It’s a solution for the drivers who want to upgrade their vehicle lights from halogen/conventional bulbs to LED. Currently, the road-legal LED upgrade (ABG) in Germany is available for H7 low beam application and H4 low and high beam application in a selected number of car platforms (few car platforms for high beam as well).

The advantages of an LED upgrade are numerous:
 

• Better visibility: You will get better visibility on the road for more safety for you and other drivers.
• Bright white light: You will have stylish bright white light to give a refreshed look to your car.
• Longer lifetime: You will benefit from a higher lifetime (approx. 6x longer lifetime), meaning cost saving of replacing conventional bulbs every 1-3 years.
• Upgrading to latest technology at affordable cost without needing to replace full headlamp or purchasing a new full-LED car. ·       

• Warranty up to 3 years (applies only for manufacturing defect and for non-commercial use within Germany. Further information at philips.com/auto-warranty)

No, Philips only offer the upgrade from halogen-based headlights to tested and safe Philips Ultinon Pro6000 H7-LED and H4-LED bulbs.

Yes, Philips LED upgrade ranges contributes to environment protection by:

• Significant energy-saving, consuming less overall resources and emitting less CO₂
• Fully compliant with RoHS/REACH, which means no hazardous materials which are harmful to the environment.
• Long service lifetime means the elimination of unnecessary replacement related waste and system costs while reducing overall resource consumption.

Many LED replacement bulb brands claim 10,000h, 20,000h or even 50,000h of LED bulb lifetime. This is completely misleading the customer. These brands are communicating the life of an LED chip itself measured at an ambient environment of 25 degrees and not the life of an LED bulb itself. The most critical piece of an LED bulb is the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) because it heats a lot and if not cooled down properly, it affects the performance of the LED bulb. The lifetime of an individual component doesn't matter, what matters is the lifetime of the product overall. That’s why, at Philips we offer 3-years warranty on our LED Ultinon Pro6000 H7-LED for our customer’s peace of mind. Further information at philips.com/auto-warranty.

Since July 2020, South Korean drivers have been able to upgrade their headlights from halogen to LED following approval of the second-generation Philips Ultinon Essential. Developed by Lumileds, the bulb brings superior LED brightness with a stylish white light.

Philips Ultinon Essential gen2’s homologation in July (H7 bulb size) broke new ground for the use of LED headlamps on public roads in Korea. For the first time anywhere, motorists can legally fit an H7-compatible LED bulb to any existing car model and drive on the national road network.
