    "80 watt" osram h7 bulbs

    I thought the 80 watts might've been marketing hogwash or at a different voltage or something like that and be very similar bulbs to the old osrams. Thank you for the information.

    "80 watt" osram h7 bulbs

    2009 Jetta high beams I'm just looking for a replacement for the osram 64217 bulbs without having to have an email conversation with Daniel Stern (not that I have anything against the guy; I don't know him) like I'm buying something off Craigslist.

    Automotive v household lighting

    How is it that an H1 automotive bulb, introduced in 1962, outputs ~1550 lumens, but a "75-watt equivalent, 53-watt actual" household halogen incandescent bulb, only recently widely available (in the US, at least), outputs roughly one-half to two-thirds the amount of light...

    Thanks. How does it accomplish this though?

    H7 vs H9

    So my perception that the 65w Osram Rallye H7 is slightly more glaring than an ordinary H7 may not solely be due to the increased overall light output. Are there H7 bulbs with a higher peak luminosity in the center of the beam without throwing more light everywhere? Is this what the +XX bulbs...

    Those Horrible and Illegal HID Conversions...Again

    Re: Low/High Beam Position I was also wondering this. It seems counter intuitive.

    H7 vs H9

    Is the filament coil in an H9 bulb or Osram Rallye 65w H7 larger than the filament coil in a normal 55w H7 bulb?

    VW Jetta H7 Suggestions

    I'm pretty sure every 5 years or less is too high a frequency to be installing new headlights.

    VW Jetta H7 Suggestions

    It's a 2009 Jetta Sportwagen SE. The headlights are aimed how they would be after 5 years of driving and vibration and roadbumps. They have never been adjusted after having left the dealership. I don't assume this means they're aimed correctly but I can see with them and I don't have other...

    VW Jetta H7 Suggestions

    Is it legal in North Carolina to put the 65watt Osram Rallye bulbs in one's low beams and/or high beams? Is it ill advised to replace all four H7 bulbs with them?

    High Beams vs Low Beams

    This may be a dumb question & for that I apologize. My vehicle has a pair of stock Osram Sylvania 55 watt H7 bulbs for the low beams and another pair of seemingly identical bulbs (also H7) for the high beams. The apparent brightness of the high beams is significantly greater than that of the...
