Aftermarket bulbs in e46

[RC1]

I know the headlights in my 2004 b3s are set at the right level but the throw and light quality is poor. ive tried osram night breakers in the past but not done a back to back test to determine whether they were in fact better than those supplied at factory?

anyone swapped out their original bulbs for newer ones??

Night breakers are brighter than oe, but still have an orange hue. I use Philips Crystal Vision, brighter than standard-not as bright as Night breakers but a good white light.

One of my nightbreakers has failed, I have replaced it with a standard bulb temporarily
It's Deffo not as bright as the other h/ lamp but it's not a humongous difference but still worth
Putting in nightbreakers IMO, my nightbreaker bulb had failed at 14 months old and 30k miles
The other is still working as are the fog and high beam items I also fitted with nightbreakers
I purchase mine from the bay

good to know as i want to avoid a too white light... is it night breakers then or should i be thinking about something else?

Philips X-Treme Vision.

Used them in both an E30 and E36s, worthwhile upgrade imo.
