. Very sturdily built (if you look at the picture they look small and flimsy, but they are actually a very tough thick plastic that can handle high heat and a lot of punishment) and they have these nice little ridges that cause them to click into place when you put them in -- which even the stock incandescents didn't do. I have CK sockets, so I was really grateful to the reviewer who pointed out that these work properly in them. As they said, if you put it in and it's on then goes off when you press the brake, just switch it around. Kudos to Philips for managing to support CK sockets with their bulbs without forcing us to rewire them.
As for actual effectiveness, compared to brand new stock bulbs they seem to be exactly the same. I suspect people testing them and seeing them as brighter on low probably were comparing to an old bulb since halogen bulbs do wear out over time and the low filament clocks in far more work hours than the high obviously. Once I put them into the enclosures, they looked exactly the same both on low and on high (eg brake off and brake on.) This is perfect. Brake lights should be visible, not blinding. But visible they definitely are. They get along perfectly with the standard reflective enclosure and are very clear with even output. As others have mentioned, because the non-red light filter on most enclosures, these can get away with using even less power than you might expect with a 2 watt LED replacing a far higher than expected wattage halogen since almost the full output passes straight through the filter and I felt like it did so perfectly. (Though I haven't actually tested the wattage. I wonder if that 2 watts is the normal output and it's maybe 4 watts on bright? Otherwise it must be closer to 1 watt on low... Still really impressive either way though...)
With LEDs like these on the market I think it's way past time for car companies to officially switch to shipping cars with LEDs as stock (and I don't mean as an option.) I'm sure they enjoy whatever profits they get from stupid people coming in to the dealer to replace bulbs (sad, but some do) but this is an important safety issue and good LEDs will outlast the normal life of a car while being safer. Philips could absolutely be the one to pull off such a deal if they tried.
Not to mention, for safety purposes, these illuminate noticeably faster than the incandescent factory bulbs. They snap on immediately and at full brightness. I replaced one bulb and had my wife pump the brakes repeatedly while I watched. Even in broad daylight, the difference was stark and distinctly in favor of these Philips bulbs for both brightness and their eye catching ability. I then, without telling my wife which bulb had been switched to LED, had her comment on them. She was able to immediately identify the Philips LED bulb. She, too, preferred it to the factory bulbs.
This light is "all ate up" with heat sink mass, a VERY good thing. many aftermarket bulbs advertise tons of brightness. But, the primary enemy of any LED emitter is HEAT. Where is all that heat to go on those bigger aftermarket bulbs??? Especially if you were to say, GET STUCK IN A TRAFFIC JAM where your brake lights are lit continuously for an hour or more. Then what?
I'll tell you what; those bulbs overheat or they have to reduce their brightness significantly (by as much as 80%). Overheating an LED can take a 50,000 hour emitter and turn it into a 50 hour emitter. I've done it. So, this bulb is brighter than factory, but not by a crazy amount. It's DOT road legal (nice if you get pulled over or you have annual state inspections). And it's going to work over the long haul.
I'm very pleased. I think it's telling that Philips took so long to get into the MASSIVE aftermarket LED bulb game....maybe it took this long to truly get it right? Sure, there are brighter bulbs. Some as much as 2 to 3 times as bright as stock. But will they be THAT BRIGHT in a year? Two years? Five years? Ten years?
These Philips bulbs have a very balanced design approach much like quality flashlights. Plenty of heat sink area and mass, they work WITH your factory bulb reflector (another issue entirely; where are all those fancy ultra-bright LED emitters AIMED?) to have the proper beam pattern at 200-500 feet behind your car, they were a perfect drop-in fit for my factory Nissan bulb sockets (not breaking the sockets as some aftermarket bulbs tend to do).
Oh, and these draw much less electricity as compared to the factory bulbs. These eases the strain on my battery and alternator. With all the nav devices, stereos, bluetooth devices, and cell phone chargers in cars these days, reducing the electrical draw of your bulbs via LED replacements is a smart and effective way to get more life out of your battery...and MAYBE have a very slight positive effect on your MPG's due to lower load placed on your alternator. Regardless, it's more efficient, and I'm in favor of that.
