I tried nightbreakers before the leds...massive current draw and still not that much better plus the aggro of uprating the fuse. Just my humble opinion lads...I didn't want the pull of two amp heavy bulbs on the alternator all through winter, and I preffered the brilliant blue white of the leds. they aint cheap I know..but they are leagues apart from anything else and for me personally with my old eyes worth it in terms of safety alone.
