Default Which brand of headlight bulb to change with

Anyone who has changed their low beam bulbs please tell me which brand you changed to. Are the brighter bulbs harmful to the lens at all (ie. hotter)?

Default Light bulbs

moving to the Lighting Forum...many have made lighting mods on other models, with and without complications.

Cool

Just for anyone without ESP, his profile states he has a 2003 GX470. Just thought I'd use my psychic abilities before anyone asked

there are reports of higher wattage bulbs burning the wiring harnesses. Never tried them but Sylvania Silverstars seem to be widely respected in this forum.

What you should probably be more concerned about is the wiring harness and its capability of inducing wattage from the bulbs. As long as the wattage ratings of the bulbs meet the stock requirements, you should have no worries about lighting problems in the long run.

I'm having a hard time finding H-11 model bulbs for replacement, nobody seems to make this type for the low beam. Any help locating them would be appreciated.
