I use to use the expensive Sylvania forget which one but they we're pricey. Posted on here several months ago and someone recommended the Osram night breaker 220 h4. They we're $29 but now up to $35 they are way brighter that the Sylvania I was using.

Pros: way brighter
Cons: pricey

On the Osrams... I put a set on my 2017 GSW S about a year ago, and have been very happy. They're not as bright as the top-end LEDs that are on cars like Teslas, but they crush the old halogens for brightness, have good cutoff and color, don't vibrate or flicker, etc.

Pros: good cutoff and color
Cons: not as bright as LEDs
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I'm night blind and my 2025 BE headlights are fantastic. I'm not sure if I'm half retarded, but it almost seems like the Matrix is activated from the factory. My menu has "dynamic lights" able to be activated, and they work great.

Pros: headlights are fantastic

Yes I'm running the same Osrams on my Swift for the last year and a half and it's excellent. Proper beam cutoff with a much better high beam for when people are hogging the fast lane on the expressway

Pros: proper beam cutoff
Vehicle: Suzuki Swift

Osram H4 LEDriving replacement headlight with Warm White 4200K LED.

It was a simple plug and play mod. The light output have increased at least 100%. It's not irritating to incoming traffic like the 6000K+ white LEDs. The warm white color also helps in rain and fog.

Pros: simple plug and play

  • Condensation:
Rating 3.5

My 2024 does this when the weather fluctuates, it clears up after a bit once the weather stabilizes or the mid morning sun hits it. I was also told it's normal to an extent, fog or light condensation will clear up. Was told to let them know if it looks like water is running down inside, streaking, doesn't clear up, puddles, or if the whole thing fogs up, then the overall seal has failed or is faulty.

Pros: condensation clears up
Cons: condensation occurs

The halogen headlights are not good at all. The visibility on low beam is poor and I almost have to rely on high beam. I am planning to upgrade but would like to know what others recommend.

Cons: poor low beam visibility

The default setting for the headlights were adjusted as high as they went. Annoyingly you couldn't change it whilst driving, you had to root around in the infotainment.

Cons: default setting too high, difficult to adjust
Vehicle: Volkswagen
