osram nightbreakers or philips xtreme vision?
« on: 07 April 2014, 12:31 »
Just picked my golf up around 2 weeks ago and itching to start making little mods. In my old car i just bought some " ebay specials"  had a slight blue tint to the bulb with some led sidelights.   for ages people have been saying its osram and philips are the best options.

whats peoples thoughts?  Wanting the nearest xenon look i can get without the price of fittings xenons or aftermarket hids.. In the past i blew my bcm with "crappy" hids so staying well away from them..

what do i go for??? :rolleyes:

I have used both the nightbreakers and extreme vision, not much to choose between them in my opinion, nightbreakers get a lot of positive comments.

Interestingly I was sorting out some of my spare bulbs the other day and found some Ring Xenon plus and they have exactly the same manufacturer as the night breakers, so might be worth think about these also.

I had extreme visions installed on the gti and wouldn't rate them at all, vision and colour was woeful!

Got the diamond visions bought soon after and much better light output! nice blue and white tinge very close to 6000k hids without bein too boy racer like :)

I swapped out my stock bulbs with the night breakers from my old outgoing Cupra R and they are nice and clear, much better than before. Need to find some matching sidelights though, as they are still yellow... Bleyuuuurgggh...
