driving lights bulb

Hi All,

Stock driving lights appears to be a bit dim, making it difficult to see the road at times. I'm looking for brightest as possible. Anyone know which bulb type i need to get? And also is it 2 or 4 bulbs total to match?


thanks in advance!

I havent looked but I think these are D1S bulbs. I would search for D1S with higher illumination. Like sylvania silverstar, or ask a lighting store like ijdmtoy.com or superbrightled or substitute for a new led bulb

the newest leds have output in the same spot as a hid bulb and use the mb lights reflector housing same as a hid bulb. some leds emit from improper spots and dont correspond to oem lights housing, making them worse than a hid bulb

It might be the same focal point spot, but LEDs doesn't have even 360 light distribution for the housing This results in uneven lighting and dark spots. 3D diodes come closer, but those don't have the lumen output to match yet.
