all this expensive bulbs are still rated at 55w.. same as stock OEM bulbs.
it is advisable not to resort to cheaper 80/100w or rally-spec bulbs in order to have a brighter light.
this high energy bulbs, while giving brighter light, might shorten the lifespan of your headlight's reflector and headlights wiring. new headlights aren't cheap at all.

yup. based on the video you posted up can see the Osram NB's have a longer and wider throw of the light.
once my original OE bulbs go this will be in my shopping list.
