OSRAM Xenarc Night Breaker 220, D2S, 220% More Brightness, Xenon Headlight Bulb, 66240XN2-2HB, 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.

Simply amazing. 2014 Lexus LX570. Replaced the OEM bulbs which were getting really dim. These are a solid increase in brightness vs OEM when they were brand new. Not 220% but probably 20-30% increase. They are slightly more blue than stock but it’s not noticeable when driving. They’re also not so bright that you would blind oncoming traffic. Great price too. Autozone wanted $140 for just one bulb. Now driving at night is a pleasure instead of an inconvenience

I purchased an Audi that someone thought “blue lights” would be a pretty cool look. Hint - they were not. At all. They were shoddy 10000k “big blue box store” bargain bulbs that shed as much light as the their value permitted. The stock halogen fog lamps provided more visibility of the road. It was time for something better. Brighter, and in the right color spectrum to actually SEE the road. The Osrams met the need perfectly. Burning at a visible 4200k whiter shade, the road was suddenly visible. Night driving felt safer, and the overall look of the beam was significantly better. While having a steeper sticker price, I feel I got the best value for my investment. If you’re looking for some decent Xenon bulbs, I’d highly recommend these Osrams, especially if you’re driving in a region where the weather isn’t always clear.

I have tried many LED replacements and found none last as long as the original DS Xenon. LEDs 1 year, DS Xenon 4 years. The LEDs may be whiter but that does not matter if the total cost of ownership is 4x. If you want more lumens, do not believe the claims by LED purveyors. Add another fixture / kit.

These were a great replacement for my 2008 E90 328i after one of my bulbs burned out. The color is still a blue tint at first, but it warms up slightly to almost a pure white after a minute or so. I wanted something in the middle of yellow and that SUPER blue xenon, and I'm very satisfied with the color of this and how it's performed in a variety of weather conditions.

The size and fitment as just like the factory bulbs, no issues there. However I was disappointed by the light output, the box says up to 220% brighter. However these appear to have the same light output as the the original 10 year old bulbs that were in my Lexus.

Two years of problems with seized adjusters and technical issues and finally, new bulbs. Brighter and crisper and and I'm now a happy man! The old DS3's were badly oxidized around the inner glass and cast a horrible image making it nearly impossible to align the bulbs. These are terrific, so much brighter and I can confidently drive at night.

Meilleures ampoules du marché… L’éclairage et nettement plus performant que des ampoules constructeurs pourtant cher à la vente, la différence de prix n’est pas énorme mais la qualité par contre et bien supérieur ! Éclairage très puissant, faisceau très bien dessiné, aucun éblouissement, en plus de rouler en sécurité ou préserver vos ballast d’origine, car les ampoules bas de gamme abîme les ballast d’origine, on finalité acheter des ampoules, bas de gamme reviendra plus cher, car il faudra changer les ballasse alors qu’avec des ampoules de cette qualité, les ballast sont préserver, je recommande fortement, clairement on voit la différence de fabrication entre les anciennes bas de gammes et les nouvelles !

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. Tiampo 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
