ILLUMINATING STUFF FROM OSRAM
Jun 8th
Renowned lighting specialist, OSRAM, has a vast range of bulbs to suit every driver, so to make sure they are recommending the right replacement to their customers, it would be wise for workshops and technicians to understand the differences between the various OSRAM offerings.
There’s a common misconception with bulbs being a seasonal product only, however, bulbs can dim at any point during the year and it’s crucial to replace bulbs as soon as possible to ensure optimal lighting during dark nights.
