Did we determine if these were a good alternative to increase out light output? I am not happy with how far up the road my lights shine at night.

Is it more of thermals or UV that causes the breakdown on these lenses?

Spending sleepless nights on the internets revealed that we should be using H7u bulbs which have a UV rating designed for polycarbonate headlight assemblies.

So, I would like to upgrade my bulbs from 1998 stock. I do not want to brown my lenses. I want to stay with the stock headlamps with minimal cost, so it will be a H7. My question is.. which one?

I discovered that the "night breaker" OSRAM. Various websites including Amazon state they are "UV safe" for plastic lenses.
