Many drivers purchase a car or truck and never give a second thought to the vehicle's lights. But there's a great disparity between standard manufactur­er-installed lights and aftermarke­t lights that employ the latest technology, such as Philips Vision LEDs.

With LEDs, vehicle owners are less likely to lose a light to burnout or failure, which can effect visibility and potentiall­y result in a police citation. Unlike incandesce­nt bulbs that will eventually fade and go dim, LEDs stay bright at the same intensity, so drivers can be confident and rely on their consistent performanc­e.

Vision LEDs are new, innovative bulbs that are available for direct replacemen­t on interior and exterior lights and feature an advanced design capable of handling extreme heat and high vibrations. Because of their robust design and durability, Vision LEDs are backed by a 12-year limited warranty, providing drivers with more than a decade's worth of return on their initial investment­s.

And, unlike standard incandesce­nt lights in brake light applicatio­ns, Vision LEDs turn on instantly, helping drivers react faster. A faster light response can help reduce overall braking distance. For example, at a speed of 75 mph, a driver can reduce braking distance by up to 20 feet because of a quicker reaction to the brake lights. personaliz­ed, automotive style upgrades are rarely associated with great returns. But some style upgrades are wiser investment­s than others. For example, Philips Vision LEDs mimic the popular lighting style used by many of today's high-end luxury vehicle manufactur­ers, enabling drivers to give their vehicles the same high tech, top-of-theline look offered by luxury brands without saddling them with the higher costs of owning such vehicles.

The Vision LEDs are available to replace brake and taillights as well as back-up, dome, glove compartmen­t, side markers, trunk, and license plate lights, allowing drivers to make stylish upgrades that are backed by a limited 12-year warranty.
