Osram nightbreakers unlimited. Excellent bulbs!

HID kit

Thanks guys are the HIDS easy to fit ?

 

[Andyman]

I bought one last week for the ph1 and everything was straight plug and play, impossible to go wrong. Took a few minutes to install, hardest bit was making sure the ballasts were strapped down.

Also bought those cree sidelight bulbs which are ten fold brighter than the standard ones.

I've got these in my Ph1 172.

HID kit: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200962964560

I found the bulbs a bit too blue so bought a whiter bulb replacement as I couldn't find a cheap 5000k kit. These are the replacement bulbs:

I also got some Cree sidelight and full beam bulbs:

thought ph1 main beam bulbs are h1?

 

[Marc2014]

Main bean H1 or Alternative Number R448

Dipped H7 or Alternative Number R477

I work in a Car Parts Place And The Amount Of People Ask For Main Headlight Bulbs When they Actually Mean DIPPED is Amazing Must Be 9/10

I was going off this thread:

[Andyman]

HB3 dipped, H7 high beam is definitely right as per that link ^^

 

[llgsimpson]

Osram Night breakers 100% without going HID, dont go cheap with headlights, been there and regreted it big time

 

[koi]

How long are the Osram nightbreakers lasting for you guys? Had the normal ones and the gold ones and neither last more than 10 months.

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Another vote for the Osram nightbreakers if not going down the HID kit route

Great bulbs. Used them in a few cars, last well in my experience of them

 

[ben lee]

my mistake they are h7 was thinking both main and fogs where h1s its just fogs.

 

[davo172]

hid if not Philips bluevision ultra , nightbreakers are average at best .

 

[cat171]

Another vote here for night breakers.

I had these in my ph1 (will be for sale soon ), they are brilliant, so much better than any standard bulb replacement and probably cheaper too.

Crisp white light, perfect aim through the projectors, I couldn't of been happier for the price!

And should add these loom clip to connect HID kits are so easy to fit I don't see why not if you already have projector lenses.

Guys, what are the bulbs like to change on a 172 Cup? My NSF dipped beam has gone so need to replace, can get Ring Ultimate Xenon or whatever they're called cheap off a mate so going with those, probably do both dip & main beam while I'm at it but want to know how easy/hard a job it is?

Not massively hard mate, might be a bit of a squeeze if you've got big hands & a bit diddly but still just a plug & play job.

+1 for osram breakers, changed the OEM ones in my 200 to these & they're a fair bit better tbh.

 

[BuCkLeY...]

Osram night breaker unlimited, are they slightly white. I want ones which have a whitish output but want to stay road legal and keep some performance

 

[Dink]

there is a limit to how white you can go with filament lamps.

i'd say osram nightbreakers are one of the best road legal lamps you can get

 

[BuCkLeY...]

Would u say osram have a noticeable difference on standard lamps? I only have normal headlights and just wana change bulb not Hid things, insurance bad enough as it

 

[Dink]

i have them in my polo and are miles better than the lamps they replaced.

i have had people flash me on unlit roads flash me. they are not as white as HID lamps but probably as close as you can get.
