Bosch H7 (499) Plus 200 Gigalight Halogen Headlight Bulbs, 12 V 55 W, 200% more Light - Socket Type PX26d - Pack of 2 Replacement Car Light Bulbs

I have a 2013 Peugeot 208 which has never had the best light output even when using extra bright halogen bulbs so thought I would give these ago. I was a little sceptical as to whether there would be an improvement or not as my car doesn't have projector lights however the difference is far more than expected. The light is a much brighter white light which improves visibility on those dark lanes in the winter. Where I would have to use full beams before I haven't had to since switching to these. The bulbs are a little expensive, however I do feel they offer value for money given the colour of the light it makes them more functional than even the extra bright halogen bulbs. For anyone who's ever installed bulbs before you know how simple they are to fit, do take notice of which way they are installed though as it's possible to install the with the beam pattern in the wrong direction which could cause issues for oncoming road users. I was a little concerned other road users may be affected by the brighter led light emitted but that doesn't appear to be the case as long they fitted correctly.

Brighter than standard lamps but not so bright that it is too much. Have installed these in a VW Golf Mk7 after one of the original lamps failed, these are brighter and whiter than the original lamps, but unlike the LED lamps that are fitted to a lot of new vehicles they are not so bright that they dazzle oncoming vehicles. I can't speak for the longevity of these as I've only had them a few months but I know that these brighter lights last a lot less than the low cost standard ones, so I expect to have to replace them after around one year. Fitting is pretty easy if a bit fiddly for someone like me with big hands, and requires no special tools other than a pair of latex gloves to keep you from touching the lamp.

The Bosch H7 Ultra White bulb offers a noticeable upgrade from standard halogen headlights. Installation was straightforward, and once fitted, the difference in brightness and clarity was immediately clear. The light has a crisp, white tone that enhances visibility during night driving without being harsh or distracting for oncoming traffic. It also adds a subtle style touch—there’s just enough of that “xenon-look” for a premium feel, which complements the overall look of the car nicely. The beam pattern is consistent and wide enough to cover road edges clearly. ✅ Pros: • Bright and clean white light for improved nighttime visibility • Stylish output without veering into overly blue hues • Easy to install—no special tools needed • Trusted Bosch quality ❌ Cons: • Lifespan slightly shorter than expected for a premium bulb • Doesn’t quite match the whiteness of full xenon or LED options Verdict: A dependable and easy upgrade for safer, sleeker driving. While not the ultimate in brightness or longevity, it’s a solid step up and worth considering if you’re after better performance with a touch of flair.

Although not an LED it's defantly a bright white light

Great value, speedy delivery, quality lighting

I do a lot of mileage each year. 230 miles a day, 13 days a month = 36k miles a year and that's just for work. I don't include my social life which is probably 30 miles on my days off so 17 x 30 = 46k miles a year. I would say on average I do about 60k miles a year. When I go to work it is day but I come home 115 miles in the dark. I have tried multiple brands for lights and this one is supposed to be the brightest on the road Now I will give you the best description of this product It is not the brightest bulb, nor is the colour particularly nice, however it does project well down the road probably more than the other bulbs I have tried. However when I drive at night, as soon as I get off the main roads I use my main beam which actually gives me clarity. I perfectly has the Osram laser lights which again are supposed to be bright. Oh they are bright and definitely brighter than these however at £25 for 2 bulbs they barely last 8k miles before they blew. These Philips however I have done 18k miles on them on all day all night and they are still going. Now they aren't the brightest so I have the caveat that if you are using them solely around area that are NOT streetlight then I would avoid. If you live in a city these are fine and will do you well. I live in the country so for say 40% of my return journey they are fine but when it gets dark although I can see further I can't see clearly. Many times I've been driving with these and I would see maybe 2 car lengths ahead but the second car I couldn't see. I know we have main beams for that kind of darkness however the shift from main to these is so dramatic you feel like you are driving blind. So would I recommend them. As I said city they are fine. Countryside no. Anything rural you need the Osrams. They are the best bucks but just terrible life span.

Excellent bright light bulbs.. Replacement for OE bulbs, much brighter than standard, Excellent quality

Massive improvement on the +90 version as you might expect from the name +200. Now have a spare set too given the amount of pot holes in the UK.

Orderd 2 H7 light bulbs from Bosch, because it is a reputable brand. And guess what: light is coming out of them! :-) A nice, rather white light, too. less yellow-ish than what regular halogen bulbs produce. Good visibility. Recommended, at least if they prove to be durable.

Fajne światło, białe, bardzo dobrze oświetla drogę. Poprzednio miałem gigalight 150 i działały 2 lata. Polecam

Pour éclairer, ça éclaire! Bon produit

Die Bosch H7 Plus 200 Gigalight Lampen sind ein echtes Upgrade für jedes Auto. Schon beim ersten Einschalten merkt man den Unterschied: deutlich heller als die Standard-Birnen, mit einem klaren, weißen Licht, das die Straße viel besser ausleuchtet. 🌙✨ Gerade bei Nachtfahrten oder Regen ist die Sicht spürbar verbessert – Schilder und Fahrbahnmarkierungen sind klarer zu erkennen, und das Auge ermüdet weniger. Die Lichtfarbe ist angenehm neutralweiß, ohne dieses grelle, bläuliche Leuchten, das man von manch anderen „extra hellen“ Lampen kennt. Die Montage ist wie gewohnt einfach: alte Lampe raus, neue rein, fertig. Auch qualitativ merkt man die typische Bosch-Verarbeitung – robust, zuverlässig und langlebig. Natürlich halten solche leistungsstärkeren Birnen oft etwas kürzer als Standardmodelle, aber der Zugewinn an Helligkeit macht das locker wett. Fazit: Ein starkes Upgrade für mehr Sicherheit und Komfort beim Fahren. Wer nachts oft unterwegs ist, wird den Unterschied sofort sehen – im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes. 🔦✅

Ho montato queste Bosch H7 Gigalight Plus 200 sugli anabbaglianti della mia Renault Clio 2. I fari originali (in policarbonato e un po' opacizzati dal tempo) facevano ormai poca luce, rendendo la guida notturna stancante. Volevo il massimo della potenza possibile restando però nella legalità (lampada alogena), e queste Bosch sono state una rivelazione. Prestazioni e Visibilità: La promessa del "+200%" va presa con le pinze (è un dato da laboratorio), ma su strada la differenza è netta: Profondità: Il fascio di luce arriva davvero più lontano rispetto alle lampadine standard da supermercato. In strade extraurbane buie, si notano ostacoli e cartelli con molto anticipo. Luminosità: Il punto focale (l'hotspot) davanti all'auto è molto più intenso. Colore: La luce è decisamente più bianca di una alogena standard (che tende al giallino smorto), ma non è bianca ghiaccio/blu come uno Xenon o un LED. È un bianco caldo molto brillante che non affatica la vista e, soprattutto, "buca" bene la nebbia e la pioggia (dove i LED bianchissimi spesso falliscono). Durata (Nota importante): Bisogna essere consapevoli di una cosa: fisica. Per fare più luce a parità di watt (55W), il filamento è più sottile e brucia a temperatura più alta. Aspettativa: Non dureranno anni come le lampadine "Long Life". Se cercate lampadine eterne, queste non fanno per voi. Se cercate la massima luce, questo è il compromesso da accettare. PRO: ✅ Visibilità eccellente: Probabilmente le alogene più potenti che abbia mai provato (se la giocano con le Osram Night Breaker). ✅ Omologate: Nessun rischio di multe o problemi alla revisione. ✅ Attacco preciso: La base PX26d è ben fatta, si incastrano perfettamente nel portalampada senza giochi. CONTRO: ❌ Longevità: Come tutte le lampadine "High Performance", la durata è inferiore allo standard. Consiglio di tenerne sempre una di scorta nel cassettino. ❌ Prezzo: Costano più delle standard, ma la sicurezza in più le ripaga. Verdetto: Se guidate spesso di notte su strade poco illuminate, queste lampadine sono un investimento sulla sicurezza, non solo estetica. Svecchiano l'auto e vi permettono di vedere molto meglio. Le ricomprerò sicuramente quando si bruceranno.
