9003 HB2 Light Bulb (Pair) - Standard Replacement For High Beam Low Beam Fog Lights
J**R
Perfect replacement for 2009 Kia Borrego-see review for thoughts on replacement process
After 8 years of ownership, the driver's side headlight of my 2009 Kia Borrego finally gave out. Like so many other regular maintenance/consumable items for cars, the replacement bulbs for this are WAY overpriced. The best price I could find in the local stores was $15- and that was for a SINGLE bulb!WARNING to Borrego owners- replacing headlight bulbs on this vehicle is tricky due to limited clearance behind the headlamp enclosures. The shop manual instructs for removal of the entire headlamp assembly, which involves taking off other body portions, like one side of the bumper. Honestly, you don't need to do that. You can remove and replace both sides with a reasonable amount of effort. There are few internal items that should be removed (battery on passenger side, fuse box cover on the driver side) in order to give more room. And you don't need small hands to do this- XL gloves just barely fit me, and I was able to get my fingers in to get the job done.As far as the bulb- it looks good and it fit good. It's only been in 2 months now, too early to comment on longevity. I'll try to update if/when it burns out. The price can't be beat, for sure- if it lasts long enough.If you find yourself in this situation and need some help/advice, let me know- I'd be more than happy to tell you what I can!

High quality, low cost. Can’t go wrong.
Installed in 2004 Trailblazer.Color of light is not bright white and not yellow either it’s right at the end of yellow spectrum so it’s clear and easy on eyes. Brighter and farther throw of light then standard bulbs from leading brands and is just as good or better then their next bulb up as well. I have had in over a week without issue. To be honest for 6.99 for a pair of these bulbs you would be absolutely insane to buy anything else especially when you can buy three sets for the same price your pay for one at the store. For reference my father is a master mechanic and machinist and Ive been soaking up all the knowledge I can from him since I could walk and could easily be a mechanic by trade but choose not to.

Great OEM replacement
I tried the brighter Sylvania bulbs, but never could get more than a month or two. They were a little brighter yes, but not worth changing every few months.These bulbs seem to be a tight brighter than factory OEM...and they've lasted about 6 months. I have a 30 min commute every morning to work in the dark.

Works great as a headlight replacement
I have one of these installed next to a sylvania headlight. There is no discernible difference between the two, except for the price.I waited 1 month to submit this review to make sure that the bulb would not burn out quickly. If the bulb burns out in the next few months, I'll come and update this review.

So far so good.
I went to Walmart and they wanted almost $20 for one bulb. These bulbs were 2 for $10. I installed them in our KIA Optma one at a time. I compared the light from the bulb that was still working (Osram bulb) and I couldn't tell the difference in warmth or output, so I installed the other Voltage bulb and kept the original as an emergency backup. The quality seems close to the OEM bulb. Time will tell, and I'll update this review if need be.

Died after one day
Now I realize this is a discount headlight, but I'd expected more than just a single day.It was an easy install, and I wore gloves so as not to touch the bulb. The short-lived nature of this bulb could have been accelerated by it being shipped in a padded envelope with no additional padding, and the bulb itself was rattling around inside the box, again with nothing to restrain it.Long story short: The bulbs might be great if the shipping was better.

Don't let the price fool you. Great light bulbs
Impressed how good and clean light I could get from this inexpensive headlight bulbs. They are so clean that I have it in my 2012 Kia Soul and sometimes I get people move behind, and chased my with the high beams because they think. That I was driving with my high beams....I only have it for a month and it happened 3 times.And can Not tell longevity because is only been a month.

Works fine, so far
Been installed for a few weeks, to replace the original low beams in a 2011 Kia Forte that burned out. Works fine, so far. They seem to be the same brightness as the originals. Will update this if I have any issues.
