Which H7 bulb.
Tonight noticed one of my dipped beam H7bulbs had blown. So, what to replace with. Been looking at Osram night breakers 200% ones, but at 28 quid a pair the next step down appear almost the same at 150% but cost 20 quid . https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175058615244 I've also come across some from a company called Peak which sound good, but I've never heard of them but are abot 18 quid. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353846856382 . Idon't really want to go led route as there are many different types and non seem to give correct cut off pattern and I don't want to blind on coming traffic, but would like a brighter whiter light on the road. So what do folk reccommend ?? Or should I just get ten of these for a tenner and swap them more often , lol. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/183965933345 edit, they are halogen not xenon.

I've been using Osram Nightbreakers H7 for almost 3 years in my V70
dipped and main beam, also H1 for the fog lights, so can recommend them, good beam pattern and distance. Mind you I do have the daytime running lights turned off which seem to make them last longer

Well yesterday due to a break in the weather I swapped over the bulb and guess what.................. it still didn't work ! Old bulb looked fine, so looked in handbook and found out each side has a seperate fuse. Ah ha thought I, that is the problem a blown fuse. So today in the freezing cold went to have a look. As it runs on gas there is extra wiring about and I thought the relay attched near the battery was for that, but no.............................................. it was for the lights and one of the connectors had come off, so plugged it back in and voila full set of lights again. Just got to do the near side one now but that can wait for a warmer day. So was wondering if the lights had been swapped from xenon to halogen because there was some kind of problem as there are a set of taped off wires that don't seem to have anywhere to go.
