Which bulb should I buy?
- Just need it working again? Buy the standard halogen in the same size. It's cheap, it's legal everywhere, and it takes five minutes.
- Want to see better at night without messing with anything? Step up to a brighter halogen. Same plug, more light, no wiring.
- Want the white, modern look? Go LED. Great for fog, reverse, plate and interior lights. For headlights, LED bulbs in a housing built for halogen can throw glare, so aim them after you install and check your state's rules before running them on the street.
Our picks by bulb size
D1S (headlight high beam and low beam)

While you're in there
- Cloudy headlights? New bulbs won't fix a yellowed lens. A replacement housing makes a bigger difference than any bulb: see Volkswagen Jetta headlights at NTXGlow.
