Here's the latest (October 2009) bulb review by Autoexpress.

Cool thanks:thumb:

Have you had Osram nightbreakers in your car? If yes how do they compare?

(in case your math is bad. lol).

It isn't

Osram Night Brakers are crap. I have even had the rep come out to me to apolagise for they say they had a bad batch. I can tell you the china ones outlast the osram name by far

Well I've had no problems from nightbreakers so far....

They're OK until you try HID's...completely different league

I've never had any problems with any Osram products mine have always been awesome quality and as to nightbreakers mine are more than 3 years old and still work just as awesome as the day I bought them. And yes they don't compare to Xenons but you can't fit HID's in your high beams unless you want to replace them pretty damn often.:thumb:

I was actually referring to the quality, but yeah in terms of lighting for a car there isn't really any comparison between xenon and halogen.

Just to make the point a little bit more

And a bit more

I also put in these globes, they were fantastic, especially the colour, quite white. But my emphasis on the word "were". Cos the left side only lasted 1 week :banghead::banghead::banghead:

So I replaced both with Nightbreakers, must say The Zone globes looked much whiter then the Nightbreakers.

Although the Nightbreakers have a longer throw. Coe when I drive only with my fogs and I switch on my main beam, the main beam and fog shines the same distance.

Therefore, from my observation, the pro of the Nightbreaker is it's range but the con is its colour and vice versa for the The Zone Xenon look bulbs.
