Gazjs Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 It took me ages to pick out and go for Osram Cool Blue, I fitted these just before the summer, and one has blown already :( So, im looking just now at going for either Osram Night Breaker Plus or Phillips Blue Vision 4000K. Does anyone have any experience with said bulbs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordpartsman Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 i know that it doesnt apply to your car, but it may be worth fitting the headlamp bulbs resistors i mentioned in the headlamp bulb thread for the mk7 in the fiesta section of the forum, this may eliminate any voltage surges, which may be the result of your blowing bulbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Leak Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 It took me ages to pick out and go for Osram Cool Blue, I fitted these just before the summer, and one has blown already :( So, im looking just now at going for either Osram Night Breaker Plus or Phillips Blue Vision 4000K. Does anyone have any experience with said bulbs? I've fitted OSRAM Night Breakers into my Fiesta Mk.6 (H4) and a girlfriend's Focus Mk.2 (H7 & H1) and the results were impressive with my single headlights, and little short of phenomenal with her twin headlights. More blue-white light, longer beam, less eyestrain. Highly recommended. I also took the opportunity to replace both cars' sidelights with OSRAM "Cool Blue" halogen W5W bulbs, which give the same blue-white light and the same light output as a 21W filament bulb. They also do normal filament ones, so make sure you get the right ones, which look like little headlight bulbs with pointy ends. Also, get the headlight dip checked and, if necessary, adjusted, not only to get the most out of your investment, but also to ensure they don't dazzle oncoming drivers. Mine was set way too low. They are all (touch wood) still going, despite the cold weather, which always takes its toll on headlights. Driving home from work yesterday, the number of oncoming cars with just one headlight was noticable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazjs Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 Sounds like the Night Breakers are the ones to go for then. I see there is now Night Breaker Plus available. But at £23 a pair they come in quite expensive. Where about did you source your bulbs? I am seeing a lot of the one headlight about just as well, just now i have one yellow and white white/blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they weren't the new longer life "Plus" ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazjs Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 Thanks, looking at eBay. The "plus" bulbs are an extra fiver. Wonder if they warrant it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The headlights on mine feel more like torches than headlights :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do a search on your fitment and see of they turn up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
