They are on the way. Will do A/B comparison as soon as I receive them. I watched quite a bit of reviews on YouTube and they seem promising.

Installed the Osram Night Breaker Laser Xenarc headlights. It's only slightly brighter than the OEM bulb, which is Osram Xenarc in my X5. Install was extremely straight forward so not going to do a DIY write up.

Below is the A/B comparison. The left side is the new Night Breaker Laser bulb and the right side is OEM bulb. It may be hard to see from the wall but they are brighter than OEM when I drove around the neighborhood. The color temp is almost the same as OEM bulb so if you want whiter/bluer color, this is not for you.

The photos on the thread look different than on my phone. I used iPhone to take the photos. But left side looks brighter than the right side. Also, the angle of the driver side (left) points lower than the passenger side (right) so it gives you an illusion the right side is brighter than the left.

Yeah the pics must not do it any justice as the right looks way brighter. In fact, the right looks like high beams compared to the left.
