The OEM bulbs have a lot of hours on them and I am thinking it is time to replace them. The original bulb is a 9005. What would be a safe upgrade style bulb in this application?
Yup, a good quality 9011/HIR1, modified to fit in place of 9005/HB3 as per this diagram. Same wattage (therefore no electrical or heat problems) but higher output, with identical filament placement for full optical compatibility.

Just as a clarification:. As soon as I click the Amazon link for the bulbs, (on my cell phone I must confess), it shows "View newer model" with a slightly cheaper cost. Is it wise to go with the "newer" one?
