fedaykin Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Hmm weird, link works fine for me (firefox). Anyway, this should work: http://www.philips.co.uk/c-m-li/car-lights/halogen-racingvision.html Might not be available in US officially, but powerbulbs should be able to send it out. Powerbulbs do "free shipping", I've used them a few times (they send stuff very quickly as well). They're based in UK though, probably why changing currency is a bit extra (to cover shipping, international transactions, etc.). E.g. 28.99 GBP = 47.8779 AUD but switching on their website takes me to $62 AUD. Still cheaper than sourcing locally.

stanjk3 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 https://www.powerbulbs.com/us/blog/2016/09/difference-between-philips-racingvision-and-philips-x-treme-vision-130 Don't think RacingVision bulbs are available in the US. I wouldn't buy them, lifespan is only rated at 200 hours vs 450 hours for the Xtreme Vision. Candlepower also offers free shipping on orders $35+, use coupon code USA.

grovlet Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 FYI - The new Osram Laser +130% are very close to the older Osram 64217 Offroads in light output..... I just swapped the Lasers in for the older Offroads and not really much difference.... I also have the Philips XV 130% in my S4 - they are nice and bright too - but hard to directly compare as the S4 is HID..... But I assume they would be another good option as mentioned:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanjk3 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 My other Osram Rallye bulb burned out. Candlepower is sold out of them as they have been discontinued. Now they sell Vosla H7 +100 Superbrite bulbs, which they say are about the same specs. Has anyone tried them yet? http://store.candlepower.com/osraulhiouh7.html Friends don't let friends drink cheap beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanjk3 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I've had the Vosla H7 +100 bulbs in for around a month. While they are brighter than an OEM equivalent bulb, IMO they aren't as good as Osram Rallye bulbs were. Even polished my headlights to make sure that wasn't the problem. With Rallye bulbs, I rarely needed to use my high beams even on unlit/poorly lit back roads. Can't say the same for Vostro +100 bulbs. They work good enough but I don't think I'll be buying them again. Too early to tell how long they'll last. Friends don't let friends drink cheap beer.

fedaykin Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Well that's disappointing to hear. Hopefully someone can start making H7 Rallye clones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeAldea Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Has anyone considered switching to an LED replacement? They have been making amazing progress with LED replacements in the last couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I read the Voslas are nowhere as good as the departed Rallye and overall a case of snake oil advertising. Apparently Philips Xtreme Vision are currently the best alternative. Just bought them from Tirerack and they are pretty good. http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?433667-Osram-Rallye-65W-H7-is-discontinued-Is-there-another-like-it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanjk3 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 ^bump Over 1 year since the last post in this thread, any updates? The Vosla bulbs I put in last spring are still working but getting dim. Thinking of trying Osram Night breaker Unlimited. https://www.amazon.com/OSRAM-Night-Breaker-Unlimited-Pair/dp/B01I5IA6JI/ref=pd_rhf_dp_s_vtp_ses_clicks_0_4?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01I5IA6JI&pd_rd_r=WXZQZPNF0BWTNRX0RSAX&pd_rd_w=AzVOU&pd_rd_wg=w75n2&pf_rd_i=desktop-rhf&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=05d75987-58ed-4d36-bbfa-515cd87e4ee3&pf_rd_r=WXZQZPNF0BWTNRX0RSAX&pf_rd_s=desktop-rhf&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=WXZQZPNF0BWTNRX0RSAX Friends don't let friends drink cheap beer.

outahere Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Last post was in August, no updates since. I'm assuming he hasn't found a manufacturer yet. I think he has a manufacturer lined up. From the thread I linked: I've been asking (OK, pestering) Stern about those bulbs every so often since he first mentioned them. Last report I had was that he's waiting for the Germans to go ahead and make them for him. Sounds like they're low priority for the maker because of small volume, so it won't happen until they have downtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanjk3 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I think he has a manufacturer lined up. From the thread I linked: Emailed Stern a couple days ago, same story. Still waiting for the manufacturer to have time to produce them. He recommended Philips H7 X-tremeVision. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RZKIZ0U/?tag=2402507-20 Was checking out Bulbs Facts http://bulbfacts.com/halogen-bulbs/chart/projectors.html The brightest halogen bulbs according to their tests is the Osram Night Breaker Unlimited. http://bulbfacts.com/halogen-bulbs/reviews/osram-night-breaker-unlimited-vs-oem.html https://www.amazon.com/OSRAM-Night-Breaker-Unlimited-Pair/dp/B01I5IA6JI/ref=sr_1_2?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1544063332&sr=1-2&keywords=OSRAM+Night+Breaker+Unlimited+-Laser#customerReviews Think I'll try the Night Breaker Unlimited, only $26.

outahere Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 The latest from Stern about 65W 2100 lumen H7 bulbs: 65W Osram Ultra High Output (2100 lumen, H9 burner on H7 base, race and special-purpose use): Osram discontinued this bulb several years ago , and all stocks have been exhausted—there are some poor-quality counterfeits flushing around, but those don't count. Update, May 13 2019: After a great deal of work, I have secured new availability of first-quality, German-made 65w - 2100 lumen H7 bulbs. They are presently being manufactured and I expect to have them on shelf in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
