Osram Night breaker plus are a great bulb, but I would also consider upgrading to the Crystal Wipac bowls and that pairing seems to give the best legal light output.

I also have Osram night breakers. With the wipac crystal bowls.
Amazing improvement over standard and for the money, no regrets. However, compared to the led sidelights the osrams look a bit yellow. Maybe the Phillips are the better bulbs to go for? |

Another vote for crystals with night breaker plus lamps. Got mine from amazon direct at 11 a pair for the Osram's. no experience of other upgraded H4's so can't comment on how Osram's are compared to Philips etc.
Cheers Steve |

Land Rover now offer upgraded H4 bulbs themselves, and not expensive either. I had those in my SVX before I changed to the Speakers, and they were a very nice white, (so not blue-ish), definitely much crisper than the original H4's the truck came with. You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Thanks for all your input fellas, I already have crystal bowls fitted but have been running with the bog standard H4's, which I must say are diabolically poor, I have decided to try the nightbreakers, @11 off fleabay I could always try the Philips at a later date
