Osram is the leading manufacturer of automotive lighting products, and their products are used as standard equipment by many of the major leading car manufacturers. However alongside their standard range of 12 volt headlight bulbs, Osram has also produced an upgrade range of headlight bulbs for drivers looking for improved lighting and styling performance from their headlight bulbs.

Currently there are three types of upgrade headlight bulbs available called Osram Cool Blue, Osram Silver Star and Osram Night Breaker. All of these upgrade bulbs are completely road legal and come with the European testing standards E1 mark, and because they are designed to replace your standard headlight bulbs they will fit into your existing headlight bulb holders and therefore do not need any special tools to fit them or modifications.

Before deciding on either the Osram Silverstar, Osram Cool Blue or Osram Nightbreaker bulbs, you will need to find out which type of headlight bulbs you already have fitted in your vehicle. Normally you can find this information listed in the owners manual, although if you type Car Bulbs Finders into Google there are now a lot of good online automotive bulb retailers that have an interactive car bulbs guide built into the site.

The Osram Cool Blue light is for drivers who want to make an impression. The lights give a night time appearance. Cool Blue has filtered glass that provides a blue tint to the light. It is a lot like the xenon bulbs including the intensity of those bulbs.

With the Osram Cool Blue you will need to understand the ECE rules. There are limits to the amount of blue tint you can have on a headlight bulb. Osram ensures that their Cool Blue is within that limit. In fact it is the darkest street legal light you can have for your car.

The Silver Star Osram option has been created for night time sight. They are better than the halogen standard lights vehicles are made with. This is due to the 50 percent more light the Osram Silverstar generates over that of the regular halogen bulb. This power of light works well in 50 to 75 metre distances, which helps the motorist see probable dangers, obstacles, or signs.

The flagship of the Osram upgrade headlight bulbs range is the Osram Night Breaker series, which uses pressurised xenon gas, instead of halogen, and a re-engineered filament. The results is an award winning headlight bulb that produces 90% more light, projects 35 meters further into the darkness and is 10% whiter.

The keen driver who wants the best visibility and product will want the Osram Night Breaker bulbs.

It is simple to improve your standard headlight bulbs when you choose the Osram Cool Blue, Nightbreaker, or Silver Star. Night safety and sight is greatly improved and any of these three bulbs can fit your needs well.
