If your head lights are the same as we get here in NZ, I'm not sure the Night Breakers are really worth the extra expense (about AUD$80 extra); as the Xenons aren't Bi-Xenon and are used as low-beams only, I'm not sure you'll get much advantage from the brighter lamp.
But this is conjecture on my part - I haven't tried them. I only know that replacing the 11 year old lamps with new ones made a BIG difference, to the low beams vision. High beam hasn't changed at all, as I expected.
Might be a very different case with Bi-Xenon headlights, where the Xenon lamp's shield is retracted at high beam and the full lamp output is used? Then the Night Breakers are likely a benefit.
YMMV...
