Osram Hyper bulb vs Philips Vision Plus

[HTN-E430]

I bought H7 Osram Hyper 65W/2100 Lumens for '00 E430 From Daniel Stern. Comparing this new bl\ulb with standard H7 and Philips Vision Plus by way of 1 bulb in one headlight, the other bulb in the other headlight, turn on headlight on a dark street to see which one give more light on the road.

Philips VP vs Standard: Philips VP is about 25%-30% brighter than standard bulb and it is whiter too.

Osram Hyper vs Philips VP: Osram is about 15%-20% brighter than Philips but not whiter.

Osram Hyper vs Standard: Osram is about 40%-50% brighter than standard bulb, it also whiter.

Conclusion: Osram Hyper H7 is generating a lot more light than standard H7, but it also consumes about 20% more power and it may not last as long, and it costs about 3 times the standard one. The most bang for the money is Philips Vision Plus or Osram Silver Star. Also, please note that Osram Hyper is available only in H7, not H4.
