I drove the car on some dark country roads and these bulbs did a great job of lighting up the road.

Now I need to get some for the highbeams.

Get back to us in 6 months to update on if or how bad they've burnt the inner lenses. Until then, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

Thanks for the heads up.

Osram is a good brand, so hopefully they will be fine. However, I've yet to see a halogen bulb that doesn't cause brown spots or burning eventually. Design flaw with the headlights.

I do appreciate the advice particlewave. I also have an HID kit but thought these bulbs are just a few minute job and less likelihood of odd electrical issues. I might be better off with the HID kit...or just never drive in the dark. For now I will just leave them in and monitor them closely and if I notice anything out of the ordinary then make a change.
