2002 V70 (Low Beam - H7 bulb)

Post by Mr. Detail »

I need to replace a burnt-out H7 low beam bulb on my P2 and I wondered if anyone has seen a replacement site that a guy used to have who sold H7 replacement bulbs that actually were brighter than the standard ones. I think the site went out of business but I just wondered if anyone here found a similar replacement bulb with more lumens?

Seems the usual trade off is brightness vs longevity on halogens. After fighting led bulb failure warnings I went with Sylvania XtraVision for a little more longevity vs going up to Silverstars. Silverstar reviews seem to indicate they are a 12 month bulb.
