    Hella Optilux XY

    If you're going to use these in a fog lamp, then these might work for you (they're to yellow for legal use in a headlamp). (I have personal experience with these bulbs, using them in the factory fog lights on a Honda CRV.) They are very yellow, but not full selective yellow, and are also not...

    Aftermarket headlamp assemblies for 2002 Subaru Impreza

    Narse, I've used the Hella 500's, and while not perfect, they will work well (they're easy to service and repair). If the Subaru was mine, I'd go this route with the fan boy brackets. (I've heard that rallylights.com has them too.) I'd also use these clear covers in the winter season...

    Rallye H7 vs Racing Vision H7 (2016 VW E-Golf)

    Developed by Lumileds? Really? Its a halogen lamp.

    Aftermarket headlamp assemblies for 2002 Subaru Impreza

    Have you ever had your head gaskets replaced? If you haven't, that can give the engine a misfire due to coolant getting into the combustion chamber. It is $$$$. I'd check that out first before spending $$ on new OEM headlights.

    ‘17 Honda CR-V halogen upgrade

    I always keep a spare set in the vehicle. That way I can replace both even if one fails. (I had both low beams fail on me once...not good.)

    Headlights for 1993 Ford Ranger?

    Virgil, are you sure that the Ranger takes the HB1? My folks had the same Ranger back in the day, and my memory says that it took HB5 bulbs.

    Thanks for the info guys. Actually where I live, fog lights are a real help November to March, so I'll just fix it. Thanks again.

    2009 Honda CRV Fog Light

    My wife drives the above vehicle. Recently, the left fog light was impacted by road debris and ruined. Can someone direct me to a legitimate Stanley replacement? The part no. on the lens is P4988L. Did a general online search, and all I got was eBay junk. (I'm trying not to pay $tealership...

    2017 Tacoma Headlights - how do they stack up?

    Dave, if it were me, I'd stick with the halogens and find a way to make them selective yellow, using one of the methods that has been described here on this forum.

    2017 Tacoma Headlights - how do they stack up?

    Why would you want high kelvin, low CRI in a fog light? Lower kelvin (warmer) colors work best in the 'soup'.

    Best upgrade path for troffers?

    LED troffer kits. My local Trader Joe's did this and it looks good. Try to go with a warmer color like 3500K which is less glaring. As to brand, I can't recommend any at this time. (LED tubes are not a good choice, and should be avoided. They are cheap...and that's the problem.)

    LED filaments rapidly taking over what do you think? Philips filament soft whites!

    Now if only they were rated for enclosed fixture use.

    Driveway and outdoor lighting fixtures and bulb advice

    Sounds like you have quite a lighting project. However, we’ll need more information. · What is the diameter of your poles? (2”, 3” etc.) · Do you have a preference on color temperature? (warm 2700K, cool 5000K, or somewhere in between) · What is your budget? (do you want...
