Title: Headlights (again)
Post by: Fin on March 28, 2017, 21:11
Once again, I have blown a headlight bulb   s:? :? s:?   So now I have no spares (I usually carry at least one in the glove compartment.)
I have been using Osram Nightbreakers, and I am happy to stick with them. I see they have one I haven't noticed before, the Laser.
Has anyone tried it? I am wondering about life expectancy, and brightness. At this price, I am happy to use them if they're any good:

Any feedback/reviews gratefully received   s:) :) s:)

I have them in the MG ZR. In my opinion absolutely the best "normal" bulbs on the market.  Difference when I fitted them was like night and day (Pun intended)

Ok, thanks. Consider them ordered.

Have to be careful - many of these bulbs aren't MOT friendly in the UK. The Rallye's are off-road bulbs so not road legal.
I've got nightbreaker lasers in mine.
