Thanked 2,408 Times in 1,497 PostsI've been using the Osram Nightbreaker Plus bulbs in the S60 during winter, big improvement over the bulbs that were fitted before. I'd recommend them.

Thanked 2,466 Times in 1,996 PostsNo, that would mean moving. The manual says H9, so thats what i'll get, i think my number plate has my car as a pre-facelift, when i go for 2005> it then comes up with H9. Originally Posted by T5RatherAmusin
