Uprating bulbs quick question

[RetroRaz]

have to say that i have MTEC's too and i do a lot of motorway driving and it doesnt look as if the lights are on. they are a bit more white than the original halogens but in terms of beam and range they are terrible and i get better lighting from my fogs which are standard at the moment too.

Just thinking now do i go for nightbreakers or philips xtreme?

Yeah I have MTEC's right now due to people on here advising me. And they are very very poor for beam distance. Especially if your car is lowered, you won't see more than about 3-5metres in front of you!

The phillips are a more pure white light. Whereas the nightbreakers sometimes has a tinge of standard halogens. But I hear they are bright enough and have a decent beam length to compare with xenons.

Philips review here: http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,41134.0.html

I have Nightbreakers and the beam is very good. They're cheaper than the Philips, but I think they're slightly less powerful.

I have the MTEC's in my dipped lights and nighbreakers in the full beam.

As others have said the MTEC's beam is not very good but they look great. The nightbreakers beam is much better and that is why I have them in the full beam

Yeah depending where you're from, but most of us can't drive around with full beams on lol

Good job I asked then! Best get another set then!

On that note I can get OSRAM night breakers for a tenner if anyone ever needs any ;)

Hi Chris, i'm interested in a pair of H7 osram nightbreaker plus bulbs for £10.

I will be fitting my Nightbreakers later on this morning so I shall let you know my thoughts :)

Sounds like I will be sticking with my Phillips Xtreme H7 bulbs if any of your experiences with the MTEC's are anything to go by. Will still get a couple to run a side by side and one after the other comparision and will post up some pics and description. Might even stick the OEM bulbs back in and do all 3.  BTW the Phillips are very good IMHO.

Smell away fella! 

 Will see what I find and if any noticeable difference in light output, pattern or even looks then a small review but all IMHO, might have to order the Osrams as well then.

I'm now contemplating sacking the nightbreakers off and buying the phillips instead :|

[Timi8888]

Yeah a small review is what is needed! Just pictures in the dark showing the beam length and the bulb colour would do!

iam stuck between the MTEC and nightbreakers. About the same price, just want the brightest longest range.
My current Ring xenon whatevers only lasted 11 months, are slightly whiter than standard halogens, range about the same...

I want white lights.... Had Xenons on my last car and jumping back into one without is hopeless.... may aswell tape 2 torches to the front end!
