Osram Nightbreaker Unlimited Xenarc fitted

My original bulbs had been in the car for 6 years from new. In all honestly, they looked OK, but were little better than my previous car (and that wasn't too good) So, I got these fitted and the difference is really noticeable
I'm not bothered about the 'cool' look of the CB varient,just wanted the best OEM look and these are very recommended. Most noticeable is the kerbside throw and illumination over the previous (which were Philips Xenarc)

Let me know if you need a picture, although I feel that due to the brightness of any Xenon light, they're a little pointless.

Very pleased

Hi Mate,

Would be interested in these, how do they stack up on price? Did you buy them and then get them fitted? Or was it a supply and fit job.... I know jack about this sort of stuff, I take it they are nothing to do with the angle eye bits and are just a better high/low beam than std.... Like you I prefer the OEM look...

Yeah, I did my homework first. I did get them from eBay, but from an official Osram supplier - LINK

Here's some shots. Like I said, it's near impossible to see Xenons properly with a smartphone camera. 2 short videos below.

Got them fitted at a local garage for £40. These bulbs are for both normal dipped beam and high beam. The headlamp does this with a shield that moves in the headlamp when you select high beam. The angel eyes are in the next globe and like you say, are nothing to do with the xenon lamp.

They're £138 a pair.
