Xenarc Night Breaker 220, D1S, +220% More Brightness, Xenon Headlight Bulb, 66140XN2-2HB, Folding Box (2 Lamps)

I’ve been using the Osram Night Breaker series for over four years on all my vehicles, and I’ve always been impressed with the results. This time, I finally had the chance to replace the xenon bulbs on my Subaru Outback, and again, the difference is huge. I did a proper comparison test — “before” and “after” — using the exact same camera settings, and the results speak for themselves. The light output is dramatically brighter, clearer, and more evenly distributed. 📸 I’ve attached photos from inside the car and from the street to show the real-world improvement. 🧩 I also verified the bulbs’ authenticity through Osram’s official website. The code on the box matched perfectly with both individual bulb codes — 100% genuine. I really appreciate how easy Osram makes this verification process. 🔍 In the close-up photo, you can see a small white residue inside the bulb’s capsule (near the center). That’s not dust or a defect — it’s metal halide salts, a normal component of genuine xenon bulbs. They vaporize when heated to produce the correct light spectrum. If you notice something similar, don’t worry — it’s completely normal for xenon and actually confirms the bulb’s authenticity. 💡 The color temperature is a pleasant neutral white (around 4300–4500K) — bright and natural, without the blue tint some cheaper bulbs have. After several years of experience with this series, I can confidently say that Osram Night Breaker delivers outstanding quality, proven reliability, and real performance improvements. Replacing the xenon bulbs in my new car with these felt like an essential upgrade — and it absolutely paid off. 🔥

I installed the OSRAM Xenarc Night Breaker 220 D2S bulbs on my vehicle, and the improvement was immediately noticeable. The 220% brightness gain is not an exaggeration—these bulbs produce a cleaner, whiter beam with significantly better road coverage compared to the OEM xenon bulbs I previously used. Night driving feels safer, especially on rural or unlit roads where visibility is critical. What I appreciate most is the excellent beam uniformity, which reduces glare and increases peripheral visibility. The bulbs also ignite quickly and maintain consistent brightness. Pros Substantial brightness upgrade (true 220% improvement) Crisp white color temperature without appearing blue Strong beam uniformity and long-distance throw OSRAM-grade reliability Cons Slightly higher price compared to generic D2S bulbs Installation requires careful handling due to xenon bulb sensitivity Verdict For anyone seeking a high-performance yet reliable xenon upgrade, the Night Breaker 220 is absolutely worth the investment. This is one of the most impactful lighting improvements I’ve made.

Authentic OSRAM. The light color is just what I wanted and the intensity his noticeably better than stock. Not sure of the lifespan for these brighter bulbs, time will tell.

This is the highest rated HID/Xenon bulb on Bulbfacts that does independent third-party testing on all lights for cars. On your BMW, every YouTube says to jack up your car and remove the wheel. They're all wrong. Instructions: Safety First - Chock your rear wheel opposite the side you're working on. Put your parking brake on and car in gear if manual. 1) When installing driver side, turn your steering wheel to full lock left. Vice versa for passenger side. 2) Remove the inner fender liner. You'll need 8mm socket, 10mm socket. Use extensions if your arms are too big or short. 3) Unscrew the T20 Torx over the bulb cover. You need to remove everything except one. I left the one on the hardest corner to remove (bottom right - see pic) because it'll allow you to rotate loosey. 4) Remove the bulb by undoing the two clips, install the new bulb, make sure you don't touch or damage the elements 5) Reinstall bulb cover and fender liner. Repeat on the other side. Overall, easy install and the best bulb on the market for all makes and models that take a D1S. Remember, your lights are designed to focus an arc, not an LED. LEDs no matter how bright are not optimized for you Bimmer.

These lights do seem substantially brighter than the original bulbs, but it's hard to tell for sure since the originals were so old. One note - when replacing the bulbs, I did have to substantially adjust the aim after installation. Note that there's no extra padding in the packaging, but the bulbs seemed unharmed in transit.

The Night Breaker 220 bulbs provide an objective improvement over OEM lighting. Lights were received in sealed factory packaging and passed Osram's product authentication process via the Osram Trust website. Based on all the reviews I could find, these are the best road legal bulbs available.

I don't know what all those 5 stars are about. They cost $160 and on top of that I paid $150 to have them installed in my X5. I can barely see the difference from my 15 year old Xenons. I thought maybe it was me. Then I compared it with the 5000 lumen flashlight I bought from Costco for $29. The flashlight was MUCH, MUCH brighter. And WHITER. The light was 4500 K, which is amber.. Not white! Then I bought the SEALIGHT H11/H8/H9 Fog Bulbs, X4I 55,000LM ($90) , and hooked it up to my battery charger to test it out their claim. It was many, many times brighter than the Costco flashlight, validating their 55,000 claim. The OSRAM was not even in the same ballpark! Then I looked at the spec of the OSRAM -- 3200 lumens. No wonder! But what the heck --- $160 for a bulb that's questionably better than a 15 year old Xenons?!! Unfortunately the Swalights are not compatible with my X5, so I am looking for something that actually is bright, but compatible. Anyway $310 down the drain.

I recently installed the OSRAM XENARC NIGHT BREAKER 220 (D4S) bulbs in my Lexus IS300h and the difference is truly remarkable. These bulbs are easily one of the best upgrades I’ve made to my car. The brightness is a massive boost. The 220% claim is spot on; the light output is powerful, clear and reaches much further down the road. This makes night driving safer and more comfortable, especially on unlit roads. The bulbs also produce a crisp, clean light. The colour temperature gives a modern, premium look that complements the IS300h perfectly. Road signs and lane markings are clear and easy to read, eliminating the need for squinting or guessing. Installation was a breeze. The bulbs were easy to swap and once installed they powered up without any flicker warning lights or compatibility issues. OSRAM’s reputation for quality shines through. The bulbs feel sturdy and the beam pattern is precise with zero glare to oncoming traffic when aligned correctly. Overall, if you drive a car and want a dramatic improvement in night visibility without resorting to aftermarket LED bulbs, the OSRAM NIGHT BREAKER 220 D4S bulbs are definitely worth it. They’re a true premium upgrade!

Se ven nuevas y la página de osram confirma que son auténticas,no llegan para nada protegidas simplemente un sobre de papel para algo fragil y caro,la caja trae alguna marca o rozadura al igual que el precinto de la caja.Quiero creer que no se abrió,viéndolo como queda una vez abierto por mi.Esta bien pegado pero marcas de intentar algo tiene.Si las toco alguien no lo puedo decir,espero que duren al menos la garantía de 3 años comparadas a las originales que duraron 7.5 años.En cuanto al brillo y color actualizaré la reseña pero a simple vista y en comparación con las usadas osram original(7.5 años 102k km) son mas blancas y tienen mas brillo,si no fuera así sería decepciónante,esto en el primer encendido y se supone que necesitan unas horas de funciomiento para alcanzar el color y el brillo definitivos.Montadas el día 26/01/2026 a los 102000km veremos lo que duran.Actualizaré mi reseña con fotos comparando el antes y después y expresando mi opinión en cuanto las use en carretera.En la foto se ven con suelo mojado en modo normal y en modo adaptativo en ciudad.Las fotos A son las originales y A2 es la original en modo adaptativo como se pone en ciudad.Las fotos B y B2 son estas bombillas+220.En las fotos y por la luz del garaje no se aprecia muy bien pero son más blancas y dan más luz... ¿Justfican la diferencia de precio? Diría que SI contando que las originales tienen 7.5 años y 102k km.Si las comparamos con unas originales nuevas desde luego que NO.En mi caso mis faros son nuevos y supongo que resaltan el blanco y el brillo porque mis faros anteriores con 7 años y las osram originales usadas eran mucho más amarillas que en estos farosde midio año y apenas uso.Si los faros fueran los anteriores con 100k km que de por si amarillean...pues a lo mejor resulta que ese blanco que dan y ese algo mas de luz se podría considerar una mejora si es que el faro usado no las amarillea del todo.Desde luego cambiarlas en un coche nuevo o con faros nuevos y originales nuevas en ningún momento se justifica pagar el sobreprecio.En cuanto a carretera secundaria y autopista sin iluminación o en mojado si son excelentes.Sobre todo en mojado,destacar que no deslumbran con el reflejo en absoluto y eso es un gran descanso para la vista.Son unas bombillas excelentes y caras.Supongo que si duran manteniendo esa intensidad por lo menos los 3 años de garantía y se estiran otro par de añitos pues estan en precio de mercado,si se funden rápido o pierden intensidad sería un producto bastante caro y decepciónante.Despues de unos cuantos días de uso realmente me doy cuenta de que alumbran muy bien Tiempo al tiempo e iremos viendo...tic-tac...tic-tac.

Las compré para un bmw e63, si mejoro bastante un 30% a la luz original, no tan blanca como el led pero así mejor para la niebla y mayor penetración totalmente recomendable. Además los conductores en contrasentido sin problemas, no hay deslumbramiento se ve perfecto en la carretera.

Super produit.merci

Not a night breaker. Fixed in my LS430. Average light as my previous lamp nothing ovious as they are marketing 220% extra bright
