Good morning all,
I need to replace my Osram Night Breaker H4 in a 2004 Harley with a 7" headlight. It has served me well with about a 2 year +/- lifespan and now I am looking for something even slightly brighter, if possible. I do not want any toys like plug n play LED or HID or "blue" halogens, although I have considered a quality retrofit LED (JW Speaker, etc.) or HID complete headlight assembly. But for now, I think I will wait just a little longer and keep with the halogens. I would like to get at least 2 years (which is approximately 200 hours for me). Of course more is better but I would set my lower level at 200 hours and I like the "bright white" color (3700K-4300K) and don't need blue.
Is the Philips +100 or Tungsram Megalight +120/GE Nighthawk Zenon still the best for my criteria or have they been surpassed by the +150 versions (RacingVision/Laser, respectively). Or something even better?
I am generally a lurker here and I value the advice of experts, and timely information, and in this particular bulb size I couldn't find any threads less than a year old. So, what is the current state of the art?
Thank you
