As H7 lamp and driving light with the Philips X-treme very satisfied, have now been incorporated for defective driving beam Osram Night Breaker as H1 lamp. The difference with the standard bulbs in my Mondeo MK3 is enormous. The light is much brighter, appears on, and the illumination is homogeneous. The right edge of the roadway is more illuminated, traffic signs, or people / wildlife to be seen sooner.
The shelf life in pure high beam is difficult to assess, but I hope however, now have at least two years of peace.
I think these bulbs (also Philips) for additional safety when driving at night, and can only recommend this.
