Philips halogen headlight bulbs are manufactured and approved in accordance with the relevant automotive regulations. The specifications include the permitted luminous flux in lumen, the electrical power consumption and, of course, all the dimensions from the glass bulb itself to the base. This specification aims to ensure every bulb fits in every headlight and that the combination provides the correct light beam to ensure your safety on the road.
