Which Headlight bulbs (Non Xenon) - Osram?

[James28]

Looking at getting a set of H7 uprated bulbs
Just wondering what people suggest, heard Osram are the best, but which bulbs from the Osram range do people recommend?
Phillips are good too am I right in thinking, again which particular set?

After a more Xenon look rather than standard yellowish!

I've got Nightbreakers which are epic. Better than Clio Xenon's IMO.

 

[James28]

So you reckon just the standard Orsam Nighbreaker Plus' , not the cool blue one's or anything like that?

I've used Nightbreaker Plus and Halfords Extreme Brilliance. Of these two Nightbreakers are cheaper if you cba to wait for delivery on Amazon and IMO seemed to give a wider/deeper spread of light at the same "whiteness" as the Halfords EB.

Neither even begin to stack up against the Factory Xenons on the Clio or an 08 Audi. Different league.



P.S. Blue looks pikey/chav/boy racer. Halfords sell blue sidelights, 'nuff said.

 

[Jon.G]

Yeah, Nightbreaker Plus are the ones.

 

[James28]

Cheers. I'll get them then.

I have heard that Nightbreakers had some issues and hence developing the Nightbreakers Plus

is everything sorted?

Could we have some pictures? I am thinking of doing the same

yeah the fault was that they didn't last i had an original set that lasted 6 months tops and i hardly drive the car

What about the new ones? Is there any warranty with them? I mostly drive at night and want to get my headlights working. I will be repairing the plastic lenses in a couple of weeks and want to see if i can get HID (Legal or not) or anything else that will look brighter than standard.

 

[Dink]

think the new ones last a lot longer but it with all filament lights the brighter they are the shorter amount of time they will last

they are brighter than the standard lamps that were in my polo so i'm more than happy with them

 

[James28]

I've ordered them today, Nightbreaker Plus ones. I'll give feedback once they're in.

How about a before and after picture? (Obviously need to put your camera on manual so it's doesn't auto adjust brightness & don't forget to tell us what was in there before?)

PIAA xtreme white. Much better and nicer light than Phillips Night breakers, but then again you pay for it with PIAA

Put Osram night breaker plus dip n full beam in mine yesterday and they're brilliant. Good, bright white light, really gives a crisp view of the road surface and enhances dips and bumps in the road ahead. Highly recommend. Hope this helps anyone , Jon
