Best Bulbs
« on: 05 November 2012, 20:26 »
Winter sucks, its dark and I do a lot of long distances both at night and in the morning before the old gal rises. So... best bulbs to replace my slightly yellow poopy standard bulbs in the audi a4 b5

Phillips or Osram bulbs are good.
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Someone mentioned Osram night breakers to me the other day... are they good?

I had phillips before I bought my xenons and they where a massive improvement on the candle bulbs before and the osram's are meant to be as good. About £30 a pair a couple years ago.

Osram seem to have longevity issues so I may go Philips

The Nightbreaker plus are supposed to last much longer and the H7's are only £13 a pair on amazon atm.

I've got a set of nightbreaker pluses in the mk2, mk4 and my girlfriend's 206 and all are getting on for 2 years old now without any issues.
