Philips Automotive North America, a division of Royal Philips, has introduced a line of direct replacements for interior and exterior vehicle lighting that include street legal LEDs. Philips Vision LEDs are guaranteed to deliver years of dynamic lighting and are backed by a 12-year limited warranty.

Philips says it is first to market with street legal exterior LEDs. The LEDs feature an advanced design that not only provides a bright, well-focused beam on the road, but also robust enough to handle extreme heat and high vibrations. 

The new Philips Vision LED offering includes both interior and exterior applications, and the lights are available to replace brake and taillights, back-up, dome and glove compartment, side markers, trunk, and license plate lights.

Unlike standard incandescent lights, Philips Vision LED lights turn on instantly. This can help drivers to react faster and increase the margin of safety. In brake light applications, for example, a faster light response can help reduce overall braking distance. At a speed of 75 mph, braking distance can be reduced by up to 20 feet.

Philips Vision LEDs are available as direct replacements for the following lights: 168, 194, 12961, DE3021, DE3022, DE3175, 12854, 12844, DE3425, DE3423, 6411, 578, 211-2, 212-2, 3157, 1156, 1157, 921, 7443, and 7440.
