Headlight / DRL / Foglight / Park light bulb replacement

[TeamCrash]

So what does everyone recommend for replacements???

Philips Xtreme Vision
Philips Crystal Vision
OSRAM NIGHT BREAKER PLUS

I'm not after the full blind the on-coming cars but definitely what a clearer and whiter look close to xenon as possible...

i have had crystal vision and night breaker plus, have to say night breaker is one of the high output h7 blubs i have ever used suppose to have longer life too. However i have had flashes from oncoming traffic from the night breakers hence i have lowered the aim of the beam ever since.

So is that because they are more whitish in colour or just aimed wrongly? Also why did you change from the crystal vision???

[azn_007]

night breakers definitely penetrate further and is considerably brighter then crystal visions and due to the whiteness of crystal visions its really quite bad in the rain in my experience. As for aim i guess the night breaker were too bright for the level i set my crystal visions at.

Which one do you reckon had a more "xenon" look to it??

Interesting...

So does anyone know anything about PIAA bulbs?

I installed the Nightbreaker Plus, for about 12 months ago now, and they are brighter than the standard bulbs, but I actually expected a greater difference. One has just blown, so I don't know if 12 months is exactly longer life, or my one is just an odd one out.

I also had people flash at me, but I think what confuses people is the drl's are still on with the normal beams, giving the impression that you have high beams on, as 2 lights are visible in each headlight unit (if you get what I mean). I have found some cars with xenons to be much more distracting to on-coming traffic that the light output from the Osrams.

12 Months is not long at all!

that must only be the GTIs then as my parkers are only on not the DRL bulbs when headlights are on

Might be, The GTI use a dual-filament H15 bulb for the high beam and drl. Only found out because I was looking to upgrade the high beam as well, but only oem available, unless that's changed recently.
