Default Installed OSRAM 65W 12V H7 PX26d High and Low

Since my new 2014 BMW X1 and 08 XF both use H7 bulbs in the high and low headlights, I bought (10) OSRAM 65W 12V H7 PX26d bulbs. They have 700 more lumens than stock without the fake light curtailing blue tint. And they're rated to last about as long as stock bulbs, which can't be said for the Silverstars. It's a very noticeable improvement in output and distance over stock, and the bulbs I replaced were virtually new.

Got 10 for $50 on the 'bay and have 2 spares
they usually run $14/per bulb

Are these the ones labelled "for off road use only" ? I've been using these in my lows for about 1 1/2 yrs and am very happy with the light output.

Oh yes, one other thing the members sharing their experience with changing bulbs was invaluable especially tying dental floss to the bulb spring clips in case they come off, which happened to me. Other than that changed all eight bulbs in two cars in an about an hour.

Does that mean you don't drive on the street with them?

You would be the very first person to take me seriously this year.
