Title: Osram or Phillips?
Post by: berg on December 23, 2011, 11:47:57 am: Does it make much difference which brand?

Also, which are the uprated dipped headlights and sidelight product codes for both if anyone has them?

Thanks.

I have the same fitted to my Superb and there is no yellow tint to them, if anything they have a slight blue hue to them (compared to the OE Bi-xenon's)

Post by: vRS_Pagey on December 23, 2011, 06:28:04 pm: I have compared the Osram nightbreaker + to the Ring xenon max and there is no different, so for the price the Ring xenon were the way forward. You could also consider a good quality HID kit now the officials have seen sense and relaxed the MOT reg's on them. :xmaspresent:
