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.

Excellent throw and the warmer temperature is easier on the eyes. I installed these on several family cars because safety is paramount for the ones you care about. They fit perfectly in our cars, just make sure you confirm compatible tu for yours. Installation took five minutes. I’ll update later on lifespan.

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.

Kungen av alla lampor. Bara BÄST helt enkelt och därför väldigt prisvärd.

Las he montado en un Mercedes clase C del año 2013 y van genial, este coche tiene faros con proyectores y de fábrica monta lámparas xenón, hice la conversión a led y en días de lluvia o niebla no se veía bien, probé unas lámparas xenón de marca china y perdieron brillo y calidad de luz en poco tiempo. Estas lámparas de Osram son de muy buena calidad la luz es blanca de 4300k no es excesivamente clara comparada con luces led, pero tiene un brillo potente y se ve a gran distancia. En condiciones adversas de lluvia y niebla funcionan muy bien. Estoy muy contento con estas lámparas porque me dan un plus de seguridad por la noche y en condiciones adversas. La calidad hay que pagarla.

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!

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.
