Osram Nightbreakers get good reviews for dip beam. As yet, there is no upgrade bulb made by anyone, anywhere for the H15 main beam/DRL lamp.

Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Yeah correct - H7 bulbs needed. I prefer MTEC Bulbs - Brighter and last longer - I went for cosmic blue.

Just ordered a set of Mtec's after nipping down to a local garage to see what price for

The Osram's and to my horror they wanted £25.99 for them when they are £11.49 on eBay !!!

Do you have any pics of these?
If the Osrams do not match my sidelight LEDs I may put them in the wife's Leon and order the MTECS for mine
