OSRAM LED Premium Retrofit SV8.5-8 36mm, C5W, interior lights, 6498CW-01B, Cool White, 12V, single blister (1 piece)

I change my car quite regularly, and one of the first things I always do is change the interior bulbs because let's face it, 99% of car manufacturers standard bulbs are crap!Usually I go on Amazon and buy a set of bulbs that seem to undercut the branded bulbs by quite some margin. You know the sort, the cheap stuff usually from China with dozens of nasty looking yellow filaments and no bulb housings on them. Only about half of the pack of 10 you bought actually work and the ones that work are knackered within a year. So I thought you know what, it's time for a change.I purchased 2 of these osram cool white bulbs along with 8 Osram W5W cool white bulbs to give the interior lighting a complete overhaul. Wow! On first impressions I immediately noticed i've bought something that has some actual quality to it. The bulbs are white all the way around with no yellowness in sight.The light is so evenly distributed around the cabin it is quite impressive. It's very bright but not too in your face at all, it's just bright enough without being too over the top, and the colour is exactly what it says on the box. It is white! No funny blue tinge. I am that impressed that I've even changed my number plate bulbs to them. I'd highly recommend this product and will be 100% buying them again for any future cars I may have.

5 time brighter than the conventional bulb so you can now see on the floor of the car to retrieve dropped small items instead of using a torch

These Bulbs are brilliant, superb quality and come with a 5 year guarantee

I've used the 6000k bulbs for the number plate lights and these give a nice modern cleaner white light, although I can imagine some may feel a bit disappointed as, they don't look very distinct like some aftermarket bulbs. Basically it looks a bit more modern but they're not a chavvy blue colour, or real bright, maybe a bit brighter than original bulbs. So if you want a bulb that looks bit more modern but doesn't shout about it they're great. I used a 4300k bulb for the courtesy light, but not sure if it's the size of the bulb or the connector/bulb holder, but sometimes the light doesn't always stay on or may flicker. And if I remove bulb and try putting it back with light switched on, it takes some effort until it does come back on, only thing that helped was to clean bulb edges and metal bulb holder with contact cleaner, but doesn't last, I might try getting some conductive paint/ink and dabbing a bit on ends of bulbs and contact holder, one bulb sometimes flickers on number plate also, will try cleaning that and check that bulb holder isn't bent slightly, but I think the size/dimension is probably slightly different to a normal bulb so you won't always get a perfect contact.

Bright and white. Fits my Mk II Ford Focus front interior light.

Hard to understand why it should be so grossly over priced... Not much brighter than the original festoon lamp, just runs cooler and with less current. Not very impressive at all. I thought I'd pay more for the brand name - but it's still made in China

Replaced interior bulbs and they look a lot cleaner

thanks
