Hi my lights at night are not the greatest so I ordered some osram night-breakers 150% brighter, but there are no brighter at all so sent them back.

Any other suggestions or do I just buy Hids.
Thanks

Don't buy HID unless you have a proper hid based projector retrofit.
Hid have a different light source in the bulb itself compared to halogen and scatter the light wrong and causes massive glare.

Are your headlights clean or hazy. 4th Gen lights arnt the best.

The new era of LED based light bulbs are designed to be a direct replacement for halogen bulbs and don't cause glare. However expensive and the have some bulk on the rear of the bulb due to the fan.

If you are willing to spend try the morimoto 2stroke 2.0 h4.

I use the 9006 bulbs in my s660s high beam (low beams are oem led projectors and I'll be buying a set of h1 for my prelude high beams. They are excellent.

I put Osram Cool Blue Boost 80w in my dipped beam and cheap chinese over the top brighter than the sun LED's in the main beam. I have just polished the lens and this seems to work ok on a 5th gen.
