If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

If you want to use it on the road, fit Osram Nightbreakers in place of the standard bulbs.They should be a bit brighter.
They are whiter, so the filaments are hotter, but to quote the late Joe Turkel in Bladerunner "The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long"
Offroad you can just fit a light bar or an array of driving lamps.
There are various non road legal LED conversions, but I'd advise against fitting them.
Don't fit non-road legal "Rally" type bulbs either, they will actually be dimmer as the hair thin wiring can't provide full voltage at their rated current.

Apparently Osram own ring, so the Osram and Ring bulbs are very similar.
Everybody and his dog makes "200%" bulbs.
Here's a review www.autoexpress.co.uk/exclusive/76760/be...headlight-bulbs-2024
I'm old enough to remember when Ring were the cheapest bulbs you could get, and had the lifespan of a mayfly, now they are a quality brand, like Regatta clothes, which will forever be associated with the cheapest stuff you could buy to me!
