Am looking at upgrading the headlight bulbs in my 2007 Honda Element SC. I am considering these. Hi-beam and low-beam are separate bulbs.

OSRAM Night Breaker Plus HB3 9005 (Twin Pack)
OSRAM NIGHT BREAKER UNLIMITED H11 Headlight Bulbs (Twin Pack)

Anyone have experience with the Osram brand? Other aftermarket brands you recommend?

Thanks in advance.

Not so much for headlights but many of our very high end microscopes use OSRAM lamps. If they are good enough to be OEM on a half million dollar microscope system they'll probably be just fine in your car.

No experience but the specs seem ok. The color temp is still a proper white bulb. You don't want to be one of those guys rolling down the road with blue lights.

Jeebus I hate those. I'm also not a fan of the Audi eyebrows under the headlights. :saywhat:

I do too and I have them. With the amount of driving I do in my car, they will last longer than I do.

Those LED eyebrows are showing up on quite a few cars these days but yeah, Audi started it.
