Don't know this particular lamp but providing its the correct wattage it shouldn't cause a problem, most of these high spec bulbs give improved illumination by providing a better focused beam.

I use Osram Night Breakers in my Xantia (S2 so they're H1 type).IrfanIbrahim wrote:Does osram nightbreaker H4 plus are plug and play for xantia s1? If so, will it really enchance night visibility and does it glare other drivers?
They work fine and improved brightness.
They don't glare other drivers. It can occur if the bulb is not properly fitted.
Negative point in them is their shorter life and higher price compared to normal bulbs.
I remember reading somewhere that actually the S1 Xantia headlight shiny background material or the glass is causing the low quality illumination.

S1 and S2 doesn't use the same bulb type? Yeah the chrome part which reflect light is getting dull, trying to coat them with new one and see how it goes.
