Osram is the leading manufacturer of automotive lighting products, and their products are used as standard equipment by many of the major leading car manufacturers. However alongside their standard range of 12 volt headlight bulbs, Osram has also produced an upgrade range of headlight bulbs for drivers looking for improved lighting and styling performance from their headlight bulbs.
There are three types of bulbs in the upgrade range. They are the Osram Cool Blue, Silver Star, and Night Breaker. These bulbs are legal on the roads in the UK and Europe. They come with the E1 standards test mark. The design of these new products was created as a replacement for current bulbs, which allows them to fit in your existing holders without need of modification or tools to make them work.
Before using any of the three: Silver Star, Cool Blue, or Night Breaker, you will need to find out which bulbs you have in your vehicle. This information can be found in the owner’s manual of your vehicle. You may also use Google to search for information by using “Car Bulbs Finders” in the search box. Many of the retailers of headlight bulbs list information online in an interactive site to help guide you.
The Osram Cool Blue series are designed for drivers who want to stand out from the crowd and give their headlights a really distinctive night time look. The Cool Blue bulbs have blue filtered glass, which emits a blue tinted light that is very similar to high intensity discharge xenon bulbs.
There are ECE rules which limit the degree of blue light your headlights are allowed to have. Osram Cool Blue bulbs are dark and street legal, and one of the only ones you can find.
Osram Silver Star lights help increase visibility for night time driving. They are also much better than halogen headlights that come standard in cars. The Osram Silver Star produces 50 percent more light on the road at the 50 to 75 metre range. This helps drivers react to dangers, obstacles, or road signs quicker.
The top upgrade from Osram is the Night Breaker series. The Night Breaker is made with xenon gas which is pressurised inside the glass. It also has an upgrade to the filament. The results of this change offer 90 percent more light. It also has a longer range by 35 metres in darkness, with 10 percent whiter light emitted.
If you are a keen driver and want maximum visibility and performance from your headlight bulbs then the Osram Night Breaker makes an excellent choice.
It is simple to improve your standard headlight bulbs when you choose the Osram Cool Blue, Nightbreaker, or Silver Star. Night safety and sight is greatly improved and any of these three bulbs can fit your needs well.
Fitting new aftermarket Car Bulbs can be a quick and easy way to really modernise the look of your car lights and it won’t cost you too much either. Because there is now a wide range of bulbs to choose from in various fittings, including H7 Xenon, there will always be one to suit your vehicle and your budget.
