Nightbreakers are good but no where near as good as Phillips blue vision (dont worry, there not these gay blue headlights). Blue visions are more expensive but have a 12 month warranty and are definitely worth the extra £10 especially on full beam |

I usually use the normal osram ones sold in shell garages. I then got some nightbreakers and didn't notice enough difference to warrant the cost. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

Well both my cars have 8000k H.I.D's in the dip and I have Ring main beams in the 6 and their bright enough to cut through the hid and give a very good spread. Lasted 2.5 years in my 6 before popping one. Will be buying some for the hdi next month.________________________________________ Black power baby!
