VeeKay has OEM xenon headlights fitted and they are very good but, the main beams look positively jaded in comparison.

Can anybody recommend a better alternative for the main beams please?

Osram nightbreakers look whiter, and give better light. At least they do in the 45. However I have to say one of the pair I fitted lasted less than twelve months. That may be due to vibration in the lamps, rather than a fault of the bulbs though, as it's the same one that failed days after I bought the car.

Nightbreaker Plus for me, been in since this time last year, hope they last a few more.

Sorry, yes, they were nightbtreaker pluses. Probably going to try them in Marmite the Roomster, too.

Reasonable price now too. (H7 is main isn't it? Can't recall and it's too cold and wet to go out to garage)

Mine were fitted a year ago at your place, in the middle of a huge plate of sandwiches by the pianist fingered 'Dave the Monk' and excellent they are too. Bulbs that is, the sandwiches were even better!

Just ordered a couple of sets myself.

Hiya. Are these Nightbreaker bulbs zenon or halogen? I don't think mine are zenon on my 75 03 connie. Tia. Mel.

Jürgen · Posted 28 Nov 2012, 16:55 #10

Hi Mel, these are halogen.

Duncan · Posted 28 Nov 2012, 18:51 #11

1 of the two sets just arrived. Why can't people read the orders?

Jürgen · Posted 28 Nov 2012, 19:56 #12

Sure, Duncan? Maybe they are the LH ones and the RH ones are in back order ...

:gmc:

Duncan · Posted 28 Nov 2012, 20:27 #13

You might be right. Or I might be dealing with numpties. Now let me think.

roughyed · Posted 28 Nov 2012, 20:31 #14

Hi Jürgen.thanks for the info. Mel.& no Duncan I dont consider myself a numtie.

Jürgen · Posted 28 Nov 2012, 20:43 #15

Not you, Mel! The numpties out there Duncan has bought the lamps from.

Mick · Posted 28 Nov 2012, 20:53 #16

Definitely not you Mel.

Duncan · Posted 29 Nov 2012, 07:41 #17

Absolutely, Mel. The numpties are the people who I ordered two sets of bulbs from and sent one set. Certainly not you!

roughyed · Posted 29 Nov 2012, 17:07 #18

Duncan I got the wrong-end of the stick, thats why my friends call me (short fuse ) I'm sorry for jumping the gun. Cheers Mel.
