Nightbreaker, how can I tell?

I changed my car last January, and I think I swapped the bulbs from previous to current car, as
I had bought 4 Nightbreaker bulbs. Memory fading rapidly!! Big Cry How can I tell whether I did change
the bulbs. Is there a visual difference between the standard bulb and Nightbreakers, apart from the
brightness? Confused 2013 Dynamic Santorini black

tell taz to go rub his lamp.



broken bulbs with no humbug smell = fakes = poor quality glass = broken bulbs with no humbug smell = = fakes = poor quality glass = broken bulbs with no humbug smell

Its the way of the world mankind invents more and more clever tech to improve our lives, At the same time as this someone else invents a way of making this to a quality where it will just work long enough to sell.
The French have been king of this with their cars
