I just charged the main beam bulb in my 5th gen with an Osram Nightbreaker and found that the previous owner had also fitted them. I always thought the headlights are pretty good for a 17 year old car.

I too have the nightbreakers in my lude and accord. They are superb in the dipped beam and even better in the main beam. The only downside with them and any other high output bulb is they tend not to last as long as a standard one.

I had Halfords vouchers from my birthday so decided to give the Halfords extreme brilliance bulbs a go. Pretty good I must say.

Others that are good are:

Philips x-treme vision
and as mentioned Osram night breakers unlimited
