Osram Silverstar 2.0

Osram silverstar 2
Overall Auto Express rating

4.0

It was tight at the top of the lower-powered class, with Osram having to settle for third with its Silverstar 2.0. It promises twice the lifetime of its predecessor, Silverstar, and 60 per cent more light than standard lamps. Build quality is good, and there is a well defined beam. Only a hotspot a touch too close to the car denied it the win.
