Philips X-Treme Power or Osram Night Breaker

[pridders]

Hey All,

I am going to upgrade my main beam bulbs so the light matches the xenons a little better.  The question is Philips X-Treme Power or Osram Night Breaker which is best?

Ohh and what H# do I need to order? Thanks again guys for you excellent advise, the money is slowly draining from the savings account!

oo interesting, with it getting close to winter im tempted to upgrade these now too.

I'd personally say the Philips, though no doubt others will have a different opinion!   

If you have factory fit OEM Bi-Xenon HIDs, then the main beam is H7.  (And if you have the standard factory fit halogens, then both bulbs are H7, but the dipped is a special longlife version - H7LL). 

If you order from www.PowerBulbs.com, then they usually throw in a free pair of W5W "blue" side lamp bulbs too.  And PowerBulbs are arguably the best on-line bulb company.

I used powerbulbs before, good company quick delivery but i soon got bored and ordered a £200 xenon kit from japan lol

Definatly.  I remember when the only cars that used to have the cool blue headlights were Omega plad cars!  Good thread though, i have been loking at the OSRAM power breaker H7's but seems Phillips are the more popular....... (I should go with the Osram just to be diffierent )

I've been thinking of doing this for a while. I take it I'll need a set of H7's for dipped, a set for main and the W5W sides to get the full benefit?

How easy are they to fit?
