I was a bit curious about the light's, so i went and bought just to try them out...

I think the biggest gain was on the light on the sides... other than that, it's just a white light instead of the "normal" yellow one's...

Probably upgrading to the OSRAM Night Breaker Plus sometime in the future...

Hi can highly recommend the Osram night breakers, mine are the newer unlimited ones & for once I have headlight not candle power lamps lol I'm shocked at how clean & rust free your suspension parts are off your old truck mine would have looked like that for the first 3 years before the rust set in:(

And the Azores Island's are terrible because of the high humidity and the sea brease with alot of salt... i was very lucky when i bought the first Terrano, it was a garage car and very well maintained also.

About the bulbs, i can clearly see a diference from the original ones to these, but the main issue is the heat they might produce and i'm a little afraid they some how damage the rubber seals and other stuff on the headlight.

Everyone i know recomends those Osram, and as soon as i see a bit of problem with the ones i have now, they are gone and i'll get the Osram! I'll be checking on a regular basis the headlights for any change because of the bulbs in the meantime.

You shouldn't have any problems with those bulbs as the output wattage is the same as the factory bulbs & people I know who have tried 100w bulbs in haven't had any problems. I got some blue tinted bulbs like yours & also saw a slight improvement but nothing compared to the night breakers.

Well, nothing much to say right now...

The only thing i did to the Terrano was fixing the idle problem i had.

I'm guessing the PO cut back on the fuel injected and did not fix the idle, the turbo was also with only 0.6bars, so i gave it a bit more fuel and all is nice now.


The idle went from 450rpms (factory is between 600/750rpms!) to 800rpm (gotta correct the idle a bit) the turbo is around 0.7bars and the car is great!!!!


Not one bit of smoke, it's alot better when i press the accelerator. I have to pay attention to the temperature gauge, but so far, nothing wrong with the readings!


Maybe i'll buy the fabric to do the headliner next weekend also!
