Nightbreakers
#1
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 Smile

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 ThumbsUp

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.

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. Wink

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 :/

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...

Night breakers are fantastic but i would say Phillips blue visions are just that bit better and have a 12 month warranty

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.

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...

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

H4 main?
It depends if you have twin-optic headlamps or single optics on your phase 1.

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 Smile

I've read how good they were on here before and thought I'd splash out on a set.
Best I've ever bought
