Review on 💡 Hella H3 Standard Halogen Bulb - 12V, 55W by Robert Berio

I bought them with clear lenses HELLA 005860801 450 12v fog light kit as they no longer come with amber lenses. These lamps worked fantastic. The color is rich yellow. Even at 55 watts they work very well. Installed at the end of August. However, one lasted until mid-November, just when I needed it. I was careful. Gloves were used and wiped down with 99% isopropyl alcohol. I checked another one and it is also showing signs of failure. I will buy another set but if they die before the year is out I will have to give up and go the other way. Unfortunately, due to the decline in cadmium in the 1980's and 90's, there isn't a really good source of selective yellow onions these days. It seems that the current method that turns these bulbs yellow is also shortening their lifespan. Worked very well while they lasted. UPDATE: The second lightbulb in the set died. Both bulbs burned out in less than three months. Never.
