Osram night breaker Plus query?

Most of the time on unlit roads there are other vehicles coming towards you or driving in front of you which means my dipped beams are on most of the time and I found that the MTEC's lit the road up less than standard bulbs, which is why they are now on a shelf in my garage gathering dust and where replaced by Bosch Pure Light bulbs which outperformed both Night Breakers and X-Treme vision in the 2010 Which test.
The Bosch Pure Lights are great bulbs for illuminating the road but not if you want the HID look.

I think that's why people go for the Nightbreakers or X-Treme vision ones, because they look whiter than a standard bulb and provide better light. You don't quite get the full HID look but at least you're safe!
am i the only one here who doesnt find it an issue driving at night with other cars on the roadrofl
I often find it difficult when you have some idiot coming the other way with ridiculously bright lights dazzling me

Nope, your not the only one. . .
Well as I started the thread I'd thought it best to let you know that I've gone for the Mtec ones. I'm after the whited lights and if I'm driving down a dark road I always put the full beam on so I'm sure I'll be fine!

im looking for bulbs lately to change my main lights....... im between nightbreakers and Philips diamond vision. Any suggestion?
There is 2 pictures of the standard bulbs and the Osram nightbreakers H7's. You can see that the Nightbreakers are brighter and a tad whiter but im going to go for a HID kit instead (or they MTEC bulbs as they do look great in pictures giving off a great white light). Dont get me wrong the Nightbreakers are great but i wanted somthing with a more of a white light.

I will be honest, mine don't look that yellow.
If you put an LED sidelight in with them, they're obviously a bit yellow, but they're white compared to a normal sidelight.
They are a perfect match for the bluevision sidelights.
Mtecs all the way really nice crisp white light had them on car for around 2yrs now with no problems on dipped beam i have H1 H3 H7 Mtec 12v 100w Cosmos blue matched up with led sidelights, the main beam H1s are really bright perfect for those dark country lanes or roads with no street lighting i also looked at Nightbreakers etc but the colour against the sidelights was to yellowish in comparison.

Regarding the sidelight issue, I got Osram Nightbreaker Plus H1 bulbs in the high beam and Osram Cool Blue Intense in the sidelights and they are almost a perfect match.
Just bought MTEC H7 dipped and the sidelights... For anyone else looking to see what's best I will get photos up as soon as fitted

Just ordered mtec diamond white h7.....surely worth a pop at £13!
Removing my hids cuz my car really hates them n keeps on blowing a fuse!!
Hopefully they will do the trick
I think you'll find the MTECs to not be bright enough.. If you do, buy a terminator kit from HIDs direct for £70.
