My passenger side Osram Nightbreaker bulb just blew after approx 1.5years of use, and as a follow up from this thread Philips or Osram, I'm posting an initial review and comparison of the Ring Xenon Ultima's +120% bulbs that I just bought from Trex's store and changed. This is for the dual filament H4 fitting. Bulbs Have a look at the following image. The Nightbreaker is on the left, the Xenon Ultima on the right As you can see the Xenon Ultima's have taken a design more akin to Philip's Xtreme Visions with a single more intense shade of blue, but in a strip just before the cap vs the more subdued metallic shade of blue on the Nightbreakers which cover the entire bulb leaving a strip untinted where the low beam filament is. Aesthetics (Lights Off) With the Nightbreakers, my headlamp assembly had a uniform steel blue/titanium-esque look. With the Xenon Ultimas, it has more of a mirror finish with blue highlights. I definately prefer the Nightbreakers in this regard. Aesthetics (Lights On) Have a look at this following image, the passenger side is using Xenon Ultima's, the drivers Nightbreakers This is on low beam. Its only slightly noticeable, but when looking head on at the car, the Xenon Ultima's definately have a whiter look. In my haste, I forgot to take a shot with high beams, however the Xenon Ultima's seem to remain the same, but the Nightbreakers have a whiter look. Light output/throw colour wise, I find the Nightbreakers more white even though while looking at the headlight assembly, it seems more yellow. This is even more noticeable when high beams are on. Overall I do prefer how the Nightbreakers look in this regard too. Brightness This is where the Xenon Ultima's come into their own. Regardless of high or low beams, the Xenon Ultima's do look significantly brighter. Have a look at the second image again. The flare is a lot more noticeable on the passenger side. When driving out of the building, even when lit by overcast skies and building lights, I could at least see a shadow of the throw by the Xenon Ultima's. This is something other bulbs I've used haven't been able to do. Thus far I do far prefer the Xenon Ultima's in this regard. One thing that everyone should note is that both bulbs output is more yellow when you first turn them on (like every other incandescent bulb), but get whiter after a few minutes of use. Initial Take Although I will update with another post on the brightness (though I strongly believe the manufacturers claims on light output to be correct) after I drive out and get back home tonight, for those who prefer a more overall aesthetically pleasing look, with increased brightness over stock, the Nightbreakers are it. In brightly lit Singapore they should be more than sufficient, and they have been very good on all my night drives to and from KL. For those who like me who do prefer the additional brightness and/or the whiter looking headlamp assembly as we're on low beams most of the time, you can't go past the Xenon Ultima's. P.S. Just in-case anyone wants to know how the Philips Xtreme Vision bulb looks like in comparison to these two Based on its design and gazillion comparisons between it and the Nightbreakers, I believe it should slot nicely between the the Nightbreakers in the Xenon Ultima's in most respects.

NOV SPECIAL Measure your paint thickness for FREE We will perform a basic paint thickness measurement on your vehicle free on the following days & time at 176 sin ming autocare, #02-12, Sin ming drive 7th & 8th nov - 12pm - 5pm 14th &15th nov - 12pm - 5pm Kindly call us in advance at 6554 5620 so that we can manage the traffic better. Here is an example of a detail paint measurement using one of the forum member's one-month (brand new) toyota estima hybrid. What can we expect from our factory paint system? Is it as thick as what you think it is? What does the reading tell us? 1. The reading provide us vital information of how thick is the original factory paint system is. Knowing the overall thickness of the vehicle's paint system allows one to provide better advise and owner can make better car care decision to prevent clear coat failure. 2. The figure measured (above pic) is in microns. To provide a better understanding, a 80g photocopying paper is 25.4 micron in thickness. Therefore, a reading of 50 micron will have a thickness of two pieces of paper put together. That is not alot of paint to play around. When we look directly at the surface, our eye tells us that the surface is levelled. When we touch the surface, the feeling is levelled. But the paint is far from levelled. Using the data measured, we put into graph form and present in cross-section view. You can see for yourself that the paint thickness is up and down, this differences in thickness causes an effect known as orange peel when one look closely into your surface. Here is a picture that shows a very bad orange peel. More than often, it is not as bad as the picture above on factory paint system.

Cost US$92 to ship from USA, will you try this new product? Ultima Paint Guard Plus, it claimed just wipe on walk away no need to do any buffing. It is true ? Yes it is. My ride is only 1 month old with only 2500km only. It had one layer of Klasse Twin, 1 layer of 476, 2 layers of 845 and 1 layer of FK1000P. Before I apply UPGP I just give my ride a good wash then using the wash solution as clay lub to clay only the roof top & bonnet. After fully dry (it's important must dry dry dry), I just wipe on the UPGP with a MF applicator. You can see the UPGP dry up almost immediately and it already feel so glossy & slick. After setting for overnight, it really glossy and super slick. Can't wait to apply the 2nd layer just after 30 hours. Here is the result:

This car to me, is a classic example of soft honda paint at work. Just about 6 mths old, washed once a week or two, either by the owner or hand wash at petrol kiosk, "protected" by an am**ing PPS after collection, was found to have tons of scratches or wash lines all over the car. check out the following pics: Some before n after pics:
