OSRAM NIGHTBREAKER bulbs?

[Holidazed]

has anyone used these bulbs before or know anything about them?

they look alot brighter than most of the halogen bulbs I have seen for sale online and they are only available from Europe. I did a google search and the beam pics look alot bringhter than any Silverstars or similar brands.

it looks like theres a bluish tint on those? id stay away from anything with colours besides white. If you want blue/purple go HID like i did....and if these are saying 90% more light than halogen their probably even more blinding than my hid's! PIAA's seem to be the best halogen based upgrade from what i hear.

the pics i found on google look pretty white:

nightbreaker's on the left.

theres quite a big prioce difference between these and the piaa's. and a huge difference in the price of HID's.

Osram is the ****. I LOVE their bulbs. i had the + 50% H4's on my 240 and WOW, i was really impressed.

I would ALWAYS stay away with anything with a blue tint as you only get the white "hid" look, but in reality less light coming out to light up the raod. generally stick with non tinted bulbs as you get more light coming out to see better at night.

BUT these are different as only a portion of the actual bulb is tinted, so it's like the best of both worlds.. if they made them in the 9004's i think i would pick up a set to try it.

I decided to try them out and just ordered a pair from Ebay UK for $27 Canadian.

It should take a week or 2 to get them but I'll post up pics when they arrice.

The bulbs aren't as blue as the pictures I found online prior to buying them, but they are quie a bit brighter and whiter than stock. distance is further (the box claims up to 35 meters farther). and they were cheap, deffinatly worth the $26.

I'm going to have to pick up a a set for myself. I am due to change my light bulb. They are a bit dim. The light look greater.
