Posted on Friday, March 19, 2010 in Travel

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. There are three types of bulbs in the upgrade range. They are the Osram Cool Blue, Silver Star, and Night Breaker. These bulbs are legal on the roads in the UK and Europe. They come with the E1 standards test mark. The design of these new products was created as a replacement for current bulbs, which allows them to fit in your existing holders without need of modification or tools to make them work. 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. Osram Cool Blue has been designed for a driver who wants a different look for their car. The Cool Blue design has blue tinted glass that provides a blue light a lot like the xenon 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 Osram Silverstar bulbs are tailored to improve a drivers night time visibility, and is a considerable improvement over the standard halogen headlight bulbs. Crucially the Osram Silverstar is designed to produced 50% more light onto the road, especially in the 50 to 75 meter range therefore enabling a driver to react earlier to hazards, road signs and potential obstacles. The Osram Night Breaker is considered the flagship of bulbs due to the pressurised xenon gas construction. There is also a different filament construction to the bulb helping to emit more light. In fact the Night Breaker has 90 percent more light and 35 metres more distance than halogen for night driving. The light emitted is 10 percent clearer. Keen motorists who want the best sight and performance from their headlights should make the choice of the Osram Night Breaker. Upgrading your standard headlight bulbs is a great way to improve night time safety and visibility and with the Osram Cool Blue, Osram Silverstar or Osram Nightbreaker series there should always be a bulb to suit your requirements. Fitting new aftermarket Car Bulbs can be a quick and easy way to really modernise the look of your car lights and it won't cost you too much either. Because there is now a wide range of bulbs to choose from in various fittings, including H7 Xenon, there will always be one to suit your vehicle and your budget.
