Default Headlight Low Beam Replacement

Hey everyone!

Just had one of my low beams crap out and was just wondering what everyone else is running. Not really trying to go with OEM because the price is ridiculous haha

Thanks!

You could use Morimoto bulbs. They are at a fraction of the cost. Honestly they are not going to last as long but are a good alternative. It is a pain to change these bulbs. In my opinion I would pay more for quality bulbs that will last longer, OSRAM or Philips, but also understand the complaint on price. If you do buy Philips or Osram be sure you are getting genuine bulbs. There are a lot of fakes and there are lots of resources that help determine what a fake is. Honestly if the price seems too good to be true, then they are probably fake. Good luck!

I had one burned then I got the 6k from diode dynamic, replaced both front/rear signal lights to LED as well and couldn't be happier. They are all 3yrs warrantied and a great price. make sure you replace both otherwise the color temp would be different.

I was actually looking at those too. They're a vendor on the MR2 forum and was going to go through them but wanted to reach out to see if anyone had experience with any other brands.

Thanks!
