There are a few members replacing halogen low beam with Osram Nightbreaker H11.

Which model is preferred (a) Laser or (b) Silver and what are the life that you have experienced?

First, welcome to the forum

I had a young mechanic I know install Nightbreakers in my first Qashqai.
I don’t recall which type but it was in 2017, so they may be different now anyway.
I kept the car for slightly less than three years and the Nightbreakers were still working perfectly.

Welcome to the forum. It's been quite a few years since I've had Nightbreakers - last two cars have been full LED. I don't recall different "flavours" back then but they seemed fine for longevity.

In fact checking I bought Nightbreaker Plus in both 2010 and 2014 - but that might not have been for the same car.
