Yeah, that bulb would work...but you can do so much better! You might want to consider switching to HID's...it's one of the best upgrades and you can diy. It's amazing how much better the HID's are compared to any halogen. Suggest getting a canbus hid like this one...

you won't regret it. But if you're ok with the stock halogens, then that is the cheapest fix.

Thanks! I was thinking about HID upgrade but maybe next time. Thanks again.. Going to visit autozone innthe morning.

The high-beams also use an H7 bulb....so you could swap one of those in, just to get you by, until your new HID kit comes in lol...

Which one you got? Should i go 5000 or 6000?

35W is standard light output. I like 4500K but 4300K would work as well.

Bought regular one just to get rid of the malfunction message. During installation wire insulations completely fell into pieces they were dry. Ended up buying electrical tape to insulate wires. Then when i finished and turned low beam to check the light and i heard some pop and a bit of smoke coming from the light assembly. My first thought was "i messed up" what do I do? I mean there's not much i can do. The light still works.. Everything else still works.. No fire! If there's going to be a shortage fuse should go out, right? Going to use fog and parking lights for now.

Get a new bulb connector and cut the wires back to where there is good insulation.


Put in a new fuse and drive happy.

This. Don't cheap out on something that could cause a fire.

Get Phillips Diamond Vision for super bright white lights that are halogens. +1 on boardboy and njay too

i suspect that tape will eventually melt and burn. I'll go to the mechanic... they said they can put high temperature insulation material over the area.

All depends how much you want to spend.


A new pigtail is plenty high-temp, and you make your connections a few inches back. (For a few $$ a side)


Or you go to the mechanic and pay.

What's a pigtail?
