D1S Bulb: Osram Cool Blue Intense Next-Gen or Night Breaker Laser?

65lim · 11-30-2023, 08:25 PM

Hi guys, as written on the title, i’m looking for an opinion with these 2 bulbs. I know that the color of CBI is white/blueish, but does the NBL only have 4200k color temp? From my research i found that NBL is brighter than CBI Next Gen, but if i want to get white/blueish color i should go with CBI Next Gen (although its slightly less bright compared to NBL). Is this accurate? Maybe someone with experiences about this can help me.

Thanks guys!

I personally don't like the CBI since it doesn't actually match the temperature of the angel eyes. It's more of a sapphire blue, while the halo's are a true white. The Night Breakers are far closer.

Night Breaker, as far as I know, is the generic version of BMW's power bulbs.
