rizel23 · 7th August 2015, 20:34

Have the bumper off so might as well change the light H7 light bulbs.

Going to get these sidelights:

Thanks all, but as I have the bumper off thought I'd get as much done this weekend, the bulbs are easier to change with the lights off or forward

OK in that case probably you could get night breakers (Osram) as lots of people rate them highly

Or indeed the Philips ones you have seen will be similar; certainly a good brand; would be interested to find out what you think

I bought the Phillips extreme vision ones last time and the bulbs only lasted three months!!! (we rarely go out at night with it as well), be warned!

Unless the extra brightness of the Nightbreaker or equivalent types is really needed for say regular driving on non-lit country roads, there are better alternatives for a longer life.

I have Philips Premium (+30%) in one 75 and Osram Ultralife in the other.

The Philips are in their 5th year and the Ultralife in their second. Both provide more than enough illumination.

Previouly, the nighbreakers lasted around 9 months.

My nightbreakers went (well one of them) in about 8 or nine months too.
Strangely I have H4s in another car that does more night time mileage and they have lasted over 2 years! Just you watch now, when I turn them on tonight ....
