Hello all,
I have a 2008 Chevy Colorado that has relatively new OEM headlamp enclosures (about two years old from the dealer), and they are not cloudy or hazy. The owner's manual lists a 9006 for the low beam and a 9005 for the high beam.
From my looking around the forum, it seems that the top opinions for the best replacement bulbs of these types in general would include the Philips 9006XVB2 X-tremeVision Upgrade Headlight Bulb (available from Amazon for about $30 for two bulbs) and the Philips 9011 HIR Standard Halogen Replacement Headlight Bulb (available from Amazon for about $34 for two bulbs).
What I would like to know is if there are any better (read brighter and whiter) bulbs that would be better for my specific application in the Colorado, or are these my best choices while remaining legal? If it makes any difference, I have made my parking lights/turn signals function as my DRLs instead of my low beams. Thanks in advance for any help!
