The life span also depending on the number of hours u switch on the light. I used to switch on about 1 hour daily on average including weekend. Lifespan almost the same ranging to 11 month - 14 month (I've used 2 - 3 pair of Osram Night Breaker Plus).

agreed it depend on hours using it. but generally the osram bulb life shorter vs stock. but light output > stock

i changed my stock h4 to osram nightbreaker.. i paid for rm130 per pair.. kena chop gao gao by accessories shop.. but the color are not so yellowish and definitely more bright compare to stock H4.. it was working even after 4-5 years until i crash the front lamp and exposed the bulb to rain water and one of the bulb ko while another one still working

That's really short§lifespan
Which is why I go led for replacement and last much longer and brighter 😜

I thought waja is infamous for short-lived headlamp bulbs? due to its ori wiring.

RM130 including installation is not that bad, online pun RM100-plus iirc.

I have been using Osram Nightbreaker since 2013. Started with NB Plus, then Unlimited and now first gen Laser (current ones are Laser next gen). H4 bulb on 2006 Myvi.

Used the NB Plus and NB Unlimited for over 2 years. Also I switch on my headlights even during the day so it got a lot of use. If your bulb dies quickly something is wrong with the car's wiring.

Definitely brighter than standard halogen. Tried Philips +30% and it was too dim and too yellow for me. Got used to the NB being brighter and slightly whiter.

not sure. but on waja or old model proton is ok. except newest like Preve do has this issues.

in my case, it is on old proton waja mitsu. the stock bulb life is higher than Osram NB based on my experience. car is totally stock

Stock bulb lifespan surely much better than any performance bulb lifespan

I just tested the Philips Halogen Vision + 30... Not bad I would say if compared to my old halogen bulb. For RM15 a pair, I am quite satisfied with its performance.

Brightness was restored and the beam seems to shine further and brighter. Probably because my old bulb got dimmer throughout these 11 years.

I know the Nightbreaker will be better but I am those that want the best bang for money and last long too. I don't mind paying for the Nightbreaker if it has the lifespan of an normal halogen bulbs.

Nightbreaker lifespan will lower for sure so it wont be best bang for money.

Good that u have change your 11 years old bulb.

Stock bulb is the best yo. Got times when u will fedup and revert back to stock bulb. mark my words

I would say the original headlight that came with the car will be the best.

If it uses Halogen, better stick with Halogen.

If it comes with LED, stick with LED.

Mind sharing where you gotten Philips Halogen Vision bulbs?

Looking to change my stock bulbs too

From a shopee seller called twinklebigstar.

The product is genuine as i've verified through its qrcode scanner.

For a simple car, like viva, old myvi, i prefer to use mr diy blue coated bulb. Cheap but good light vs stock


Attached thumbnail(s)

Rm8.40 for it, super worth to try. Can buy to try and compare with stock bulbs.

Thank you so much bro! Will check it out
