I definitely thought the drivers side was brighter. At first I thought I will upgrade our bulbs but then I thought, I like to be parked and set up while it’s still light so I don’t think I’ll be driving in the van in the dark that much and my car already has halogen lamps. I suppose I will keep these bulbs in mind and see how it goes. Thanks as always for sharing your ideas and keeping us entertained. I’m all caught up now so over to Netflix 😂😂

Thanks Sylvia. I don’t do a lot of night time driving either but it gets dark so early in these winter months. Something I forgot to mention about the led bulbs is if it’s foggy the light is blinding when it reflects off the fog. I think these bulbs are the answer. 👍🏻

You really have excelled yourself this time Iān and have turned your LED hiccup into an absolute triumph! It was a brilliant idea to conduct a comparison, and I was going to say the same as Mike Kelly; stick the brighter Osrams in both dipped beam positions which will give you the best night driving set up and make each side of the van "match". I think I'll be buying myself some new bulbs.....

Than you. Very happy with the new halogen bulbs. Took a bit of trial and error but thanks to other peoples knowledge and the fact that they were happy to share that knowledge in the comments I’ve ended up with a really good set of bulbs and no problems with the mot. 👍🏻

According to the government website the rules have changed again regarding LED replacement bulbs see below This special notice tells you about changes to the rules for headlamp conversions. From March 22 2021, not all motorcycles and vehicles will fail the MOT test if their halogen headlamp units have been converted to be used with high intensity discharge (HID) or light emitting diode (LED) bulbs.

I hope you wore gloves when you handled the bulbs as the grease secreted from your fingers on to the bulbs will make them blow after awhile as the heat from the bulb bakes the grease onto the glass weakening it.

I didn’t have gloves on but I made sure I didn’t touch anything apart from the metal base. Hopefully that’s ok but if not…. Oops. Too late. 🙁

Ok. Think I now know what’s best to do. Upgrade to Advanced Halogen. No LED ones. That is unless there is another vlog on the subject. Thanks mate 🚐🙏🐶🐶👍🧙♂️

No more vlogs on bulbs mate. You know what you need to do. They are really good really bright bulbs. I’m gonna get some for my car. 👍🏻

That was worth watching. Now what you can do is put the original bulb in one head light and see what difference the new bulb makes as this will keep me awake now.

Ha ha. Thanks Martin. Don’t lose any sleep over it. Trust me the original ones where a lot more yellow looking. Next time I’m parked next to another cv40 I’ll show you. 👍🏻

Hi Barry. Yes I am happy with the Osram bulbs. People have said that they don’t last as long as standard bulbs but I guess the brightest stars burn out the fastest. I think that’s a saying. If not … it should be. 😂👍🏻

We have the Osram bulbs in ours but the 200% H7 ones plus LED DRLs sidelight bulbs. They look great and legal as the LEDs are only on the DRLs.

I really enjoyed this video! You are a hoot! The results were really surprising ... my Honda, came with yellowish halogen beams, surrounded by an LED trim ... it looks awful, and this may be the perfect solution. So thanks for the much appreciated test and abundant humor. I'm off to find some Osrams!

Thanks for the lovely comments. Osram. You won’t be disappointed. 👍🏻

Brilliant choice of bulbs Ian, we have them in our MINI Countryman as the standard ones are terrible. They don't last as long, but time will give us that answer. I found the packaging on the OSRAM's to be excellent, as they are quite delicate, and as you said, easy to remove as well. Will be getting these for our CV40 when we get it, unless it has LED's fitted :-)
@TravellingfromScratch2 жыл бұрын
Yeah factory fitted led would be great but these are a good second best. 👍🏻
@RickandHeather2 жыл бұрын
We rarely drive in the dark but I must admit on the odd time the yellowness of the standard bulbs is annoying (the DRL especially) that said £40 to swap is a bit pointless at the moment although if we have a bulb go I’ll be doing it.
@TravellingfromScratch2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the comment Ricky. I don’t do a lot of driving in the dark either to be honest but nice to be able to see where I’m going if I do. You’re right…. They’re not cheap. What is these days. Don’t get me started on that. 👍🏻😂
@mikekelly75062 жыл бұрын
Probably best to put the brighter Osrams in the dipped beam either side as you'll probably drive on dipped beam more than main. You've certainly spent a fair bit on bulbs.

Thanks for taking your time on all your videos, very clear and informative, i was just wondering what you did with your Halford bulbs you had in your previous video? Keep up the good work

Hi Gloria. I returned the bulbs to Halfords and got a full refund. 👍🏻

Hi, one year on was the upgrade worth it?, considering the Osram 200% as planning trip into Europe in March and whilst I like to be parked up at night sometimes you just cannot avoid some night time driving for one reason or another. I took the headlight out for access to fuse/relay box so your video was great help and I took extra care retightening the extended screw😀Thank you for the video

I think the o/s headlamp just edges it not worth swapping out just leave them as they are 👍

I agree Stephen. They are what they are now and they are staying that way. I’m happy with the Osram bulbs. Just have to wait and see how long they last now. 😂

I watch with great interest all these van mods and some I'll definitely be doing when my van arrives. What's the mod you've been most pleased with so far and why? Have you regretted any of them? Chris.
@TravellingfromScratch2 жыл бұрын
I regret fitting the led bulbs but just because it was a faff on and I didn’t know at the time that they were an mot failure so I had to take them out again. A lot of effort with no pay off at the end. My favourite mod so far would be a toss up between the secret floor space and the fixed bed. The floor space is great for stashing your camera gear and valuable stuff when you’re away. The bed speaks for itself. Great to not have to make the bed at bed time. 👍🏻

Great informative video, been thru the same with H7s and Canbus error with DRLs. Ian, which bulbs did you settle with for the DRL side lights?, thanks, Les

The side light bulbs were from Halfords. They are brighter than standard and look blue until you turn them on. I’m happy with them. 👍🏻

I do find the nightbreakers don't last as long as ordinary bulbs. Not sure how they get increased brightness with the same technology. Finer filaments perhaps?
@TravellingfromScratch2 жыл бұрын
No idea how they do it but it seems to work. The brighter they are the shorter the life span I’ve heard. Time will tell I guess.

I don’t think they will blind anyone. I’ve tried them out today in the dark and you can tell by other peoples reactions and how much of them you can see when you’re behind them. I think these bulbs fit the bill all round and massive thank you Daz for sharing your knowledge. 👍🏻
