Autobulbs Direct are gauging interest to see if it is worth them chasing one of the major manufacturers to produce a replacement..

Quote from: Autobulbs Direct
Basically we wanted to know what you guys think about upgrade bulbs for H15 which is the High beam and your DRL day running lights

This has been brought up a few times recently but these are very rare and clearly we would want a quality product.
Our issue is if we do this with Ring or the like we will have a minimum order of over 500 so need to know you guys would be interested as its mainly for you!

If we get hold of white bright upgrade bulbs how many of you would be interested?

I would say there would be lots of interest as there is nothing else out there to replace our yellow DRL's.

Do we need to sign up and add our interest to that thread?

The more people who support this the greater the chance that they will produce one, when I found it there had only be 7 responses.
Yes you do need to sign up, but it is not an onorous task and there is some useful information on there.

I recently changed dipped beam bulbs for Osram Nightbreaker +90, made a big improvement. I also emailed Osram and asked if they do an H15 upgrade, but they said no.

From here - http://www.powerbulbs.com/store/category/car-bulbs/fitting/h7-499
Make sure that you don't touch the glass on the bulb or they will blow.
