Hi All,

I after a new bulb and I have done a search and found the

Philips X-treme power +80%

which has good reviews but has anyone tried the

Osram NightBreaker +90%

I'm unsure which one to buy because IMO I think they will be about the same.

Any info would help.

Thanks in advance

:thumbup:

I've used the Philips Xtremes and am very happy with them and I'd be surprised if there was a huge difference between them and the Osrams. I'd personally buy whichever of the two is cheapest/most available

I use the Philips Extreme's and am very pleased with them. They give a nice clear white light.

I use the Philips X-tremes in the MR2 and have just ordered a set of Nightbreakers for the Fabia.

The X-Tremes are excellent. Will report on the Nightbraekers when I fit them.

I put the Osram Nightbreakers in the Fabia today. A noticeable improvement over the Osram Silverstar bulbs that were in the car previously. I reckon these are the best H7 I have run in the Fabia.

I also run the Philips X-treme in the MR2 dipped beams and they are also excellent. Buy whichever is cheapest, both blow everything else out of the water IMO.

I got mine from Ebay supplier:

eBay UK Shop - Car Essentials: Compasses, Car Care, Fuel Additives

Excellent communications, immediate delivery, best price on the day.

They are also the shortest lifetime bulbs I have ever run, one going south today after 2 1/2 months. Car is used for work at least 5 days / evenings a week, but will stick with silverstars from now on.

EDIT: In the work car at least.

Another big up for Phillips Extremes

Any bulb being "over-run" relative to the normal one will have a shorter service life ie more light output = higher temperature = shorter service life. Thye are still worth using though.
