I have used Osram nightbreaker unlimited in a few cars and they were good but not that special so what would you suggest ????

Halford`s ?
Phillips ?
Thoughts please and where to buy ?

Cheers Mart.

i've got osrams in my jetta, not bad but could be better,

phillips? about the same as osrams,

halfords? could do but not at £20+ per bulb,

if you've got projector headlights you could always go for the likes of nigheye's LED's.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

I have bought some depo angel eyes , they look great but still not bright , no different from the OEM.
I have some Osram nightbreaker unlimited coming soon so will let you know.
The council turn off lights after midnight until 05;30 in the most inapropriate places like after the m62 j28 for half a mile then full on again for another half mile past the White Rose Centre.
DICKS.

i've got the osram one's on my smoked headlights but led w5w's in the side lights & osram night breaker h3's in my smoked fogs,

the beam in nice & bright, a lot brighter than so,e other bulbs,

as for the council turning the street lights off?
i like driving on roads like that,

coming back to mansfield from seeing my son in mablethorpe most of the route is like that, till i get to lincoln then back to black again.

Long story short , I ended up with free H7 Night Riders, so I put them in last night and thought they looked great but would wait until the morning to have a good look.
@ 05;20 on a foggy/clear morning they were superb !!!!!!!
A different car to drive.

DONT BUY CHEAP BULBS !!

I've always said buy cheap buy twice.
Good quality bulbs properly aimed make all the difference.

I changed the bulbs to Nightrider unlimited laser next generation and they are superb :cool: :cool:
Even this morning in the wet they out performed most of the newer cars on the road so for £ 22 delivered they are a great asset.
