Default Headlight bulbs

I'm looking for a somewhat brighter bulb for the headlights.



Anyone use a Wagner BP1210 H4 before? It's a 80/100 watt bulb. There is also a brighter than stock Wagner Part # 9003BL which is the normal 55/60w bulb.

I've had the silverstars before and they don't seem to last. Got some nighthawks and they were worse than the OEMs.

edit stupid phone didnt send the rest



anywho, if you install a higher wattage bulb you run the risk of melting the harness, so look into an upgraded harness(universal is fine)



i have no advice on your bulb though sorry

I don't want HIDs unless I can do it right. IMHO the OEM Accent headlight is the best incandescent one I have ever had. Maybe just get some OEM bulbs?

I got splitfire H4s in my LC, they were the same wattage as stock. If there was a brightness difference, it was a placebo.







However the light that they emit is a perfectly neutral white. sh*t is nice.

Phillips crystal vision ultra work great for me. I got two years out of a pair before one blew. Then I got some HIDs for $32.

I just got a pair of Phillips Vision Plus but have not put them in yet.



I got ran into by a deer this summer and they replaced the right side headlight with a n Eagle Eye aftermarket headlamp. The Eagle Eye is the biggest POS I have ever seen. Horrible bulb and horrible light pattern. I'm looking for a used right side OEM headlight at the moment.
