Failed headlight bulb, good options?
got a failing headlight bulb…
Can someone give me good options for headlight bulb replacements ? I know they are D3S but other than sylvannia and Phillips, any other reliable brands? I don’t care if they are brighter, oem or slightly whiter (NO BLUE) and I’m happy. Just want them to work.
Links would be great, out of the many things I’ve researched about c7s, I don’t know jack squat about headlight bulbs.

Well, the nose has to come off and the pods have to come out and THEN you can change the bulbs. Don't go any higher than 6000 on the bulb. I run 6000 and it is a good clean white. Higher than 6K and it goes into blue.
