Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

You do need to be careful what you put into your lighting housing. Some get hotter than factory bulbs and can mess up your housing. Silverstars are the best according to others here on this list, but they last about a year with frequent use because they burn more blue and the element doesn't last as long. Spend the money for Silverstars if you do it. Sylvania's product is worth the money, and your car is worth spending a little more on to get safe, brighter, more-blue bulbs. Then start saving for litronics. I did the true xenon upgrade and it's absolutely wonderful. Others will argue with me, but I love my litronics.... and they make the car look new too.
