Mits_jc 5th Gear September 7, 2011 Share September 7, 2011 My Philips lasted longer than Osram, Osram blew in 9 months. Philips lasted till now, legit bulbs both installed in the same manner, i.e. without touching the bulb surface with bare hands. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
