    IIHS test of headlamp performance

    A few more details on their test procedures here: http://www.iihs.org/iihs/sr/statusreport/article/51/3/1 It seems almost impossible. Car magazine reviews are far more interested in reporting 0-60, 1/4 mile, skid pad, and braking times. So no help there.

    IIHS test of headlamp performance

    I was about to post this too. All I can say is its about fricken' time someone pulled the NHTSAs pants down on this. They have been ignoring the problem for decades.

    Current best 6" x 8" sealed beam replacements

    Having seen neither the Truck-Lite nor the GE in person, do they have the respective logos on the front? Or does Truck-Lite build them generically with no logos? (I don't really care either way. Just curious.)

    One of my cars, a 1990 Buick Reatta, came from the factory with Guide 65/35w H6054s. Some years ago, when I realized the low beams were only 35w, I quickly replaced the Guides with Hella #72206 and currently running Sylvania Xtravision 60/55w 9003/HB2 bulbs. My question is: Why did/do so may...

    Philips Lamps Now at Pep Boys

    I hope that being marketed by Philips, the LED 1156 and 1157 replacements would be pretty good. (I have a lot of their LED products in my house.) My old 944 uses 7506 (P21W) bulbs in the rear for turn, stop and backup. It also uses 7528 (P21/5W) in front for the marker and turn signal. These...

    Philips Lamps Now at Pep Boys

    I was at my local Pep Boys yesterday and saw the new Philips line. Sylvania is completely gone from the shelves. Almost bought a pair of the Philips 9003 +100 bulbs... Has anyone tried the new Philips 1156 LED replacement yet? A review would be nice. (And yes, they apparently do meet SAE...
