Has anyone used the Osram H11 Nightbreaker bulbs from Powerbulbs?
Agreed, for low-beams, the right move at the right price is the DDM Tuning 55W HID dual lamp kit. I got mine for $50 and it's a huge improvement on my R1200RT.If you want really high output, go for the 55 watt HID kit.
Watts are Watts - lots of snakeoil and overpriced lamps.

Granted, his is the only one that I know of and have used that is.Did you even READ the link you posted?
Read the section on Bulb Description and Ratings.
Look at H4 60/55 and then at H4 +50 60/55.
Same watts but 15% more lumens (more light).
Osama Siverstar H4 60/55 are noticeably brighter than standard (or even Sylvania Silverstar) H4 60/55 bulbs.
No snake oil. Don't step in the Ufda. Read the details.
Hey, there are a lot of things that decrease with age, but I'm not ready to be replaced!

65W bulbs are illegal BTW.
I'm surprised to read there's a BMW motorcycle that uses an H11 bulb.
This is a single filament bulb, so if we're talking headlights there will be another bulb for high (or another for low) nearby. Lots of room used up by the H11's big plastic connector, I'd think.
I've got yellow H11s in my SUV foglights and I maybe thought foglight applications were about it for H11s.
Nightbreakers are rated 100% more light IIRC and I've remained cautious regarding them.
My standards are +50% for low beams and +80% for high beams and they work great and have proved reliable. This is Phillips stuff and I think they've now replaced their +80 with +100 so we'll see.
The best thing is to buy from Europe and not from PepBoys. Some sellers of Europe stuff on Amazon, however.

- HID conversions can blind oncoming traffic, which is never a good thing. HID specific headlights are designed not to do this.. the halogen headlight converted to HID will not be optimal for the HID light source.
- The Osram Nightcutter +50 euro bulbs DO put out more light then a standard bulb. They put out more light then the Sylvania/Osram Nightcutter bulb sold in the US. The US version has a bit of blue coating so the color is different (and not actually what you want)
It depends on the reflector and if the HID light source is in the same spot as the halogen it replaces. For me, HID works great on one bike, not so much in the Toyota.
