Osram 65 watts H7 Super Bright Halogen Bulbs - off road use only

**Tiggy** · 27-08-2012, 12:57 AM

Would like to hear feedback from members who have installed this halogen bulb. Can I replace my stock H7 bulb with this without "burning" my headlamp and related wiring?

Are iridium spark plugs installed in the 2.0 TSI? Would changing the spark plug - hotter or colder, improve performance and fuel economy?

VW will have spent plenty of time selecting the standard plugs, unless yours were worn out, there'd be no measurable improvement in swapping them.

Yes you can use them with no problems.

I have them in my regular and high beam housing and have had no problems so far (2 years)

Hi mate,
welcome to the Tig community! I have these in my low beams, but have Narva "Plus 100" in high-beam. The Osrams give much better "spread" than OE globes, but not so good over long distance IMO, hence why I got the Narva's for high. Same wattage as original, so no dramas with electrics either (very finicky in Tig's, as many will testify)
