This is the first objective testing I've seen for car light bulbs. Others have only been subjective with questionable inconsistencies in testing conditions. Tests were very extensive and thorough too. Well done.
Having had both the osram and the Philips I can say that the Philips are a whiter light and last longer than the osram. The osram lasted 6 months, the Philips are still in just over 1 year later.
I bought a set of Osram Nightbreakers for my Megane. Literally just the other day one died at just a little over 18 months. Given the OE bulbs lasted YEARS that's not great. Light output was OK but no discernable difference over the factory fit H7s.
I had those Philips also in my car and they lasted almost 2 year even promised on box 450 hour lifetime. Much whiter light dunno are those more luminous but at least you can see light better instead regular more yellow light tone.
Finally a fair review. Let's not forget when they fool us with "150% more light" that all bulbs have a maximum lumen rating by ECE that producers should adhere to.
The failure mode of the Hella bulb is typical of filament lamps used in vehicle applications. The vibration causes the filament to break and the filament to move around with further vibration. This continued movement often causes the broken filament to reconnect and "weld" itself back together. Thus creating a shorter filament with lower resistance, higher current and higher light output - until the filament finally burns out again or breaks.
I so nearly bought a new set of Osram bulbs for my megane... glad I found your video as you've saved me a lot of money! Awesome stuff, you're an amazing valuable content supplier!
Very scientific tests, great job. So many online reviews are from someone who bought a bulb and is compared to their old, worn out bulbs. Great videos and great information, bravo bro!
The Osram NightBreaker lasers that I had, lasted 2 weeks. With less than 500 km of driving on asphalt roads in decent condition, I don't think I'll ever buy anything by Osram. Sent them email and the only reply I got was "Well, they shouldn't really break _that_ quickly." Nothing else. I really should've made them give me new ones or just pay me back but I was extremely busy back then and didn't really have the time nor the energy to anything about it. Just bought a different pair of bulbs and went on with my life.
After many years I was using the night breaker series in H4 and H1, I decided to try out H7 Philips Racing vision gt200 one in projector lamps for low beam and reflector as high beam. The difference is quite high in my opinion. For the endurance I will watch it, since I use at least low beam day and night. Especially for high beam the Philips version is a great advance, I can definitely recommend it. I have a 2005 Chevrolet Lacetti which was equipped with H4 lamps. I am still a bit disappointed of their lighting ability, so I replaced them by original Suzuki Reno headlights which fit perfectly to the Daewoo/Chevrolet model. Only the connectors had to be adjusted. Thank you for the great video!
real-life experience with H7 Osram Night Breaker vs Philips 130+ in reflection based headlamps: - both have basically the same light, but give just a bit more visibility than normal H7s - i bought 2 pairs of Osrams, these lasted 3 months and 4 months. on each pair the bulbs burned-out one after the other in a 1 week interval/offset - after Osram i moved on to Philips 130+. i am using now the 3'rd pair of Philips, the first pair lasted 8 months(8 months 1'st bulb, and 9 months the 2'db bulb), the others burned-out after more than 11 months, with higher offset burn-out between the bulbs on each pair. so...philips all the way for me
Yes, it is just like an old 60 watt incandescent home light bulb you bought in the 1990s. The light output is the same, no matter which brand you opted for at the shops. If a driver wants a beer lighting and illumination experience, just buy a newer 2020s car with LED or laser headlights.
After searching at least 10 other headlight bulb videos thinking I was never going to find the one that I wanted I stumbled across this video and it’s perfect every aspect of the information provided was justified thank you so much for making it
Finally a comparison!! I changed my OEM H4 2 years ago against .. Osram NIGHT BREAKER UNLIMITED H4 (checked my orders) :D and it is for sure better. Strangely the low beam is more yellow like while the high beam is more white... But Philips might be even better once my osram dies. Have it now about 15000km on my motorcycle.
Resumindo para os brasileiros, sobre a claridade. Philips > Osram > Hella > Super Branca , ele testou o Xenon de 55W também, diferente dos que vendem aqui no Brasil que são de 35W e clarou mais do que todas as lâmpadas do teste. Porém se for para compararmos as homogêneas que foi o motivo que me fez vir aqui a Philips em primeiro lugar, e a Osram em segundo lugar, e ambas humilham essas super brancas que vendem por aqui.... vlw
I don't think it was a problem with the power supply. It was the bulb burning out. Sometimes normal home light bulbs go out the same way. I guess it's because the filament somewhere gets thinner and this means it gives out more light. For a very little while, because as you said, this causes the temperature to rise dramatically in that part of the filament and it burns out. So you could include the result from Hela.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. The editing, commentary, detail of tests, quality, and your personal intelligence are top notch. Just enjoyed your video over dinner. This is only the second video of yours that I’ve watched, I look forward to seeing them all. In regards to this video, I was surprised that there’s still an aftermarket for halogen, when anyone who’s looking for brighter light, can just purchase a cheapo $30 HID kit online even though those kits are terrible with quality and glare, your average consumer who isn’t knowledgeable will never know/care. I remember back in the early 2000’s, before aftermarket HID’a were even available, there was a HUGE aftermarket for Halogen bulbs. When I got my license and first car in 2004, I remember going to the local parts store and picking us a set of the “Silverstar” bulbs. They were expensive too! I think they were about $70 or $80 which is well over $100 in today’s money. I remember being so excited to see anything cooler in temp than the usual very yellow halogen. To my disappointment, they only appeared slightly less yellow, but I remember still being so excited to have something close to all the new expensive luxury cars driving around with HID’s. Only 2 years later, in 2006, I bought my first aftermarket HID kit, and was amazed at the difference. They went into reflector housings, and even though I was aware they gave off terrible glare, I tried to aim them as low as possible to stop the glare from blinding people. It still didn’t work as I got flashed constantly. This is what pushed me to get more into lighting because i wanted better light, but without blinding people. That’s when I really got into projectors, and later that year (in 2006) I bought a used BMW 3-Series, and finally was able to have OEM Xenon projectors, which I later modded and did a retrofit of some Acura projectors. Anyways, my point here is by watching this video, you took me back in time to when I was a teen, and that feeling of hoping my new halogen bulbs will look “blue like the nice cars” 😂😂😂😂 Anyways, keep up the great content and take care.
@@SergiuGabor In Australia, drop in HID or LED upgrade kits are illegal to use for road cars used on public roads. An Australian car can be upgraded with HIDs as long as this was a factory option when the car was new, the headlight washers must be present and functional, and the performance of the upgraded HIDs must be identical to the original factory HID option. Simply put, for the most part, a proper and legal HID upgrade is just not worth it due to the cost and bother involved. 🦘🇦🇺
Ma bucur mult ca ai ramas 'Tu'. Agreabil in prezentare si foarte ingenios si practic. Te felicit sincer ! P.S. Randul urmator te rog sa supui testului si brandul Narva Power Range +50, dupa indelungi experiente cu Hella si Philips, il consider cel mai serios si mai fiabil de pe piata.
More than 10 years ago in Sweden, my Toyota Hilux had glass lenses (not plastic). In that car I had Philips 100/140W H4’s (yes, they were illegal…). In combination with 3 Bosch Navigators in the front as well 6 driving lights at roof level (all Philips 100W) I had enough light in front of the car to reach ~2500 meters of light in front of the car at night. With that experience I still favor H4 & H3 light bulbs to modern LED’s. …and seeing your tests of old school bulbs for reflector headlights versus LED replacements there’s no question I will remain the old school kind of guy.
Super fain episodul. Un singur detaliu legat de testul tau pe care l-am găsit când căutăm informații despre becurile astea mai performante. Pe farurile cu oglinda diferențele sunt mult mai vizibile între un bec normal și unul din gamele performante, pe când pe farurile cu lupa diferențele sunt minore spre deloc, după cum ai putut observa și tu. Succes in continuare!
You have no idea how useful is this video...especially for a girl. Hi there and thank you from the bottom of my "I have no idea what to buy for my car". New subscriber here ^_^
Mulțumesc pentru apreciere. Din păcate, in momentul de față, timpul nu imi permite să mă dedic mai mult canalului, dar in viitor daca acesta va crește, cu siguranță voi posta mai des.
You are 100% right. Especially with the stress test, in a real-life, I had changed 3 times more the OSRAM bulbs on my bike in comparison with the Philips!!! Actually, I was not very happy with the Osram NightBreaker in comparison with the Philips.
I've fitted Philips racing vision six months ago in my 05 corolla, really pleased with the results but only last 6 months. It's a pain to fit them and they are not cheap but I'd buy them again.
I've used Phillips racing vision in a couple of cars - all still working after 20 months although I can't tell if they are dimming now or if my eyes are getting worse
laser frate :) I used Philips racing vision in the past. first impression was that they were brighter. No placebo, because i compared the lights during assembly I used them for 3 years and then one burned and replaced it with the original hella.... surprisingly there was no more difference between the two. maybe the blue filter got worn in time. Nice video. keep it going
No it's not the blue filter, actually halogen lamps do get slightly dimmer towards the end of their life. For some reason neither Osram nor Philips quote this figure in their data sheets for automotive lamps, but you will find these figures in their data sheets for hosehold halogen lamps. The most similar one would be the 12V 50W hosehold halogen lamp (for example, Osram HALOSTAR PRO 50 W 12 V GY6.35). It says it has a light output of *80%* of it's initial value at the end of it's life. So if you replace used halogen lamps with new ones, the new ones are almost always slightly brighter, even if it's the same product.
Hi Sergiu, I am a first time viewer of your channel, and I am very impressed with the way you communicate with your audience and how you explain in detail, the various light outputs and color differences. Today's episode was very helpful to me, and know I have subscribed to your channel. Keep up the great work Sergiu.
@@SergiuGabor The bottom line is that with respect to tested lux output with the expensive Osram and Philips halogen upgrade bulbs, there is not much of a difference compared to the ordinary and inexpensive Hella bulb (603 lux). The Osram (616 lux) and the Philips (653 lux) only offer a lux improvement of +2% and +8%, respectively. Given the high prices of these premium ‘upgraded’ halogen bulbs, the measured gains are just not worth the cost. Indeed, the English channel host Volkswizard stated that he was unable to discern a “dynamic” improvement when upgrading to the Osrams. Moreover, Volkswizard stated that the primary visual difference is the cooler colour temperature output is more pleasing as it is closer to what is delivered with more modern cars with LED headlights. I think the takeaway from these tests and observations from both Romania and England is that if a driver wants a superior and contemporary headlight and illumination experience, just buy a newer and better 2020s car with factory LED or laser headlights. th-cam.com/video/VBYx5CsPO8A/w-d-xo.html
Thumbs up for detailed analysis 👍🏻. My OEM OSRAM H7 55 Watt lasted 6.5 years, 65,000 kms. Already ordered OSRAM night breaker laser, keeping my fingers crossed. Heard that they have launched an OSRAM night breaker 200 also, but not available in my country ..
Superb video. Just what I've been looking for, for my GL1800 Honda Goldwing. I've tried Ozrams on one of the cars and as good as they were they blew within weeks so I didn't buy again. Ozram have a motorcycle H7 which is supposed to be more robust but if it is why not make it the standard for all vehicles? So, I've been considering Philips. Trouble is, changing headlight bulbs on a GL1800 is done by feel, and you need very small hands, so it's not something I want to be doing on a trip because it's not a 5 minute job. But after watching your video I've decided that the small gain in light with Ozram or Philips is not worth the increased risk of bulb failure and I've decided to stick with the standard H7's. A big thank you.
I personally prefer the Osram Nightbreaker LED Version. It's not so cheap (I paid 110€ for two of them) and they were basically plug&play. Have been using them for around 3 years and they still shine as bright as on day 1 and don't throw any can-bus errors. If you own a BMW that was manufactured after 2010, make sure to reprogram your board computer. Use Beemercode and a compatible dongle to easily reprogram the bulb type from Halogen to LED. If you don't change that setting, your bulb won't last that long and you night lead to error light on your dashboard
Salut Sergiu, la becuri poti face o comparatie intre Philips-uri: white vision ultra, diamond vision si ultinon essential led. Ar fi foarte apreciat in randul celor care folosesc halogen H7/H4 si vor lumina alba/led alb. Succes pe viitor!
Great work. By the way, that Hela bulb.... it got leaked vacuum and pressure inside bulb rose, as result the filament burn rapidly (giving up more light) and then the filament is consumed (burned).
Very detailed and alot of work went into this. I think I'll stick with the cheaper hella style thanks for this. I've used nightbreakers and wasnt convinced they weren't much better. They certainly didnt last as long.
Awesome comparison, this really made me better informed! I already have HIDs in my EcoSport Fog lamps but needed to replace my Xtreme Vision H4's which recently gave up.. With the Xtreme Vison now Out Of Stock everywhere, seems Racing Vision are the way to go now.. Thanks @Sergiu!
Tot episodul m-am uitat la acel V-Strom din fundal ! 😍😍. Urmeaza sa-mi iau, ce-mi poti zice de el, ciclistica, cuplu, depasiri, cum se lasa pe curbe...etc.
E foarte bună motoreta, are aproape 100k km si merge bine. Perfecta pentru drumuri lungi. O sa testez si produse destinate motocicletelor in viitor daca esti interesat.
The ring bulb most likely went brighter before it burnt out. This is normal when the filament starts to fail the resistance changes and more current goes through and it'd brighter then burns out.
Completely normal for a filament bulb to be super bright just before it goes out. It’s because the coil shorts, resulting in less resistance thus drawing more current at the same voltage. This creates a brief over temperature = more light and whiter light before the filament melts completely. Also used bulbs can actually become brighter than new bulbs because if micro cracks in the filament resulting in micro arcs (like xenon arc bulbs) even though they will actually draw less current because of higher resistance due to cracks = effectively thinner filament.
I had 3 sets of philips racingvision and lasted no more than one year(one failed in 3 months) good bulbs but now i am looking to try the bevinsee led you have reviewed, the red one now states its 100w and equivalent of what you tested are some silver ones stated power 60w . Thanks for your reviews!
Dupa parerea mea cele mai rezistente la mine au fost Philips X-tream vision 130%.Toate becurile au tinut minim 1 an .Restu cu 150% Night Breaker sau Laser maxim 5 6 luni.Avand clio nu e tocmai usor sa schimbi un bec.o zi frumoasa si faci o treaba foarte buna
Am I the only one has this flash of Johnny Sins 2-3 seconds before clicking to this video, but there you go mate.. smashing sub and like button. Also I was interested about this bulb frankly.
As for the lamp glowing really bright before blowing, it's possible that the fi;ament sagged down and touched the ground wire, so that only half of the filament was powered. In this situation, only a small portion of the filament glows very brightly before burning out. I've seen it happen on incandescent christmas lights when they're knocked down. One bulb glows incredibly brightly for about 30 seconds and then blows.
I didn't notice any difference switching from my stock H7 and H1 to Philips XtraVisaion and Osram NBU.. because my Car manufacturer Tata, Unlike Koreans didn't use absolute Minimum legal brightness bulb. When I removed my stock and checked one side was Philips, other side was Osram.
When I saw the video thumbnail, I thought you were Jhony Sins

This is the first objective testing I've seen for car light bulbs. Others have only been subjective with questionable inconsistencies in testing conditions. Tests were very extensive and thorough too. Well done.
By far the most comprehensive review I've seen yet - great video!
Thank you! Your opinion means a lot.
Philips has better Longivity than Osram
Osram may be bright but Life is Short

I had bought 25watt osram leds and one of the leds failed after 1year of use
holy shit... this is the kind of videos we need. good job serg. more stress testing vids.
Finally, a grown-up and objective test with controls. Thank you!
Finally a fair review. Let's not forget when they fool us with "150% more light" that all bulbs have a maximum lumen rating by ECE that producers should adhere to.

Hi there.. How is the life time of your Philips? they still work?
how are the Philips bulbs? 1 year Update?
real-life experience with H7 Osram Night Breaker vs Philips 130+ in reflection based headlamps:
- both have basically the same light, but give just a bit more visibility than normal H7s
- i bought 2 pairs of Osrams, these lasted 3 months and 4 months. on each pair the bulbs burned-out one after the other in a 1 week interval/offset
- after Osram i moved on to Philips 130+. i am using now the 3'rd pair of Philips, the first pair lasted 8 months(8 months 1'st bulb, and 9 months the 2'db bulb), the others burned-out after more than 11 months, with higher offset burn-out between the bulbs on each pair.
so...philips all the way for me
Yes, it is just like an old 60 watt incandescent home light bulb you bought in the 1990s. The light output is the same, no matter which brand you opted for at the shops.

The Osram (616 lux) and the Philips (653 lux) only offer a lux improvement of +2% and +8%, respectively. Given the high prices of these premium ‘upgraded’ halogen bulbs, the measured gains are just not worth the cost.
Indeed, the English channel host Volkswizard stated that he was unable to discern a “dynamic” improvement when upgrading to the Osrams. Moreover, Volkswizard stated that the primary visual difference is the cooler colour temperature output is more pleasing as it is closer to what is delivered with more modern cars with LED headlights.
I think the takeaway from these tests and observations from both Romania and England is that if a driver wants a superior and contemporary headlight and illumination experience, just buy a newer and better 2020s car with factory LED or laser headlights.

You deserve more subs! This video is perfect.
Thank you for all the hard work you have put into making this test!
An excellent presentation as usual Sergiu. Thanks and Greetings from Connecticut!
I love how you made the machine to test for bumps, AWESOME!
Whenever I see your video’s suggested I know this is going to be a good comparison! Thanks mate!
Excellent comparison test, the best I have seen. Thanks Sergiu
Thumbs up for detailed analysis 👍🏻.
My OEM OSRAM H7 55 Watt lasted 6.5 years, 65,000 kms.
Already ordered OSRAM night breaker laser, keeping my fingers crossed.
Heard that they have launched an OSRAM night breaker 200 also, but not available in my country ..
I am using Phillips bulbs for past 25 + years. They are durable and worth the price.
I haven't yet found such an explanatory video! Great job next time include the philips diamond vision too in your comparison!
Great video. I'm about to install Phillips Racing Vision GT200 having previously used Osram Night Breaker bulbs
Felicitari pt acest video.Foarte bine realizat.
Superb video. Just what I've been looking for, for my GL1800 Honda Goldwing. I've tried Ozrams on one of the cars and as good as they were they blew within weeks so I didn't buy again. Ozram have a motorcycle H7 which is supposed to be more robust but if it is why not make it the standard for all vehicles? So, I've been considering Philips. Trouble is, changing headlight bulbs on a GL1800 is done by feel, and you need very small hands, so it's not something I want to be doing on a trip because it's not a 5 minute job. But after watching your video I've decided that the small gain in light with Ozram or Philips is not worth the increased risk of bulb failure and I've decided to stick with the standard H7's. A big thank you.
This is a fantastic video. I can’t believe how yellow the bulbs look. I was going to buy the Osrams, not any more! Thanks
I personally prefer the Osram Nightbreaker LED Version.
It's not so cheap (I paid 110€ for two of them) and they were basically plug&play.
Have been using them for around 3 years and they still shine as bright as on day 1 and don't throw any can-bus errors.
If you own a BMW that was manufactured after 2010, make sure to reprogram your board computer.
Use Beemercode and a compatible dongle to easily reprogram the bulb type from Halogen to LED.
If you don't change that setting, your bulb won't last that long and you night lead to error light on your dashboard
Best comparison on TH-cam! Very good, keep going!
Te urmaresc cu mare interes. Bravo!
Salut Sergiu, la becuri poti face o comparatie intre Philips-uri: white vision ultra, diamond vision si ultinon essential led. Ar fi foarte apreciat in randul celor care folosesc halogen H7/H4 si vor lumina alba/led alb. Succes pe viitor!
Great work.
By the way, that Hela bulb.... it got leaked vacuum and pressure inside bulb rose, as result the filament burn rapidly (giving up more light) and then the filament is consumed (burned).
You are a fantastic guy preparing these very interesting and useful comparisons, and very creative!
This is a great video. Such an effort and so much information. THANK YOU buddy.
Multumim Sergiu Gabor!
Superb, most in depth, objective and informative. I believe what I see;)
Very detailed and alot of work went into this. I think I'll stick with the cheaper hella style thanks for this. I've used nightbreakers and wasnt convinced they weren't much better. They certainly didnt last as long.
Awesome comparison, this really made me better informed! I already have HIDs in my EcoSport Fog lamps but needed to replace my Xtreme Vision H4's which recently gave up.. With the Xtreme Vison now Out Of Stock everywhere, seems Racing Vision are the way to go now.. Thanks @Sergiu!
Awesome channel and a very professional setup for testing. Also that you state all relevant test criteria shows your very professional approach.
Tot episodul m-am uitat la acel V-Strom din fundal ! 😍😍. Urmeaza sa-mi iau, ce-mi poti zice de el, ciclistica, cuplu, depasiri, cum se lasa pe curbe...etc.
E foarte bună motoreta, are aproape 100k km si merge bine. Perfecta pentru drumuri lungi. O sa testez si produse destinate motocicletelor in viitor daca esti interesat.
Normal ca vrem :D
Btw, poate ne vedem la Bike Fest la Salonta sau la deschiderea de sezon la Oradea, ca vad ca nu esti departe de Oradea :D
@@SergiuGabor ce becuri ai pe strom ?
Felicitari maxime pentru canal ! Chiar nu stiam ca gropile si denivelarile drumurilor influenteaza si ele durata de viata a becurilor.
Ești foarte deștept. Îmi plac videourile tale. Te salut cu respect.
The ring bulb most likely went brighter before it burnt out. This is normal when the filament starts to fail the resistance changes and more current goes through and it'd brighter then burns out.
I laughed soooo hard when he revealed how a laser was incorporated with the making of osram headlight bulb
Completely normal for a filament bulb to be super bright just before it goes out. It’s because the coil shorts, resulting in less resistance thus drawing more current at the same voltage. This creates a brief over temperature = more light and whiter light before the filament melts completely.
Also used bulbs can actually become brighter than new bulbs because if micro cracks in the filament resulting in micro arcs (like xenon arc bulbs) even though they will actually draw less current because of higher resistance due to cracks = effectively thinner filament.
Btw I’m an electrical engineer so if I can contribute to your channel in any way just reach out. Think your work is great!
AWESOME REVIEW! I learned more than I knew about bulbs and I’m a big bulb guy hahaha.
Really great video, thanks a lot! Not many sources of this kind of information giving objective comparative test results.
Amazing high Quality review! Thank you!
I had 3 sets of philips racingvision and lasted no more than one year(one failed in 3 months) good bulbs but now i am looking to try the bevinsee led you have reviewed, the red one now states its 100w and equivalent of what you tested are some silver ones stated power 60w . Thanks for your reviews!
Should have watched your video before ordering osram night breaker 150.
Contiuna tot asa. faci o treaba buna cu aceste teste! In viitoarele episoade asteptam si un test cu becuri LED
I like your testing setup and the calm but interesting way you present the information! Great Video! :)
Dupa parerea mea cele mai rezistente la mine au fost Philips X-tream vision 130%.Toate becurile au tinut minim 1 an .Restu cu 150% Night Breaker sau Laser maxim 5 6 luni.Avand clio nu e tocmai usor sa schimbi un bec.o zi frumoasa si faci o treaba foarte buna
Am I the only one has this flash of Johnny Sins 2-3 seconds before clicking to this video, but there you go mate.. smashing sub and like button. Also I was interested about this bulb frankly.
Thanks 😂 Glad you liked it!
Bravo sergiu meriti mai multi abonati la cat te chinui cu video’urile facute sa ne explici !
thanks for this i go for philips.. this helped me i spend alot money on lights
Very detailed and comprehensive comparison. Great work 👍
A big kudos. 👍
As for the lamp glowing really bright before blowing, it's possible that the fi;ament sagged down and touched the ground wire, so that only half of the filament was powered. In this situation, only a small portion of the filament glows very brightly before burning out.
I've seen it happen on incandescent christmas lights when they're knocked down. One bulb glows incredibly brightly for about 30 seconds and then blows.
I was about to write this; that's exactly what happened when the Hella lamp burned out.
Thank you. Needed this!
thank you very much for taking your time for this very helpful review
I’m the only English comment you’re looking for.
Agree
Thank you
Worthless comments above and below. STFU. I don't care.
God bless you! 👍😀
The best reviewer on YT, no doubt!!
un mare like de la mine ... frumos video ... acum stiu ce marca o sa imi cumpar pe viitor
Amazing bro,I have not seen a review like this, great job
Looking forward for more reviews from you👍👍👍
This bloke talks a lot of sense. Very good.
Great technically explained video, you even sound like count Duracula
Genial , de mult timp caut un canal de genul acesta!
Wow wow wow wow wow!!!!!!!!!! The perfect and the best review type of this kind .
Philips + 130% is the best choice, lasts a long time and gives very good light 👍
Best test so far with these bulbs, Keep going! :)
I didn't notice any difference switching from my stock H7 and H1 to Philips XtraVisaion and Osram NBU.. because my Car manufacturer Tata, Unlike Koreans didn't use absolute Minimum legal brightness bulb. When I removed my stock and checked one side was Philips, other side was Osram.
I am also using tata. So should i keep my stock halogen set up in it?
You should do these reviews for a living, congratulations!
