Review on ๐Ÿ”ฆ Philips H9 Standard Halogen Replacement Headlight Bulb, 1 Pack - 12361B1 by David Dreher

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Decent bulb that lights up the road at an affordable price

I have a 2006 Honda CR-V that the headlights seem to blow out frequently (3-6 months average). That may be because I've been buying brighter bulbs all the time (to compensate for the severe clouding of the lenses) and still haven't used dielectric grease (despite the fact that friends said it would help stop using the bulbs before Run away). I decided to change a few things with this lamp setup. First I restored and sealed the lenses. Second, I used dielectric grease. As always, I used latex gloves to keep the oil from getting on the onions from my fingers; and I was very careful to put the bulbs in the housings so the bulbs don't touch anything. Philips lamps have been installed for more than five months without any sign of failure. The photos provided speak for themselves. The bulbs just worked and put out the standard amount of yellow light you would expect from a typical H1 bulb. If they last 8 months to a year I will definitely buy these lamps again. If I have reason to change my rating I will do so as soon as possible. Until then, take care.
