Not impressed with OSRAM Xenarc Night Breaker Laser D2S
Does anyone have these bulbs and how's their performance after the said 2 weeks bake time?

I have them in my 2004 4.4 w. factory adaptive headlights. I bought them because i was very dissapointed over the relatively weak light output from the standard xenon bulbs. First i bought new oem bulbs, but it was only a small improvement. So next step was to try the Night Breakers. And they are definately brighter. And yes, they need a little burn-in time to reach their optimal performance. But i still don't have nearly the same light output as i had in my old E39 w. standard xenon bulbs. I have settled on the conclusion that the E53 headlight internals (the lenses in particular) simply are of inferior quality/design to fx. the E39.

Holy cow, that looks like a view from Lincoln square or something? Looks familiar from the MS offices. I wonder if there's an E53 meetup pugent sound region.

I sold my E39 just short of 300K miles. Now that was a well built car.
Do you have xenons in your E39? And if so, how is the light output and sharpness of the beam pattern compared to the X?

Yes but originally it had halogen from factory. I updated it with euro OEM xenons. The light output is great but I wouldn't say drastically better than my X5. Actually my X5 had really good light output when I first got her. It deteriorated after changing the bulbs. There's also a time I removed the headlights while ugrading the front bumpers to 4.8is version. I suspect they're not properly aimed.

Still a fan of the night breakers I put in 3 years ago. Was a significant improvement over what was in there (tired OE Phillips). Definitely seen brighter lights, but I think the projectors are the limiting factors on our generation BMW's vs. the bulbs being used.
