Re: Test.....Nightbreakers - Wow!
I replaced mine with Osram Cool Blue's Just before the Silver Star's were introduced ... that's years ago and many bumpy roads / tracks / no roads passed under the tyres in that time .... no problem ever. IIRC the Cool Blue were not that far behind the Silver Star IRO lumen output and a very noticeable difference between the standard bulbs.
IMO it's all very well to have these fancy globes, but where you really need them is on the open road and a good pair of spots makes up for any shortcomings. Another thing is that it can become quite irritating for yourself and other road users when you are on dip and oncoming traffic keeps flashing you because they think you're on brights. Then there's the reliability issue ... what's the point if they don't last ..... besides the cost, they could let you down when you really need them. .....

When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Re: Test.....Nightbreakers - Wow!
Tx Warren, that's interesting. I would have thought the silverstars would give less lumen, as that have been around for years. Had them in my SFA. Then Osram brought out the night breakers (which are supposed to be better)
Have had no problems with other on-coming traffic flashing me.

Here are the results:
20 000 lux - Cheap and nasty globes from Makro
29 000 lux - Osram Nightbreakers
37 000 lux - Osram Silverstars
43 000 lux - Koito globes as supplied standard in the Prado
These Lux levels do not seem correct. A 250 watt flood light, Metal Hallied lamp HQI only produces 26 000 lux according to GE specifications.

Re: Test.....Nightbreakers - Wow!
I want to go and pick me up a set.
Other option was Silver Stars because the problems with reliability some people have experienced.

Heinrich I think that the first one's might have had some issues with relaibility, but I use mine a lot and in 6 months haven't had a moments problem with them.Traveler wrote:I want to go and pick me up a set.

I'm actually going to get me another set to fit to the spotlights as well so that all the lights in the front is white and bright.

Re: Test.....Night breakers - Wow!
Hi Mark
Thanks for the prompt reply .I see in the hand book that they state the following :
Headlights low beam 55w type H11 Halogen bulbs
Headlights High Beam 60w HB3 Halogen bulbs
Fog Lights 51w HB4 Halogen Bulbs
Could one not just get 3 pairs of the Night breakers and make all the same ? Please excuse the ignorance .We did not have this luxury in my `83 land rover,LWB series 3 hard top
Look forward to your and possible other members advice thanks so much
Kind regards
Pierre

Re: Test.....Night breakers - Wow!
No unfortunately not, each lamp ie. H1,H2.H3 ....H11 have different filament positions and will therefore not work effectively by changing them. I would start by looking for H11 noghtbreakers for a sart, youu may have difficulty finding them though....!SEAPEARL wrote:Hi Mark

Do you get them for the spots with only one filament?I'm actually going to get me another set to fit to the spotlights as well so that all the lights in the front is white and bright.

Hu u, n krismis boom het gekleurde liggies.
So help my gou reg hier, die Nightbreakers, is dit so eenvoudig soos in net die bulbs wat verander word of is dit soortgelyk aan n HID system wat n balast het?

Re: Test.....Nightbreakers - Wow!
Jy kan nie Halogeen en HID met mekaar vergelyk nie. HID het 'n baie meer intense lig. Ek het HID in gehad en met 'n engine skoon maak sessie gemanage om my control unit te blaas toe switch ek na Hella se Daymaker halogeen toe. Ek kom toe eers agter dat die HID my eintlik meer sleg as goed gedoen het want toe skielik kom ek agter dat ek nie meer worry as ek agter iemand ry dat my ligte te bright is nie en dat ek ook nie meer worry as ek 'n polisieman of speedcop sien nie want sover ek weet is dit onwettig om die HID in te hê as die reflektor nie spesifiek vir hom ontwerp is nie want jy verblind die karre van voor. m2cwJohannes van die See wrote:En dit is soveel beter?

Re: Test.....Nightbreakers - Wow!
Heel eerste ding wat ek verander het toe ek my Hilux gekoop het. Ek is n groot Osram Nightbreaker fan. Ek sit dit in elke kar wat ek moontlik het. Kon dadelik die verskil sien na ek die Nightbreakers in gesit het.
Het nie probleme op die pad wat mense my flits nie, maar met die Corsa bakkie wat ek gehad het well n paar keer n geflits gekry van ander mense af. Moet seke net nog n rukkie wag dan sal die mense my wel flits in die Hilux.

Re: Test.....Nightbreakers - Wow!
Ek gaan maak toe `n draai by Midas in Silverton vir my 'nightbreakers' en die ou agter die toonbank probeer aan my verkoop Philips se 'x-treme Vision'. Hy se die 'X-tremes' is `n verbetering op die 'nightbreakers' met beter resultate in lig en betroubaarheid. Logies het ek toe nie gekoop nie, ek wou eers jul mening hoor. Enige inligting op die 'X-treme visions'? Enige iets is ook moontlik komende uit Silverton.

Gerrit, hier is 'n link waar Caskru die verskillende lampe getoets het:

Re: Test.....Nightbreakers - Wow!
Ek het nou nie daai phillips extreme getoets nie maar wees versigtig. Hy praat dalk van die oorspronklikke nighbreakers wat bleikbaar nie lank gehou het nie. Die nuwes is nou die night breaker plus. Ek het hulle teen die Osram Daymaker getoets en alhoewel altwee reken hulle is 80% helderder as standaard... het die nighbreaker on average beter as die daymaker gedoenGerrit wrote:Ek gaan maak toe `n draai by Midas in Silverton vir my 'nightbreakers' en die ou agter die toonbank probeer aan my verkoop Philips se 'x-treme Vision'.
