Improvising Night Vision for my Renault Grand Espace Mk III 2001


Well, i did not write for quite sometimes due to travelling (business matters). Recently during my travelling at night in our Renault Grand Espace, I noticed that the light from the main headlamp is so not good compared to our other cars (a Saga FL, and Jaguar S type 2003).

The existing bulb is a Philips unit that has been loyally serving us for more than 3 years. But due to safety driving at night, I try to change to a better alternatives that is effective and efficient in terms of costs and practicality. Some friends have been using some Philips hi end models but friends whom used the Osram Night Breaker bulbs said that the difference is quite significant.

Therefore, I bought the bulb online (mudah.my) and costs me RM131 with postage. Well, the result, very good. significantly better than the previous standard bulb. But, the life of this high performance bulb is not as good as the standard bulb. I think I am ok with that.. as long it is safer. and worth the money.

well, a little hard to see via camera, but visible difference
to naked eyes (right is the new Osram night breaker, left the
standard Philips bulb)
