This whole thread was so much fun to read.
Also, I just ordered some depo headlight assemblies, and I can't wait 😜
I sent osram an email inquiring about the new nightbreaker led's, as there isn't a way to just straight up buy em off their website 🙄
Cool stuff - yeah, the Nightbreaker "Street-Legal" LEDs are not available stateside officially as they are for ECE lights rather than DOT and
technically aren't street legal in the US, not like that stops anyone from selling them, but Osram is a reputable company and they likely won't want to step on any toes from a regulatory standpoint, if that makes sense.
I am preparing to pick up a set of the DEPO lights locally - I have a passenger's side of the Euro Hella lights sitting in a closet, but have never been able to find a matching other side, so I'm just buying a pair of the DEPOs. I believe the bulb you want for these is the 64210DWNB-G2, and adapter 64210DA02. I have been able to find both on Amazon and eBay, for what that's worth.
Again, as far as I am concerned, the regulating bodies of the European Union probably know their stuff and if they are willing to approve those bulbs for use in the projector headlights that this car comes with on that side of the pond, I defer to them. I am still a proponent of good halogens in the factory reflectors, and good halogens are probably as good as (or better than) the LEDs, but, if you want LEDs, that's how you should do it.
