HellaH71070387 Optilux XB Series HB5 9007 Xenon White Halogen Bulbs, 12V, 100/80W, 2 Pack

Years ago I bought another brand that made a long life bulb. They no longer make that bulb. I guess they decided that shorter lasting bulbs are more profitable. You have a 97% chance this bulb will last you 1200 hours. I tested the light output of this bulb. This bulb is still significantly brighter than the competitor's basic bulb that will last about 1/3 as long... And yes, I used light a meter to confirm my findings. The competitors' expensive bulbs that cost twice as much or more that have less than 200 hour life expectancy is actually brighter than this bulb but it's so insignificant most people would not notice. But for that slight extra performance you would be spending so much more not just for the initial price, but for all the replacements you would also have to buy over time. This is the bulb you want if you do lots of nighttime driving particularly if you own a car that makes changing bulbs a hard involved process.

Brightness seems average, price is right.

Clearly whiter & brighter than OEM Sylvania bulbs. Just aim them down a hair & they don't cause oncoming traffic to flash me.

Easily replaced my headlights on my '04 LeSabre with these. They seem pretty good and I am happy with the low cost and nice amount of brightness.

They work pretty good

So here's the deal....For those of you who want HID light output, but don't have an HID equipped vehicle - STOP buying $50 bulbs, i.e. Silverstar's, PIAA's, etc. I had a nice long chat with a master mechanic at the Honda dealership here in Portland and we discussed light output on vehicles. He was very clear that the only way to increase the amount of light output from your car's stock headlights is to increase the bulb wattage.Think about it this way...in your lamp at home, if you have a 60 watt bulb in it and you replace it with a different brands 60 watt bulb, are you really expecting it to be any brighter?? Doesn't make much sense does it. Now, if you were to purchase a 100 watt bulb to replace your 60 watt bulb at home, you would expect a dramatic difference in light output correct? Exactly.This was the way he explained it to me. He also told me that although the stock bulbs do give off that ugly "yellow" hue to the color of the light output, it is technically better than the "blued" light that comes from Silverstar Ultra's. The blue filters out the yellow spectrum light which makes that nice white we all like...but here's the problem; IT FILTERS OUT THE YELLOW LIGHT. Meaning that it takes away a % of the available light, causing there to be less useable light put on to the road. So while the white is preferred, you lose actual light output....no matter what the box says.So I purchased these lights. They are 85 watts and blue...this means that while the blue may filter out some to the useable light, the wattage will more than compensate for the loss of "yellow" light.End result, my headlights (Hi's and Low's) are fantastically bright now. I will never go back to a stock wattage again.And for those of you wondering if there are any negatives to increasing bulb wattage; yes, there can be in certain vehicles. The mechanic at Honda told me that he knows for a fact that HONDA, ACURA, INFINITI, MAZDA and LEXUS have beefier wiring units that can easily handle the increase in wattage. Much of this is due to the fact that imports are highly modified with aftermarket lighting and the manufacturers take this into account when wiring the vehicles. On the other hand, He said that he has seen some fuse issues with Chevy and Ford vehicles. If you own one of these, you will need to purchase a better harness that can handle the increased wattage.I hope this helps...I searched long and hard and finally found the bulb that outperforms the "best." It looks great and puts lots of light on the road.Good Luck!

I was expecting lots of bright light in front on my rig and people flashing their high beams at me because these are 80W! Illegally bright headlamps. Nope. Unless there is something nearby in front of the vehicle, or tall grass, trees, or a guardrail on the side of the road, I can barely see the light unless it is pitch black night. It appears that there is an adequate amount of light perhaps, but the color is such that it is just hard to tell that they are on if there is any other light around. In city driving, I can't tell they are on from inside the cab. When I switch to high beams, I can see the yellow light clearly. These give a light that is about the same color as the road so it's real hard to tell.

Per se , if it’s fog it’s gotta be yellow. Thus I have made sure that my fog lights are yellow.I like them a lot when driving at night when it rains or snows. It enhances the visibility.

Exact replacement for 2011 Ford Ranger, brighter than the originals

Excelente

Delivery was earlier than expected; great price for standard bulb

I recommend these

Le quedaron super bien a mi VW Gol 2009, en lo personal el color amarillo me gusta mucho , llegaron bien y en su empaque sellado , esperemos duren como los focos originales que quite y guarde , porque prácticamente se ven nuevos.
