NightBreakers or M-Tec or Philips H7 headlight Bulbs or ???
« on: April 07, 2014, 09:32:14 am »
Whats the best option on H7 headlight lamps guys?

I don't want any tacky ultra blue looking beam just a nice white with maybe a suttle hint of blue.


Many thanks!

I can second that. Such an improvement on standard lamps.

I've got the philips xtreme, really happy with them also noticeably whiter... comes best in autoexpress (http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/accessories-tyres/76760/car-bulbs-2013-group-test-headlight-reviews). However night breakers probably offer better value for the small performance difference

MTEC nice color but dont shine very far,

Phillip shine far, but a bit yellow,

Nightbreakers perfect balance.

If you want purely best performance, then Philips X-treme visions are best. As mentioned above Auto Express found them the best when testing in a light tunnel.

I'd go with some Philips blue vision 5w5. Any LED ones will make the Nightbreakers or whichever bulb fitted look really yellow
