I've delved into the archives to find out about the above, and have found that they are generally highly rated - except for the bulb life issue. Have Cibie/SS sorted this yet? How big an issue is it in real terms? I'll be buying a pair in the next few weeks.

Save up for a "few" more weeks and get the HID's. After all, who needs driving lights on light nights..........:

HID's are megabucks, though. Don't think I can justify paying that much for lights.

Whooo hooo......do a comparison first, then say that:

Try www.hella.co.uk they have a virtual light tunnel on there where you can compare ALL their lights, and the standard 1000ff is very close to an Oscar.

Had them on my old MY00, new bulbs every couple of weeks. Just before I traded it in I downgraded to 100W bulbs, as I don't have the car any more, not sure if the plan worked!

Had them on my car since new 2 1/2 years

One bulb gone

Seems pretty good to me

 

Had them on mine for 2 years plus. One bulb after a couple of weeks, fluke, otherwise fine.

I had HID headlights (dipped beam not driving lights) on my current car and the 130W Oscars are better by a significant margin.

Not surprised your Oscars atre better than HID dips:

Put them against some HID DRIVING LIGHTS though, and as the Frenchman who demonstrated to me the first set of Cibie Super Oscars I'd seen, said: "C'est la nuit pour vous!!"

I had Lucas "Flamethrower" spotlights with 48W BPF bulbs, his were Super Oscar Halogen, 55W.

An HID used as main beam is awesome as it produces a halogen equivalent of 300W.
