Keep standard halogen Philips automotive light bulbs on hand

Many customers just need a simple, inexpensive Philips car light, so be sure to keep your store well-stocked with such items. Halogen lights are standard in the automotive lighting world, and most Philips headlamp vendors charge between $3 and $8 for them.

I recommend: Obtain an automotive 12V Philips halogen bulb from Genesis Lamp for $3 to $8. Ideal TrueValue sells 12V halogen lights for $5 to $7.

Consider stocking Philips headlamps that give off more light

For those who want more light from each bulb, the Philips Hi-Visibility is the perfect product. Xenon gas helps the bulb give off about 30% more light than a typical Philips bulb, making driving at night safer for a slightly higher price. Philips Hi-Visibility bulbs cost about $9 to $13.

I recommend: SUVLights.com sells Philips Hi-Visibility bulbs for $11 to $13. You also can buy Hi-Visibility bulbs at bulbs.com for $9 to $11. Buying 6 or more at a time can save you $1 to $2 per bulb.

Purchase stylish Philips automotive lighting for your store

Many drivers enjoy the stylish look that Philips blue headlights give their cars. During the day, such lights are bright white and increase visibility, while at night the lights appear blue. Most Internet stores sell them for $8 to $10.

I recommend: Service Lighting sells the Philips Blue Vision light for $8 to $10, as does eLightBulbs.

Try Philips automotive lights for yourself

The Internet has a number of sites that sell Philips automotive light bulbs, though sometimes they can be hard to find. Many sites will ask you for the make and model of your car before showing a choice of manufacturers. However, some websites have advanced search functionality that allows you to find a Philips headlamp for yourself.

I recommend: Find several sites that allow you to search for a single brand, like Philips auto lights. They are out there, like Bulbs.com and Autolamps Online. Spend some time on both sites finding the prices of Philips car lightbulbs and getting the best deal. This may be a business research project, but there is no reason to overpay.

Familiarize yourself with the various types of Philips automotive lighting

A Philips car light comes in several different types, each with unique features that you may not be expecting. Philips has automotive lighting to help those who struggle to see at night, help prevent blinding drivers coming from the opposite direction, and help to improve visibility during bad weather.

I recommend: The Internet is a great place to learn about new technologies. Use the various review and information sites to learn about Philips automotive lighting options and perhaps purchase a few bulbs to test them out yourself. Two sites to check are SUVLights.com, which has a good write-up of the benefits of the Philips WeatherVision bulb, and Philips' own site, which offers a good explanation of Philips Blue Vision lights.

Buy Philips automotive lighting wholesale to build your inventory

Use the Internet for research and as a tool for communication with various manufacturers of Philips headlamps. Most of these products are manufactured outside the country, but there are several sites that will put you in contact with representatives of the factories producing them.

I recommend: Start with TradeKey.com. The site requires a free login to do business, but browsing can be done without logging in. This is a great site for locating manufacturers and it does have a listing for Philips automotive lighting. Also, GlobalSources has a direct contact form with a company in India that has manufactured Philips automotive lighting that you can fill out if you are trying to buy product.
