OSRAM H7 NIGHTBREAKER PLUS

Post by **paul bristol uk** » Thu Sep 20, 2012 9:37 am

Any 4th gen owners using these and would you recomend them. Went out last night and I had forgotten just how crap my headlights were. With the darker nights now is the time to change.

PS No silly remarks about changing to a 5th gen or I will delete your post!!!!!

but dont these high output bulbs burn out quicker?

are these the high beam bulbs? H7 - I've never bothered to upgrade these as you hardly get to use them. Only upgraded the H4's before.

never used the nightbreakers for main beam but when i had them fitted on the dipped beam one side burnt out after 5/6 months and the other in about 8 months so not great there but they were definatley brighter than what was in before though.

They have a warning on the packet telling you that they burn brighter but shorter. I used them as my dipped beam bulbs before I switched to projectors and HIDs and can only recommend them. The normal 4G lights really are candles in jam jars

Philips X-treme Vision +100% do the job for me. Seem to last me 1-2 years. Extremely bright and and pure 'brilliant' white colour.

Plus you can use a paperclip to burn the other filament on the dipped beam bulb when the first filament dies (on a 4th anyways). SInce the bulb is obscured within the headlamp lens, it's completely legal and will pass any MOT. That trick effectively doubles the lifespan

Are the main beam bulbs and dipped beam bulbs in a 5th gen Lude H7's then

as the Euro Car Parts website show them as H1's

I quess it's worth upgrading all 4 bulbs then is it
