Philips
Automotive Lighting North America has introduced the new Philips CrystalVision
5000K, a powerful, high performance Xenon HID headlamp bulb that was
specifically developed as a lighting upgrade for vehicles equipped with Xenon
HID headlamp systems. Philips CrystalVision 5000K is the whitest, most brilliant
automotive headlamp bulb available on the market. It is designed to dramatically
improve driving vision at night by producing a light that is 25% whiter than
standard HID headlamp bulbs. While most Xenon HID headlamp bulbs operate at
color temperatures around 4,200ºK, Philips CrystalVision 5000K operates at
5,000ºK. As a result, the beam is much whiter and closer to daylight than the
light created by any other headlamp bulb. Philips CrystalVision 5000K bulbs are
street legal and DOT compliant. For more information check out
Since
1925, the pickup truck bed has been a catch-all for all you care to haul. With
the DAMARtm Truck Decktm there is new thinking in bed
storage and organization. The new DAMAR Truck Deck Workman Series features up to
six lockable storage compartments, depending on bed length, and is constructed
of durable aluminum diamond plate in varying thicknesses from light-duty .080"
to super-duty .1875". Designed to fit the exact size and shape of the bed it is
installed in, each of the Truck Deck's weather-resistant compartments is secured
with rotary T-handle latches and sealed with a neoprene rubber gasket. The DAMAR
Truck Deck, supported by a heavy-duty aluminum tubular frame that extends to the
sidewalls of the bed, can also be used as a hauling surface to maximize the
bed's storage capacity. The Truck Deck's storage containers can be easily
removed and taken into the job site. The DAMAR Truck is currently available for
Chevrolet/GMC, Ford, Dodge, Nissan and Toyota pickups. Installation and removal
is a quick and simple process requiring no tools and no assistance. For more
