Almost the same ang ONB+ sa oem color. May thread na dito yan sir at dami na din query on the difference sa stock bulb.

Kung magHID ka sir, be responsible. HID alone will not give you more light and visibility - it should be used on a proper type of headlight(case).

Im no expert in HID pero nakikita ko maporma siya pero mga gunggong tawag ko sa mga irresponsableng naka HID, kasi nakakasilaw sa ibang motorista yan sir both yung nasa harap mo at kasalubong mo.

thanks sir! i also noticed the rather "irresponsible" use of HID, or would it caused by improper installation or just basically, not designed for the particular car? Anyways, im also considering the responsibility side here and not causing untoward inconvenience to others. I always had the impression that HID would give me more light and visibility.

Irresponsible because in the first place why put a bulb not designed for the headlight assembly you have, and the most responsible thing to do is look for an aftermarket headlight assembly (conversion works too, saw a thread by garyq) that will provide necessary stuff to make your hid work seamlessly (not just turning on/off and giving light).

pag HID pair it with a projector and dapat hindi fluted yung headlight lens mo.......... or pa retrofit ka kay sir garyq.

Any feed on the osram? I wanna change my grandias bulb. Cant see well at nite

Hid's are fine on regular headlight assembly, as long as you get the more expensive telescopic hi/lo type. Me umbrella sa dulo yon so hindi kakalat ang liwanag.

Di gaya ng mga gunggong na nagtitipid at bibili ng hid na mura pang motor na single bulb lang. Minsan halogen at hid pinagsama, pero wala pa din umbrella to simulate the low beam .

Mine is the first generation Nightbreaker, it's still working and the light throw is farther, making everything clearer. The newer ones should perform even better.

sir gano na katagal ung ONB mo saka magkano kuha mo? sabi nung mga napagtanungan ko matagal na raw pag umabot ng isang taon.

Sir poorprince eto po nakita ko. Sa kabilang thread, im no expert on HID's pero....

.... well, that's the hate of Tsikoteers I'm one of the first who read this thread but refrained from posting nalang at first.

What you're looking for is the appropriate ballast for it. "HID kits" usually comes with a bulb AND a ballast so if you simply bought the bulb, wag ka na tumipid and purchase the ballast.

But with all due seriousness, even if you have a glare shield. It will only bar the direct output throw.. which is counter-intuitive in a lighting scenario is because you want it as far as you can go (if not, we'll all be driving with our fogs which has a very short throw lang). Not to mention that glare isn't just the direct scattering of light but also the surrounding areas -- the roads, puddles, etc. these will REFLECT the glare.

What I simply suggest is use better halogen lights.. like Osram Nightbreakers as direct replacements for stock lighting.

Hope this will help you in your decision.

Since 2008 or 09 pa. 1.2k kuha ko. Medyo humina na ng konti ang buga, but still better than stock halogen.

bought ONB+ few months ago and mas okei kesa stock bulbs,
mas gusto ko din kulay ng buga nya, mas whiter ng kaunti kesa stock bulb,
but not as white as HIDs.

i have 3M medium black tints sa harap, and i see things clearly padin naman at night.
thou 20/20 vision padin ako.

Where did you buy it? They installed it already?

Cartronics del Monte.

Be sure to get Osram Night Breaker "Plus",
according to reviews, the "plus" correlates to
a longer burning life versus regular ONBs.

Sir, baka po heavily tinted ang windshield ninyo kaya di kayo makakita nang maayos. Have it remove or replaced with a lighter shade. If kulang pa rin, get those NB's

Still not that good. May glare pa rin yan telescopic HIDs. Retrofit pa rin ang best and long term solution

May be Philips X-tremeVision is better in your case. Color temp is a bit lower than Osram NBP and a bit brighter too.

i would go for the ONBs.
More visibility compared to HIDs, imho.
I've tried both, and I went back to the ONBs.
