Default Anyone tried the new Osram headlights

Was reading on here and everyone said that the philips x-treme h4 headlights are the best stock replacements cause they have +80% light. Well was searching around and say osram put out a new oem stock that has plus +90%, just wondering if anyone has tried these and opinions on them.

Do you have a link to these? It's the first I'm hearing of them.

I checked them out on the Osram site also. I haven't read any reviews yet, but they should turn out to be excellent. The Osram (not Sylvania) SilverStar was a very good competitor to the Philips Vision Plus before Philips raised the bar with the X-treme Power. I'd imagine the new Night Breaker will be a strong response to the X-treme Power. They are also available in quite an array of applications, which is nice.

I don't think you can make a bad choice either way, but I would opt for the Osrams. Perhaps you can even write a review.

I was thinking about getting HIDs, but I might try these. It would be a lot cheaper and easier. I'm glad I saw this post.

i got them and installed them, they are bright as hell. I would say the low beam is about as bright as the high beam was on my old bulbs (i think they were nokia's, but im not sure they came in the car when i bought it). I would recommand these very much, i dont have any pics though.

how would you describe the color of the light?

do you think it's better than the phillips extreme?

seems like there would be less output since the bulb is tinted. Post pics asap!!

Oh wow, perfect timing because I am looking into osram and from what I've read it seems pretty bad ***.. The new nightbreakers is really what I'm interested in.

^-- Go pics
I can't decide which to buy:
