· Improved road lighting thanks to longer and larger cones of light

· Whiter light to ensure more relaxed driving

In comparison to standard halogen bulbs, the new Plus 90 halogen bulb from Bosch provides up to 90% more light output, thereby making it the most light-intensive and powerful halogen bulb currently available in the Bosch range. The Plus 90 headlight bulbs provide longer and larger cones of light, illuminating the road much more effectively and thereby ensuring that drivers are safer on the road when travelling at night or in adverse weather conditions. Drivers can detect hazards, obstacles or road signs much quicker. The Plus 90 bulbs radiate much whiter light than standard halogen bulbs. The light is similar to daylight, making it much easier on drivers and thereby ensuring they can drive at night without tiring. The new bulb series is available in bulb types H1, H4 and H7 – all suitable for the majority of vehicles.

Light Bulb with Xenon Gas Filling and Optimized Filament
The new Plus 90 bulbs provide a considerably higher light output combined with white light, produced by a specially designed light bulb, which is filled with xenon gas, has an optimized filament design and partial blue coating. The H4 and H7 types are also fitted with a silver cap, thereby producing a particularly elegant look, especially in clear-glass headlights. The Silver cap and blue coating also ensure that the headlight reflector shimmers blue when the lights are not turned on.
