Headlight bulb choice

Good morning all. Years ago when I first got my C5 it had T84 Euro headlight with the harness. The harnesses went bad and I replaces the bulbs with regular three prong H4's (9003). Has anyone used any led's in their T84's and if so how did they work and what bulb did you use? Thanks

Mostplus led bulbs are dependable and excellent improvement offer stock bulbs. I'd recommend to anyone.

Stick with the proper halogen bulbs. There are no LED or HID bulbs that can properly mimic a halogen bulb. Only the Philips H4 LED gets close.

The MOSTPLUS LEDs are $34 shipped on ebay and work very well. 9006 is the bulb number.

MostPlus have excellent LED's...make sure you get the latest version of them as in 2017's. The early versions were not as good as the 2017's.
They had cooling ribbons, cooling fans, large starters/ballast and only had 180 degrees of light.
