Osram night breaker plus h7 bulbs

Morning All,

I was thinking of replacing my bulbs with the above, has anyone used them before or is there a better recommendation. While I am on the subjects of lights, I was looking at options for fog/day time running lights ???? Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks upfront....

Not sure about the H7 type, but I had Nightbreakers on my Sprint and liked them. Think they were H4. They couldn't compensate for a lousy beam pattern, but the brightness was very good. I would use them again.

I got some cheap LED spots off eBay and fitted them a while ago. I'll post pics and details when I get back to a proper computer.

Thanks for the replies, it would seem they are better than the standard one's in the headlight now. I think I will give them a go, and use the old one's for spares.

Thumbs up

Just a update, I did get the bulbs and changed the old one's out.
I can sys that they are much brighter and good for day light running, much whiter and better at night. Keeping the old one's for spare for popping over the channel. I can recommend them, and it takes 10 minutes to swap them over with nimble fingers.

On the strength of this I ordered one to give it a whirl.
