Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Installation was very simple; the only modification that needs to be done is to trim one of the tabs on the 9012 hir bulb. Just unscrew the retainer ring at the bask of the housing, plug in the bulb, then screw it back in.

This is the simplest, best bang for the buck lighting upgrade i've ever done. Good light throw, and since the filament is the same as the original bulb, the light distribution and beam pattern is unaffected.

Price

Much better option than being price gouged by the mechanic when you can do it yourself in 5 minutes!

I can buy two of these for the price the dealer wants for one!

Shipping

I received this item promptly and made the needed tab modification without a problem using a dremel.

It's a hard size to find and i was thrilled that amazon had it and could get it to me quickly!

Packaging/appearance

Arrived in solid packaging and was a breeze to install (yes, even for me, a girl).

Competitiveness

Overall i do not recommend this procdure as there is no practical difference from the cheaper 9006, but if you're into 'mods' t... Read More

Overall, i am disappointed in the updated technology, i expected a noticeable difference going from an old worn out 9006 (1000 ... Read More

I read a few reviews about the 9012 bulb, prior to that having no knowledge of this bulb, or that it's comparable with the 9006... Read More
