Haha, true! But don’t we all want to be “the brightest” on the road? Seriously though, balancing cost and performance is key!
I’ve had great luck with Philips 9007 bulbs. They were super easy to install on my Honda Civic, which is usually a pain when changing bulbs!
I put those in my truck as well, and they fit perfectly! Just make sure to adjust the aim after installation.
I found the Sylvania SilverStar bulbs to be bright, but installation was a bit tricky on my Toyota Corolla. The access is limited, so some patience is required.
That’s interesting! I installed those on a Jeep Grand Cherokee with no issues. Definitely varies by model!
I’ve had a nightmare with some off-brand 9007 bulbs. The installation was fine, but they burned out in weeks! Stick with trusted brands, everyone.

Good to know! I was tempted to try a cheap set. Maybe I’ll stick to more well-known names.

I’m curious, does anyone know if 9007 bulbs are compatible with every vehicle model? I heard they might not work with some imports.
I found that they generally fit most vehicles, but always check the specifics! Some models might have unique wiring or housing that requires adjustments.
For a fun tip, if you’re struggling to get into tight spaces, using a magnetic pickup tool can help retrieve dropped screws when installing bulbs! Just a little trick I learned.

Haha, that’s clever! I couldn’t tell you how many screws I’ve lost in my engine bay. Definitely gives me a chuckle thinking back!
