Nightbreakers - FXZ Steve - 02-06-2014
Thinking of changing the:
Dipped/Low Beams (H7)
Main/High Beams (H7)
Fogs (H1)
Side/Parking (W5W)
Upgrading to all OSRAM Night Breakers?
Anyone done this or any votes for/against?
Ty for reading
RE: Nightbreakers - Piggy - 02-06-2014
Fogs are pointless IMHO, dont do bugger all in the fog no matter what bulb is in there
Get some nice LED sides, about £2 inc postage for decent ones.
And a BIG thumbs up for them Nightbreakers in the headlights. Big difference. Just make sure you get the "plus" bulbs
RE: Nightbreakers - FXZ Steve - 02-06-2014
What about unlimited?

Im thinking of getting these, have you thought about changing the side lights too?
RE: Nightbreakers - Kezzieboy - 02-06-2014
Nightbreakers die very quickly in my experience. Personally I'd stump up the extra few quid for Philips extreme power.
Also, I think the fits are pretty useful, personally, driving over the moors where its foggy a lot of the time, they helped me massively.
RE: Nightbreakers - WiNgNuTz - 02-06-2014
Another vote for nightbreakers here, used them for a good few years now, never really had much of a problem with them dying quickly. I used them all round on the dt, although the fogs were wired with the "fogs on high beam" mod, so they were used fairly regularly.
RE: Nightbreakers - FXZ Steve - 02-06-2014
There's osram sidelights coming free with the night breakers too which making it that little but now appealing
? Not sure.. I'll have a check through more reviews when I get out of work cheers for the replies guys, if anyone has anymore pros/cons then please work away
RE: Nightbreakers - Piggy - 02-06-2014
Nightbreakers have NEVER failed for me.
Got a set of H4s I bought 6yrs ago for the ph1...they are now working in the mrs NAD
RE: Nightbreakers - FXZ Steve - 02-06-2014
It's looking promising for the NB's
RE: Nightbreakers - Kezzieboy - 02-06-2014
That's really odd, because my Xtreme power bulbs that I fitted aaaages ago are still going, but I've gone through about 4 nightbreakers in 2 years :/
RE: Nightbreakers - Toms306 - 02-06-2014
Another vote for nightbreakers here. Also never blown a set! In fact, if they survived the post, the ones in the angels I sold to Wingnuts are about 3 years old now...
RE: Nightbreakers - Niall - 02-06-2014
Night breakers are fantastic but i would say Phillips blue visions are just that bit better and have a 12 month warranty
RE: Nightbreakers - RetroPug - 02-06-2014
I run osram nightbreakers in my ph.1 and they made a huuuuuuuge difference over the previous generic bulbs.
They made bad phase 1 lights acceptably good, which is quite an achievement.
I have heard good things about the philips bulbs as well though, tbh all the high end bulbs get good reviews. The nightbreakers are good value for money though IMO my set were 11 pounds or something.

Yep, they survived postage, all work a treat.
RE: Nightbreakers - Toms306 - 02-06-2014
Cool. No idea what Kez must be doing to his then!
RE: Nightbreakers - FXZ Steve - 02-06-2014
Nightbreakers purchased guys
came with free OSRAM sidelights too..
RE: Nightbreakers - Tom - 02-06-2014
Also used nighbreakers i think they're awesome!
RE: Nightbreakers - THE_Liam - 02-06-2014
Just put a set in the Benz, massive improvement, which is important because even phase 1 306 headlamps are far better than the candles on a 190E...
RE: Nightbreakers - FXZ Steve - 02-06-2014
Cant wait to get these fitted now
thanks for all the help guys!

Never had trouble with my nightbreakers but I can never make led sidelights last they always melt in the light casing ;/
RE: Nightbreakers - FXZ Steve - 03-06-2014
Hmm thanks for the tip mate I'll keep an eye on them
RE: Nightbreakers - silverzx - 03-06-2014
Sorry so what fitment are phase 1 head light bulbs?

RE: Nightbreakers - Pete - 03-06-2014
Got nightbreakers in the van. Good improvement over standard but not as good as hids imo

I've had HID's fail on me twice in the 205 in the space of a year.
RE: Nightbreakers - FXZ Steve - 03-06-2014
Not sure about phase one mate, phase three is H7 fitment , go onto powerbulbs.com and it'll tell you the right fitment

Might be an idea to clean up and take the paint off his earths perhaps?

H4 main?
Are your mains separate bulbs? When you turn mains on it is a different bulb producing the light from next to the dipped? If so, twin-topic.
If not, it is one bulb for dipped and main.

Gotta be honest my last few sets have broke on me aswell, hence the Nightbreakers. Still prefer the light HID's throw out though thats what I meant
RE: Nightbreakers - Hajman - 04-06-2014
I've read how good they were on here before and thought I'd splash out on a set.
Best I've ever bought
Without a doubt
