Allroad2014 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Just about to change the bulbs in my Allroad in attempt to find something a little brighter than the OE which for whatever reasons I have put up with for the last 8 1/2 years. I am told LED upgrade could fail MOT if unlucky enough to get caught out and was therefore looking at Osram Nightbreakers +200 as they appear to be the go to replacement. Has any one out there any experience with them and of course the key question, do they make a significant difference? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMKC82 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Hi Derek, I had the Osram +200% bulbs on my previous VW Scirocco. Great bulbs, and excellent upgrade in my opinion. BUT they failed quite often (can't give you a timeline), and not sure if it was the car or bulbs. And because they are pricy it was annoying. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allroad2014 Posted October 21, 2022 Author Share Posted October 21, 2022 Thank you Joe, I have read that they do not last too long which may become a pain, however, the standard bulbs are very poor (age catching up with me and notice it more each year) and it may have to be a compromise worth making, pleased to hear you thought they performed well though.

Thanks Can't comment on the Nightbreakers but I was shocked at the OEM's on my A4 and changed to Twenty20 Daylight +200%. Got to say made a massive difference. Could actually see the road in front of me! Almost 2 years later they are still going strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allroad2014 Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 Fitted the Nightbreakers, definitely a worthy upgrade, not LED standard by any means, however, so much better than the original fit Halogens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
