On the left is the Orsam Night Breakers, and the right ABT 6500k's ice blue. (this was taken on my phone, so is a bit crappy so i'll get another couple of photos later). The abt's are much bluer than the night breakers (although this isn't entirely obvious from the photo)


nice one on the pics dude.
You got any pics with it shining against a wall? How is the output?

I can grab a few pics later on the wall (however they will only be the ABD's Not the night breakers, as they are now out of my car).

Output,
  • night breakers white light at night and yellowish during the day but VERY bright (whiter and brighter than factory standard).
  • ABD's Blueish tint (very similar to xenon) during the night, and a whiteish blue during the day (again very similar to Xenon). These are Not as bright as the night breakers, but similar/better than the ones factory fitted.

Suppose it boyles down to what you want from them, style or vision lol. Hope that answers your question.

Thanks.
Just wanted to know if there was a much bigger difference or not.

Nice one dude, thanks for the pics.
Looks like the same as my nightbreakers on the standard headlight set

They look very similar to the xenons. But they're not illegal like those fake HIDs?

Lol, yeah am impressed with the out come. The bulbs were only £12 lol, so will probably last two mins (I'll post when they go out). Aparently they has xenon gas in there and hence shine at 6500k, but don't know how much truth is behind that :smiley:

Could be very missleading when buying a car - thinking it has Xenon's when it doesnt - not a complaint to you, just a comment as some people search after a GTI with Xenon's.

True. But not planning of selling her any time soon  :grin:

Does anyone have suggestions for fogs to match?

It wasnt a dig at you - just more as options like this become available as a buyer you have check out these things.

Don't worry buddy, knew it wasn't a dig :happy2:. I couldn't agree more, I try and steer clear of s/h modded cars (never know how they have been driven or how well the instilation is etc)

Hi there, with regards to the fitting of these headlights, is there any extra work to be done apart from popping the bumper out, and removing the headlights in situ? I ask because i have found an ad on e-bay from the same vendor- tuning fanatics, and it states the headlights come with bulbs (helpful) and actuators. I am wondering what the actuators do, and if they require any power source independant from the bulbs, and if they need to be attached/connected to anything else in or on the car? :confused:

This is the link (hopefully) to the ad.

Any help gratefully received
Steve :happy2:

At a guess I would say the acutators are for the leveling which should be connected when you plug the headlight in, if further wiring is required I wouldn't touch them.
