Headlight Bulb Replacement - Sylvania vs Phillips

[00Sebby]

New lights AND a nail removed..now that's a productive day! lol

Yeah, I figured no one was interested in the 3 bathroom faucets I upgraded.

I got the Philips H11 ones that Daniel Stern's recommended and one already burned out after less than a year.

You ought to give the H9s a try. They're 65W compared to H11 55W and about 50% more lumens. I see the comments about shorter life, but 3 years... And they're cheap.

I went with 5200k philips HID kit from zenon depot. Don't get me wrong it's fantastic light output and I haven't got flashed yet (I aimed them properly). But all said and done I really wished I saved my money and went with the H9 conversion. The HID's are fantastic but really not necessary.

I'm going to buy some new dust caps (because I had to modify mine) and some H9's. Going to keep it all in the glove box for when something expensive eventually goes out. Convert back on the spot and cut my losses.

I got 3-1/2 years out of my Phillips X-treme vision H11s. I had one burn out last week on my way to California and the other on my way back. I’m replacing with standard Philips.
