Lumileds, the company licensed to use the Philips brand for its automotive lighting and accessories product portfolio has issued new information and a video stressing the importance of headlamp replacement in pairs.


Lumileds points out that if one bulb fails the second will probably fail shortly after and this makes it a smarter, more convenient and more economic approach to maintenance. Two new lamps are also brighter so you see further and get a balanced view of the road.

Lumileds offer an extensive range of Xenon and Halogen types that are designed to give the utmost quality, performance and style in all driving conditions. They are also available in dual packs to make it easier and cheaper to change both sides at the same time.

Richard Armstrong, Business Development Manager Automotive, UK & Eire at Lumileds said, “Light is fundamental to driving and light is the first and only part of the safety circle that actually helps prevent accidents. Philips promotes active safety protection to prevent accidents by increasing overall visibility and road illumination. This allows drivers to be seen sooner and to see further down the road so they can avoid potential hazards.” Ha adds, “Our OE headlamp bulbs typically last longer than non-OE bulbs as we pay extra attention to quality and testing during manufacture. It reduces the likelihood of an ‘early failure’, which is when a lamp blows soon after fitting due to production faults, rather than wear. If you replace both headlamps with matching OE parts, there’s a very good chance that they’ll last as long as each other.”

The Philips automotive lighting YouTube Channel offers a range of both technical instruction videos and short product information films for technicians.
