Review on Super Bright White 9005(HB3) Car Headlight Bulb - 2-Pack, 65W, Halogen Xenon Light Replacement [12V] by Ralph Foster

DANGER DO NOT BUY - my new review

Who knows if I got duds but they both went out and exploded, one melting my electrical housing, in less than 3 months. One of my original bulbs (last photo for reference) went out, so I had to replace. The originals were brighter than these. These lights are also yellow, not white. They both went out at the same time. Severe burns on both; one looked cracked then fell apart when I put it down. I didn’t even recognize the electrical housing on the first one I opened; it melted and adhered to the side of the headlight housing. So grateful my headlights still work.I have aftermarket headlights on my Subaru Impreza. Went with LED bulbs, so far so good. Just pay the extra for LED.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Poor energy efficiency: Another downside of these halogen xenon light bulbs is their poor energy efficiency. They require a lot of power to operate, which can put a significant strain on your car's electrical system and even drain your battery faster. In the long run, this could end up costing you more in energy bills and maintenance fees
