Finally Philips Technical responded ... to resolve different sites and packages and their website having conflicting info.
Philios WhiteVision 4,300K + 60% (note now says 3,700K on the latest packs).
The WhiteVision bulbs are rated at 3700k.
"Both values are correct. Due to the special gradient coating technology WhiteVision bulbs provide a color temperature of up to 4300 Kelvin in dedicated areas of the beam pattern on the road. The integral (overall) color temperature of the bulb is 3700 Kelvin. As the color in the beam pattern can vary, depending on the headlamp reflector design, we will use the integral color temperature for the future only. This is why we can have differing data on packaging boxes and data sheets for a short transition time. You received the new packaging where we had removed the 4300 Kelvin stamp."
Philips Extreme Vision + 130%
The kelvin rating for the Philips Extreme Vision + 130% is 3500K.
I know this was done to death but new data on packages and conflicting data on some web sites made it hard to evaluate.
Philips assure me this data is now correct.
I posted it here as it took them 4 weeks to confirm it. And 2 reminders.
( probably cos they were selling 3,700K bulbs as 4,300K )
