Also note Osram is Toyotas OEM headlight bulb supplier, so they meet Toyota’s strict product quality standards. See how they compare to the Chinese knockoffs here. These are a high wattage, high efficiency bulb, meaning they increase output and extend distance projection. There is an AllSeason version of this 85/80w bulb, see how it compares ...
Sylvania and Osram are or used to be part of the same company. I've also seem Osram stamped on PIAA, Hella, and Phillips bulbs, so at best, you're getting second-best from those brands.
Crashnburn80's ultimate headlight upgrade is more work than I would care to put in right now. So that leaves me trying to decide between the Philips RacingVision GT200 or the Osram Night Breaker 200 bulbs. Which would you choose or is there a better option for a stock wattage H4 bulb?
The Osram Night Breaker +200 H11s are the first +200 efficiency bulb in the H11 base. The Night Breaker +200s performed very well in the 2nd Gen reflector housings, though they were outperformed by the Philips Racing Visions in those assemblies.
The Osram 64205 was the 70/65w version of the discontinued Hypers, which were also made in the 85/80w spec posted at the start of the thread. World's best H4/9003 is a big claim, I was very curious to see how these measured up.
Looking to upgrade the H11 low beam bulbs in my 2017 Tacoma to the more powerful H9 bulbs. From reading numerous threads on here, I’ve gathered that...
OEM grade brands like Osram and Philips are in a constant arms race to push the technology further, developing +150 and +200 HID capsules to significantly extend output distance projection while remaining at legal levels of output for the safest most advanced lighting possible.
From the alpha rex sight- they use an H7 for both the low and high beam projectors. There's not a lot of true upgrade bulbs for H7, but Daniel Stern has a line on an osram product which uses an H9 bulb rebased on an H7 base. That's your best option. Take a look at the wiring, they will draw 10-15 more watts than the H7s you're running currently. Avoid LED retrofit bulbs. They're just not ...
