Default H4 on my bros civic

they are whiter, but not blue bulb blue.

What size are you looking to get? I'd reccomend the VisionPLus or the Premium+30% for increased light.

Default I replaced the OEM lamps on a 4 year old Taurus with a set.

Waste of time. Slightly bluer light but no better pattern or apparent increase in illumination. I used the Vision Plus. The "up to 30% brighter" is marketing horsecrap. Your current lamps are unlikely to be the really dim ones used in the comparison and 30% more lumens is insignificant relative to your eye's sensitivity. One f stop on a camera is 100%, but to the eye isn't much.

Replace your bulbs if they are really old or you like the small color change. Don't do it based on the marketing hype.

Default Don't waste your money on those. And they really don't look that blue

A6Boy did a test a while back on those. The Phillips you want to install are the ones we ordered for our cars-the Phillips Vision Plus.
The net difference, compared to the OEM bulbs, was dramatic.

Default TraderAlex is correct - the Philips VisionPlus rock! Go with them

However, I have the Philips BlueVision in my fogs. The VisionPlus are not available in H3.
