Night Breaker all the way - I had some fitted last Friday from here

Best legal lighting upgrade apart from a full xenon conversion

The nightbreaker ones from what I have heard are very very good.

i use the Ultra ones and they are such a difference from standard!!!!
I hear the nightbreaker ones are better though

What is the life expectancy on the nightbreaker?

My H7s in a Fabia vRS lasted around 4 months in the winter driving around 850 miles a week. They are the shortest lived headlights I ever used, but (Toshiba HIR 9011 / 9012 aside) the best filament type bulb I ever ran from a light output point of view.

Just ordered a set of Philips X-Treme for the Dooper.

Osram Hyper 65W H7 (actually an H9 bulb on a H7 base)
Very efficient, much brighter than an H7.
Lifespans similar to stock.
Color similar to stock, a little bit whiter.
