Default Osram Diadem bulb review

This is the NEW version of the Osram Diadem which they now call "chrome." The previous version had a bluish tint which I disliked greatly. As you can see, they illuminate VERY brightly, even brighter than a stock bulb I think, so there is no safety issue of a muted indicator light now. These are ECE compliant certified for use all over Europe. I believe this is the first anti-egg yolk bulbs to have this, and is accepted as a factory replacement due to its bright illumination. I highly recommend them to anyone who is resistant to an LED retrofit like me for a 997.1 but want to clean up the look a bit. Front and rear indicators and sidemarkers are available. It looks especially good on GT Silver, almost giving the car a monochromatic appearance.

Thanks for sharing. Where did you purchase them from and do you have any of the other bulb types for other lights on the car?
