The OSRAM Cool Blue Boost Xenarc
OSRAM has once again broken the rules for Xenon bulbs. With most modern cars coming out with an "ice white" look to the headlights, it can make Xenon headlights look older. With the cool blue boost bulbs you get the "look", with OEM bulb quality! There isn't a hint of yellow in the light these bulbs give
7000K?
These may say 7000K on the packaging, but don't worry they aren't blue. Giving out that "ice white" LED style & colour is what these bulbs are all about.
LED Style Light Without Compromise
Everyone wants to keep up with the latest trends! With most brand new cars being equiped with LED headlights it can make the traditional xenon headlights look outdated. Before these bulbs hit the market your only option for an "ice white" light was to buy cheap unbranded "6000k" bulbs, which have a poorer beam pattern and less light output. With the Cool Blue Boost there's no compromises, just a perfect light.
Approved Partner
OSRAM bulbs are some of the most commonly faked bulbs on the market and we believe the Cool Blue Boost Xenarc will be a popular target for the fakers. As an approved partner you can guarantee the bulbs you are getting from ABD are the real deal.
Not EU Approved
Due to their light colour, the EU hasn't approved the Cool Blue Boost for road use. But don't let that put you off! They have a perfect beam pattern and light output. There's no bother to other road users or MOT's with the Cool Blue Boost either, it's just the EU that doesn't like them...
Osram Quality
Osram has been designing lights since 1906. Constantly innovating and changing the lighting marketing. In the 1950's Osram had succeeded in reaching the top of the industrial sector in light as a leader in technology. Since 1954 they have been based in Munich where they spent the following decades as the leading force in driving the development of countless innovative lighting technologies forward. When it comes to automotive lighting most cars roll out of the factory with Osram bulbs installed. With all this history and an OEM status you know you're getting a good quality product.

Had this on my car since October and one just decided to stop working. Don’t know for how long the warranty was for, but for the price I expected them to last at least 5 years like the original ones.
Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Not as white as I expected and one just got burnt after about 2 years and a half

Showed stock online - very quick transaction and fast despatch. Good communication throughout. Only draw back was the lack of adequate packing for such delicate bulbs that cost £145. The jiffy bag that the bulbs came in was ripped then taped up at the sorting hub and the plastic casing the bulbs were cracked and split. Fortunately the bulbs did survive on this occasion.
Advantages: In stock good communication with sales team.
Disadvantages: Lack of packing to save costs I guess.
Could do better!
Bulbs look great, not fully burnt in yet but would recommend.

These are the closest you can get to the bright white lights of LED headlights I sadly ordered a DS1 by mistake and broke the box opening so could not get a refund sadly so these lights cost me early £300 so take care when you order you pick the correct bulb for your car and don’t break them opening the tricky plastic box
Advantages: Brighter
Disadvantages: Lost £130 as soon t refund if box opened

These are bright bulbs but not 7000k. When you switch them on they start off with a blue tint and as they warm up they turn pure white once fully warmed up they turn yellow.
They not 7000k more like 5000k max kelvin color. They have a yellow tint like the standard osram but they are brighter. I don’t think the extra brightness is worth the extra ££. I’m disappointed because I was looking for a neutral white and the people that reviewed these Online must be color blind because they all stated that these are pure white with no yellow. For the price they are not worth it.
Advantages: Brighter than standard factory fitted.
Disadvantages: Still give off that yellow light.

At first: thank you for the fast delivery (to germany)!
I bought this bulbs for a LR Disco Sport which comes with standard Osram Xenarc bulbs. Their colour (Osram Xenarc) is a bit on the yellow side and don't fit to the LED fog lights of the car. The new Osram CBB are indeed whiter but a slightly yellow colour is still visible. All in all good impression though. Only immediately after starting they look blueish, but apart from this do not expect blueish light. I think it's more a pure white light with estimated 5500-5800K. Not as white as LED.
I hoped to get more brightness from the CBB but they are not brighter than the standard bulbs. Even in rain the standard bulbs with yellow colour are much better than the cooler CBB. The CBB's are more stylish but that's only cosmetics. Concerning the result (brightness) the price is too high. If you want a stylisher look than buy theese. The next time i'll try Philips White Vision Gen.2 or Xtreme Vision.
note:
The CBB are still new in my car and i used them only for about 2 hours. Perhaps there is better performance after burning in (what i have read so far about xenon bulbs "burn in" )?
Advantages: - pure white colour
- good looking
Disadvantages: - expensive
- not brighter as standard bulbs
- not good for wet roads
