Good day,
I bought OSRAM SYLVANIA - SilverStar Ultra head lamp 9007 bulbs on the 14 of February of this year. Cost me $43.00.
I install them properly. As in do not touch the glass bulb itself or Bla, Bla, Bla.
If you catch my drift. I have replaced so many Halogen in so many car,trucks, you name it, that I lost count. Besides, look at my Mini

One of the damn things burnt out two weeks ago. Not only that but when both were operational, they SUCK Big Time!
Despite what I read in reviews.
I went as far as testing the head lamp connector with my Fluke multi-meter
and there is nothing wrong with the voltage or current being supplied. I checked the functional bulb with a power supply and yea, when you look at the bulb during a bench test it looks impressively bright.
In th KJ at night while driving. On a scale of 1 to 10, I rate them 0.
Went back to the auto parts store with them and asked if the one year warranty OSRAM SYLVANIA provide has to be mailed to them or if it's over the counter Honorable.
No problem, bring 'em back. Full refund for both bulbs.
Now I have installed Hella "For off road use only" 110w-80w bulbs.
I also wired in an additional relay to each bulb (Ala Rallye Car)
And these ampoule's kick ass!
F__kin A!
Not only do they light up the road, but are just as bright ad H.I.D. Cool blue coulour, brighter whiter light!.
So, now I'm thinking (I did this on both my Mini headlights) The bulb guard that sits directly over the bulb to decrease the amount of candle power being aimed down the road (To avoid blinding oncoming motorists). Yank it out, re-aim the headlights yourself and Bingo! More light down the road with minimal oncoming traffic nuisance factor! (cool). You see (no pun intended) motor cycles with conventional headlamps from yester-year, are the same beam pattern in the lens was identical the the automotive variant only without that center bulb guard. That way motor cyclists have more light because they only have one head light.
Is it legal?
According to retired R.C.M.P. brother-in-law. There is nothing in the motor vehicle act stating that it is not permitted. So, I won't git a citation and fine (Which they are so good at dishing out.)
So, that would be a good increase in lighting from the Liberty's stock head lamps. But I would need to take the KJ head lamps out for at least four day's in order to disassemble the light unit-separate the reflector from the len's.
I will probably purchase one from the breakers and do one at a time.
I'm sure that they are not inexpensive used let alone new.
One other question.
Passenger side tail lamp has condensation building up inside.
Any idea why or what causes it?
