In process of upgrading Headlamps. Osram Night breakers purchased. I will change one and give the lens a
good tooth pasting then compare.

Sounds interesting let us know how you get on. Are these ok in the Bongo, spec wise ?
Is there a model number for the Osram ones ?
I always thought the Bongo has very good headlights/beam at night but I have no idea what bulbs I have in mine. They are not the very white ones. These sound good and as if they would make the car appear more modern in the night and of course improve clarity of road vision.

I fitted the Night Breakers last summer and they are definitely brighter than standard, a simple and worthwhile upgrade in my opinion. I also polished the lenses with toothpaste at the same time which is also worth doing.

The whiter light bulbs generally do not last as long as ordinary bulbs as the bulb burns at a higher temp - hence the whiter light. Some whiter bulbs last longer than others though. And yes, I do use the whiter ones!

Think they are the ones we fitted. Yes they are brighter. We also fitted some ceramic connectors as someone said they are hotter and can damage the wiring.

I can also recommend the night breaker bulbs. They're a worthwhile upgrade.
