Headlight bulbs modification.

[veezard]

Night Breaker is like Xtreme vision slightly below 4k kelvin, Diamond vision is 5k quite white already, so far lucky no stop by authority.....lol

BTW i just got info from my fren that Osram NBU got a lot of imitation in Malaysia market. Most likely made in China but carries "ori" made in Germany logo.
So far have any one tried both the osram NBU & philips xtreme vision before? Can please give comment.
Thanks.

I've used both. Osram is slightly more yellow and based on the feedback I got, there were a few people who had some bad units that broke after 2-3 weeks of use.

I'm on Philips now and it's good when new. After 2 years it starts to get a bit dim. In fact right now it's so dim I want to change it out. But I guess 2 years is a long time anyway.

WoW!, 2 years is good enough for me. (do you go out alot at night?) I also heard alot of review stating Philips bulb are good but alot of imitation in our market. What about PIAA northern star white?
Any one tried these new bulb b4? My fren was telling me is much better then Philips xtreme +100% but more expensive.

Where did you place the Osram night breaker unlimited (is it yellow/white:kelvin?) and philips diamond.
Was there a before and after effect? did you see the differences on brightness during night drive?

Obtain my Osram unit last year during KL International Motor Show from Osram booth themselves.
It is yellow with very minimal white.

Yup, Diamond vis beam are strong but it is in major white. You might no difference when raining because our eyes are used to yellow beam. I do find it a little aggressive when looking at my car from sitting in others. lol

I am using Phillips Crystal Vision 4300k for close to 2yrs already. Is quite white i would say but not as white as the 5000k. But to me, i think is not bright enough. Maybe coz my headlights are smoked. So planning to change to Diamond Vision 5000k later on.

If the auto show exhibitor is Osram, of course they are selling original Osram bulbs! Cheaper depends on whether they are giving a promo price. Otherwise sometimes the shops outside can be cheaper

No la bro vr2turbo.....

The car came stock with smoke headlights. I change bulbs. The first bulb was the Crystal Vision. After change already then only realize that i find it not bright enough maybe coz of the smoke headlight. So now want to change to Diamond lor. But use Crystal first la. Until burn only change.....
