After feeling my lights could be better on my late w124 coupe I decided to upgrade the bulbs.
No idea why I didn’t do it earlier, perhaps constantly being blinded by modern led lights made me think my dimmer ones were doing everyone else a favour.
I went for ‘Osram night breaker lasers’ as someone on the 5 series forum I’m on (I also own a late e34 touring) recommended them very highly.
Not driven with them yet so will update the post once I’ve used them a little, but I can see the difference while parked.
Brighter and whiter and the extra distance the light travels (and the sharpness of cut line) is instantly noticeable.
Not the best picture but the oem osram bilux bulb (that has lasted years) is on the left and the new osram laser bulb is on the right. The difference in brightness on the bumper is the easiest way of spotting the improvement…
Bit late now but out of interest, what bulbs that fit the standard H4 headlight fitting have you upgraded too / recommend?
Thanks
