Both headlights on my 2007 Tacoma burned out (low beams) and I need to get some replacements pronto (9003/H4). I started searching to see what the best option would be but there's too much conflicting information out there to sort through in the time I have. I was about to just order some OEM replacements just to get it done but decided to ask here, first.
OEM replacements or similar would provide longest life, it seems, but other options provide higher performance at expense of shorter life. The OEM bulbs lasted almost 50,000 miles (I left them on all the time). I'm willing to lose some longevity for some performance gain, but I don't want to be spending $35+ on bulbs every year or two. So is there a solid mid-compromise bulb that will give me decent life and a bit better performance? If it matters, nearly 100% of my nighttime driving is very rural with the occasional small town.
Thanks!
