What I've read suggests that Osram Sylvania and Phillips are probably the same company, but who knows. The headlight burning may just be random.

So you're saying not all H7s are made the same. Interesting. Not sure I buy it, but it's certainly not impossible. IMHO it's in-service time that's the story.

I had 4 different H7s in my car when I put in the projectors: GE, Phillips (MO15 and KO25) and an Osram.
