BEST headlight bulb???

[got_focus? 10+ year member]

I have a 1997 Range Rover HSE and the passenger bulb gave out on me...

I am used to HID (they were in all my other vehicles), but I don't want to do a retro kit and incorporate HID's into this truck....

SO, what I am asking is...what are your suggestions for a BRIGHT headlight for my truck?? Looking for something that compares with HID's...

Thanks!!

w/e u do dont cheap out on the 7$ ebay lights... there bright, color wise but output, they dont match.

I have never bought cheap lights, nor will I. I have owned PIAA, Sylvania, StreetGlow, and numerous others.....just wanting to know other users opinions.

I am willing to spend up to $100

btw, the bulb I am replacing is an H1

get a plug and play HID kit. The newer style ones have pretty good cutoff, and they are not far from $100. I think mine were around $125ish.

FAR more output, and a good cutoff, so I'm not pissing people off.

I LOVE my ApexCone setup.

And DDM has a slimline which has much smaller (easier to mount) ballasts.

$125/129 shipped.

That's a link to the sizing of the ballasts. The chrome one is an ApexCone, for reference.

It uses an H1 bulb, you said...

Scroll down to the design area. And select H1. You're set!

Unless your Rover has Projectors you should shy away from HID's. I've used MTEC's in the past and they can give you some good output.
