HELLA H71071052 Optilux XB Series H13 9008 Xenon White Halogen Bulbs, 12V, 100/80W 2 Pack

After the disappointment of trying LEDs, I reverted back to a standard halogen bulb. Installation was easy and the bulbs put off a bright white light, much better than the original bulbs that had dimmed over the years. Gave 4 stars for brightness only because they are not as bright as LEDs. I highly recommend these if you don't want to hassle with making LEDs work or having issues with LEDs.

I purchased these less than 2 years ago, the 1st one burned out within 6 months, the other 1 just went out (18 months) they were bright, but most certainly not worth the money. Disappointing considering they're Hella. Extremely overpriced for such low quality. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ! Buy a high output LED and canbus adapter if you have to

Nice stark white light for the headlights of my truck.

Got mine in May of 2010, one lasted til Nov of 2012, Other one is still going... I don't think 2 1/2 years is horrible... saw other reviews on here about them only lasting 4-6 months, maybe I got lucky. But the one that burned out did burst instead of just burning out.

Installation took about 20 minutes not too difficult will buy again

I ordered a set of these bulbs for a 2010 MINI Cooper Convertible. (The MINI OEM halogen lamps are horrible in both low and high beam, which is a design issue. Single bulb High/Low lighting systems never seem to work as well as dedicated High and Low systems do. My 2007 MINI with standard halogen lighting was far superior to the 2010.) These bulbs made a definite improvement, especially in the Low beam setting. One would think that increasing the wattage from 60 to 100 on the High Beam would effect a significant improvement, but that was not the case. Better High Beams than the standard bulb, but not a dramatic improvement. Color is a shade into the blue (at the cost of lower overall illumination). High operating temperatures caused minor discoloration on the headlamp reflector above the bulb itself, but did not appear to affect performance. I strongly recommend an aftermarket ceramic wiring harness to cope with the higher operating temperatures. The first bulb failed after 10,000 miles (roughly 400 hours of use as full-time DRLs.) This seems reasonable for a brighter light, and though more expensive to operate than a standard bulb, worth it if it helps avoid a deer strike even once. I am considering either adding auxiliary driving lamps, or moving up to an LED headlamp.

These are quite a bit brighter than stock.

Terrible product and terrible information. It is not even Hella, what I received was a no name bulb with generic packaging. I used them with ceramic plugs to prevent melting, but the thing started coming on and off after 3 weeks. When I checked it out I saw that the plastic plug on it was broken off. I took the broken piece and attached it directly so it kept working. After a week, I lost the low beam on the other one. I had enough and threw them in the trash.

These are reasonably bright bulbs that match my LED high beam. Work great and importantly they keep the lenses free from ice, which LED’s don’t.

En la descripción del producto dice “Extreme White”, la luz es amarilla, adjunto foto. Los faros superiores son luz blanca, los focos comprados son luz amarilla.

Bright but don’t last long only 6 months

i have not had time to install them yet but they appear to be what I wanted and ordered. Thank you

They never lasted very long at all. The first one went after just a month or two.figured it was a bad bulb. Bought another identical set locally and I've only got one headlight again
