Hey guys,
With it coming to winter and I commute year round im noticing my headlights are ****. Not much better than my 01 cg125. Thinking of getting the nightbreakers and wanted to know of they are one of the better options for plug and play and if OSRAM NIGHT BREAKER UNLIMITED H7 are the right/best ones. Cheers! |

They should be H4. I've fitted Osram Nightracers to my curvy. Unbelievable improvement over the standard bulbs and over the Philips Extreme 80 bulbs I had fitted previously.

Having tried Xenon filament bulbs from Phillips and Osram in cars (and in my bikes got Phillips Xtreme Vision in at the moment, but only ever used in daylight ) I found that Osram maybe a tad brighter but beam pattern a bit 'fuzzy' whereas Phillips bean pattern has always been better, more defined with a more noticeable sharper cut-off. The higher brightness bulbs have shorter life than normal plain Halogen gas ones (the addition of Xenon gas to Halogen allows higher filament temperature). I have seen figures of average 450 hours life on internet reviews, but you get more vibration on a bike than the average car - most bikes now use headlight all the time, I tend to ride on high beam in the day partly to make bike more visible but also I would want high filament to blow first because riding on high beam after dark is pretty much a no-no, but dip beam would get you home without getting road rage from everyone you ****ed off.
http://www.powerbulbs.com/product/os...0-h4-twin-pack looks like nightracers have vibration resistant filament. Interesting articles on this site, link below is just one, looks like yellow headlights could make your bike more visible in daylight (they stand out from everybody elses blue/ white lights) and fog, but not so good at night. http://www.webbikeworld.com/t2/motor...ight-bulbs.htm

Cool so the consensus seems to get the Night Racers over the Breakers.
