osram nighbreaker plus x2 , 90% less cost, no dazzling the other road users to the point where they come at you head on in dark country lanes and wipe you out.

  • no dazzling the other road users to the point where they come at you head on in dark country lanes and wipe you out.
  • The stock FZS600 square mk1 head light even when in good condition, its utterly shite. Sticking some slightly better halogens bulbs in there isn't going to make much difference.
  • Projector lights produce even less dazzle than reflector based lights.
Your aware that those projector kits come with HID's, just one them would be brighter than both of those osram halogen bulbs.

Do some objective research to gelp attain the facts right. Look into lumens, Ktemp scatter, watts, amperes, cost, and so much more. 2 nightbreaker unlimited are lumen equal to one 35w HID albeit  temp arround 2k less.
The topic has been discussed to death so I can't be arsed even attempting to sway divided opinion. Stick with HID and best of luck

Here is a vid on youtube between stock halogens, NBU's and a HID kit.
