Premstätten, Austria and Munich, Germany (July 15, 2025) – With the NIGHT BREAKER© LED VINTAGE H4, ams OSRAM (SIX: AMS) now offers the perfect product for classic car enthusiasts who value authentic looks and modern lighting technology. This street-legal¹ LED retrofit lamp has been specially developed for classic vehicles. It combines a warm white color temperature of up to 3000 Kelvin with modern LED technology to produce an authentic effect in the style of a traditional lamp.

 

“There are many drivers of classic cars who want to switch to modern LED technology but who do not want to lose the characteristic look of their vehicles. Our NIGHT BREAKER© LED VINTAGE H4 fulfills their wish – it’s stylish, it’s powerful and it’s approved for use on public roads,” says Carsten Setzer, Vice President Automotive at ams OSRAM. 

 

NIGHT BREAKER© LED VINTAGE H4 is up to 330 percent brighter², while the glare seen by other road users is up to 50 percent less than the permissible maximum values². It comes complete with an R2 adapter, making it suitable for both H4 sockets and R2 sockets.

Integrated “Constant Brightness” technology ensures that its light output remains stable even if the battery voltage fluctuates or is low. What's more, the lamp has a service life up to six times longer than that of a conventional halogen lamp, is resistant to vibrations and does not emit UV radiation, which means that the reflectors and lenses of the original headlights are protected against further deterioration.

 

The NIGHT BREAKER© LED VINTAGE H4 from OSRAM Automotive not only preserves aesthetics of classic vehicles but also confers all the benefits of modern lighting technology – for greater visibility, durability and style. This LED retrofit lamp is just what vintage car enthusiasts have been waiting for, but it is also ideal for fans of the classic warm white color temperature.
