I had the dealer install a new head light bulb last year. The invoice says they installed a Halogen HB3 65W bulb. My owners manual says headlight bulb is a Halogen Type H4 60W. The parts person at the dealer says the correct bulb is a Halogen H9 65W.
I have another bulb out and will not pay the dealer another $150 to replace it. I will do it. Which bulb.....?
Make the switch to the TricLED LED Headlights, I did both Head and Foglights and with everything on I can see down the road forever!
Do they have better longevity than the halogens?Quote:

You can buy two bulbe at an auto store for the price of one at a dealer and the auto store bulbs are in sealed packaging so you don't run the risk of having a greenhorn parts guy coming out with a halogen bulb in his dirty mitt asking, "Is this what you want?" after he's halved the life of what was once a perfectly good halogen bulb. Since you have to pull off Tupperware on both sides to do a single bulb replace both halogen bulbs at the same time.
