Headlamp upgrade

#1 Post by Tonyunn » Wed Mar 13, 2013 10:02 am

Just got a pair of these:
Osram 64210NBP H7 Night Breaker Plus Headlight Bulb 12 V 55 W (Twin Pack)

I will let you know after I fit one on Saturday how it looks and see if I can see a difference.

£12 from Amazon
Speed Blue SL 1000 Falco

Fitted those (or equivalent at the time) Osram bulbs a couple of years ago; noticeable difference, especially on dip. Also noticed a difference in daylight - oncoming vehicles flashing their lights at me & angty-looking drivers.

Least they saw you

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Done it, 15 minutes, losing count now of the jobs I have done by touch because I can't see the part, headlamp tucked away nice and deep.

Anyway worked and does look brighter to me, will wait until I can take it out for a proper road test.

Philips x-treme vision +100 appear to be the best regular bulbs on the market at the moment. Though the Osrams come close.
