Replacement Bulbs - Headlights

[mossback]

Some of the worst offenders like Sylvania rate their high-output halogens for as little as 65 ...HOURS

.... yes hours!!!!

Sylvania really are terrible. I made the mistake of purchasing these for a prior vehicle and both burned out quickly. Never again for me.

Wasnt "adaptive" when it turns with the steering wheel or some such crap?

My 09 Mercedes ML350 did up, down, left, and right and when you went around a corner it pointed the lights in the direction you were turning. It was actually pretty cool. When would pull out of a parking lot and turn the wheels to the left, or right you could actually see the headlights move left or right.

Anyone have a source for genuine Osram halogens. The made-in-Germany bulbs, not Osram Sylvania made in USA?

Halogen(left) vs led(right) in a reflector headlight. Anyone see an issue here?

Thats a specific LED bulb in a specific reflector... LEDs vary wildly

Sure they do but unless in a properly designed reflector or projector they are all subpar
