mixmasterlooney 843 Posted March 3, 2014 Exactly what I need!! After one of my Philips has failed 6 months in I'm starting to think they were fakes Sent from my automated robot M1X-M4573R-700N3Y 1 Hyrule reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leesheffield 13 Posted March 3, 2014 Hmm I'm wondering what to do now. Got osram night breakers at Moment. They are awesome for road coverage but they aren't white enough for my liking. Maybe might get some when budget allows and will keep for when the night breakers blow. Lee 1 Hyrule reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hyrule 762 Posted March 3, 2014 Keep your nightbreakers. I had diamondvisions in before, grew to dislike them, so put the nightbreakers back in. Definitely gonna get some cool blue intense at the end of this month. After kurts and others experiences, osram all the way for me. 1 ed12 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomo91 24 Posted March 4, 2014 Yes I have recently put cool blue intense in my focus along with the cree 6000k sidebulbs which look mint, it's a nice bright white light now! Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app 1 Hyrule reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aldoo 31 Posted March 4, 2014 my osrams blew after a year - but i covered 15-20k miles so i have no problem with a performance bulb blowing after that long i replaced it with the philips and i have to say that i much prefer the osram! it seemed a much cleaner and brighter light no news on lifespan as its only been a couple months, but i think even if it lasted twice as long id still go for the osrams!

mixmasterlooney 843 Posted March 4, 2014 On my previous car I installed osram bulbs. Sold the car with them after 1 year and throughout the entire period I was most pleased with performance. My focus had stock osram bulbs no probs, then I decided to try the Philips bulbs and I am disappointed tbh, light output was good but life span wasn't, going back to osram. Comparing mine to ben there is a clear difference Sent from my automated robot M1X-M4573R-700N3Y 1 Hyrule reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luke.grimbley 75 Posted March 4, 2014 Got the Philips to replace my Osrams. They have already outlasted so for that alone I prefer them. 1 Hyrule reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dannyRJ13 24 Posted March 5, 2014 Google images-wise I think I prefer the look of the Philips Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DMB1 1 Posted May 5, 2014 Looking to get the cool blue intense's. Browsing on ebay, they seem a lot cheaper than power bulbs etc. Can any one recommend a seller which sell genuine ones on ebay? Also looking at replacing the side lights. Looking at the forums people use the t10 led bulbs. Are these officially road legal? Also can someone also recommend a seller for these, that are a good match for the osrams. Thanks Mark... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tomo91 24 Posted May 5, 2014 Amazons the cheapest place to get the cool blues mate Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DMB1 1 Posted May 5, 2014 Cheers for the links. I take it they were genuine from amazon then. Any suggestions on the side light bulbs then? Mark... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aldoo 31 Posted May 8, 2014 not got them yet, but I'm sure they will be :) and I had cool blue side lights too led sidelights do look smart - but they get too hot and cause that multicolour pulsing effect you sometimes see so I prefer normal bulbs instead Sent from my Nexus 7 using Ford OC mobile app 1 DMB1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
