United Kingdom 

been out tonight in the FL with Osrams and the other with Halfords. Not a huge difference but I think the Halford have the edge.

Think I will buy a set as spares for when the Osrams break. Still go the originals as spares but as we do a lot of country driving, no street lights I am after the most light possible.

So - goodbye Osrams, all the hype and no staying power at a cost that is very expensive when you calculate the short life span.

First set I used lasted 12 months and all 4 failed within a very short time of each other (about a month I think). Replaced with same now 9 months in. It will be interesting to see if this set lasts a year.

I have to say that given the palaver involved in changing a bulb on the FL2 I am thinking of trying something else next time if the longevity of current bulbs isn't significantly greater than the last set. I like the extra light they give but not the lack of reliability.


i put in the halfords bulbs, they both failed with a month - halfords swapped them with out any quibbles ( or receipt)

fingers crossed the HB3's i had in there were a dodgy batch. Both exploded so the halfords fitters took them to send back
