For the 2.2, any flavours of the month? One went pop few weeks back, I popped a random spare in that I had in the garage. Now the other one went pop 

Was thinking Osram Night Breaker Unlimited....

It's between the nighbreakers, and the new boys in town, the Philips Xtreme vision, which have been uprated over the last couple of years to 130% or therabouts. Looking at reviews, seems like these are outperforming the Nightbreakers now. Don't own either, but I'm upgrading some point soon and tempted by the Philips...

[minifreek]

Do you fellas not have xenons installed...?

BUT

I have Nightbreakers installed in my other motor and they are brilliant and well worth it TBH... dunno about the Philips Xtremes though...

Xenons in the 3.2, normal projectors in the 2.2.

IIRC you had Nightbreakers in Mr T?

These higher output bulbs are known to give more illumination at the cost of shorter life.


I personally have the Phillips Vision version of the Osram Nightbreakers, both much the same.  Hellfrauds do their version that might be almost competitive on trade maybe? I think I paid £15 for the pair of Visions.

I have Nightbreakers fitted to my Vectra.......I mean Signum.

Illumination has gone from shit to slightly less shit.

I would look into HIDS......apparently the 55w HIDS are superior to the 35w HIDS. At least according to the Vectra C boys.

Is this because the  2.2 is not a proper Omega?.....

  Some of us on ABS are starting to look at LED upgrades. Cost is supposadly £35 a kit. Couple are trialing them at the moment. Maybe doing my latest Zaf with them. If I do, will report back my findings

This could prove interesting.

Are the xenons standard on the Facelifts or MiniFacelifts or is it just the Elites....?

Sorry to sound a bit thick, but only ever come across xenons in any Omega I found in a scrappy...?

Elite and MV6 only, I believe.

....and possibly CDX.

[minifreek]

Aaah OK.... thanks for clearing that up Doctor

Aye Nightbreakers. They have lasted about 4 years. So can't complain

Pre facelift Elites only, post facelift CDX, Elite and Plod... Might have been  a cost option on MV6 but at work, so don't have the brochure to hand...
