Right, the Osram Night Breakers are fitted.
First impressions, Dip beam - not anywhere near so yellow as the original bulbs. The beam is longer, wider, brighter (not a huge amount) and more defined at its extreme length. Main beam - this is where they really show up as an improvement. When switching from dip to main you can visibly see the light a LOT brighter than the dip beam. The length of beam is also increased.

As I do a lot of dark lane driving where there is very little traffic this was a worthwhile change. I was always concerned about deer darting out into the lane and me not seeing it. I don't think that will be an issue now.

I've put them in my Mrs BMW E46 and they are a big improvement in that!

I wish I did it years ago!
