Lumileds, the company behind the Philips lighting range is advising garages to replace headlamp bulbs in pairs as a smarter, more convenient and more economic approach to maintenance.
\nThe lamp filament\u00a0becomes fragile as it gets older, that makes driving at night more hazardous.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0also\u00a0faster, easier and cheaper to change both headlamps, rather than just one. It\u2019s not just the cost of changing lamps in the\u00a0workshop. You also lose time, and you don\u2019t get to choose the moment when that second lamp fails either-so changing two headlamps at once is smarter and more convenient,\u00a0as well as safer.<\/p>\n

Because cars\u2019\u00a0lighting needs to shine as safely and brightly as possible, you should take special\u00a0care\u00a0choosing headlamp bulbs. Lumileds\u00a0offers an extensive range of Xenon and Halogen types that are designed to give\u00a0the utmost quality, performance and style in all driving conditions.<\/p>\n

They are also available in dual packs to make it easier and cheaper to change both sides at the same time.\u00a0As a leading lighting solutions company for the automotive industry, Lumileds is licensed to use the Philips brand for its automotive lighting and accessories product portfolio.<\/p>\n

Richard Armstrong,\u00a0Business Development Manager Automotive – UK & Ireland at\u00a0Lumileds said:\u00a0\u201cLight is fundamental to driving and light is\u00a0the 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur OE\u00a0headlamp bulbs typically\u00a0last longer than non-OE bulbs as\u00a0we\u00a0pay extra attention to quality and testing during manufacture. It\u00a0reduces the likelihood of an \u2018early failure\u2019, which is when a lamp blows soon after fitting due to production faults,\u00a0rather than wear. If you replace both headlamps with matching OE parts, there\u2019s a very good chance that they\u2019ll last as long as each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Philips automotive lighting\u00a0YouTube Channel offers a range of both technical instruction videos and short product information films\u00a0for technicians,\u00a0to make it easier\u00a0to change the bulbs on the most popular cars on the road.\u00a0To view the videos:<\/p>\n
