Seems many of us are taking advantage of Powerbulbs' 20% off. ~$111 for Nightbreakers was a no-brainer compared to stateside pricing. I'm looking forward to installing them when I open up my headlights in the next couple of weeks for LED halo ring installation.

Headlight upgrades all around!

I don't know if I should install them when I get them, or if I should wait until I build a new set of headlights with the Evoxr projectors and be completely blown away by the upgrade.

I got my night breakers installed last week. They're great!

I'm having the shop also replace a dying front park distance sensor next week. Any other lights I should have them replace while they're doing that?

While I was swapping out the D2S bulbs with my new Osram NBU (also ordered from Power Bulbs and very happy with new brightness over 10 years old factory bulbs) I also installed H1 Phillips Xtreme in my high beams and a nice difference as well.

Since I swapped in pre-facelift fog projectors (H3 bulb housing/connection) I also went with Osram NightBreaker Unlimited H3's, BUT I have to say I do not think they are any brighter at ALL over the normal Osram 55w H3 bulbs that were in there, so that was a waste in my opinion...

Thanks for the info. I was thinking about doing my fogs and leaving the high beams alone. But I'll skip those since they aren't any better.

I don't really use the high beams very often since I have to hold the stalk for them to turn on. And my indy won't code them to come on for me.

I just ordered mine, I have the low and high beam to replace .

Installed mine today. Big improvement. I think I should get a second set for the S5.

I installed new bulbs with great improvement.
Is there any instructions on aiming the headlights?

I'm not getting any oncoming flashing, but would prefer
the lights to broadcast further down the road.

I usually find a poorly lit building with a large FLAT/LEVEL parking lot, park around 100ft away, then set the top cutoff line about 16" up the wall (headlights are about 32" high). This will put the top cutoff line about 200' ahead on a level road.

Don't forget to bring a towel!

You will need to cover the headlight not being adjusted to see the adjusting beam clearly.

Side to side adjustment. The beam has a _/ shape, the left beam corner should SLIGHTLY left (around 10") of the driver site line forward (about 1/2 the distance from site line to left side of vehicle, 20"), the right beam corner about 26" to the right of the left beam corner (also measured at 100'). this will have the beam corners meeting around 200' ahead (because the low beam bulbs are 52" apart).
