Replacement Headlight bulbs


Recommended Posts

The headlights on my wife's '12 Journey SXT seem really dim.  I also think that they are adjusted really low, so I will be adjusting them up just a little.  I wanted to know what everyone is using to bulbs.  Not looking to do a retrofit, HID bulbs in the reflectors, etc.  Best bulbs to get with current reflector headlights that won't blind other drivers. 

 

Thanks

The appropriate solution is to fit HIR bulbs - they have the same spread and color, but are 40% brighter than stock for the same wattage.  There is a benefit in that the life of an HIR1 and HIR2 bulb is about double that of a conventional halogen bulb.

Info on HIR bulbs: http://store.candlepower.com/9011hir.html

One key on the base of HIR bulbs has to be trimmed to fit into the 9005/9006 receiver.  There are templates for this and it is simple to do.

I bought mine from candlepowerinc.com  The have a deal for a set of 4 bulbs for $70 . . . . . http://store.candlepower.com/hirsponeseto.html

I bought the same light assemblies and brought them to the dealership to install. They couldn't install them because the connections didn't match. They told me I needed a wire harness to fit. But when I bought them it said it would fit a 2015 Journey Crossroad and was a plug and play and required no other wires. Any idea what is going on?
