Review on πŸ’‘ HELLA 9003TB Standard Halogen Bulbs: Bright 12V, 60/55W Illumination by Jacob Ferrarini

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Lasted exactly one year

You know, the price is good and the light quality is excellent. But I replaced both headlights with this Hella on our Odyssey in 2004, and almost exactly a year later one of them burned out. We bought the Transporter at the end of 2004, so 11 years on the original Honda and 1 year on the Hella. Hella's price back then was about the same as it is today. With a 10x lifespan increase, the Honda originals would be a lot cheaper if you keep the car for a long time. We're not keeping it that long so I think paying this price (x2) for a year of use is ok, but it's a little disappointing and certainly doesn't deserve 4 or 5 stars. Update about 1 week later: 2nd of 2 failed. I'll still leave 3 stars but doesn't it feel like they're doomed?

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
