What kind of headlight bulbs do you run in your DD....
I was using Sylvania silverstar or as I called them ultra quick to blow out bulbs, nice color light but damn they didn't last.
Switched to GE nighthawk platinum a couple years ago, finally had one go out after after 2.5 years. Not quite as white as Ultrastars and not as bright overall but they sure lasted alot longer.
Any other reasonably priced bulbs you've had luck with?

What no option for pie
What would flexo do
Cajuns don't need no stinkin headlights
FP has people to change headlights and doesn't worry about trivial things such as this.

That's absolutely not true. We do need one. But it's a spotlight for night huntin'.

I'm guessing he would watch a u-tube video on how to replace the bulb(s)

As for me, I got LEDs in my DD.

Oem Led with auto high beam...theyre freakin fantastic. Before that oem hid. honestly these new headlights and other saftey features really make a newer vehicle make a lot of sense.

Cheaper to trade in the car when the headlight bulbs blow, than it is to replace the blown headlight bulb.

Same issue for me with Silver Stars.

They don't seem to last well at all.

:D My beloved Grandma would trade in her car whenever it needed new tires. She always bought the same model and color so her neighbors didn't think she was being "fancy" as she said. :D I miss her. :sadangel:

Shit Firestone wanted $120 to change one of the head lights on my wife’s Hyundai, I changed the bulb in their parking lot in a white work shirt with no tools, bunch’s assholes.

I don't give a shit what Flexo would do. The 04 Ranger still has OE whatever Ford put in there. The Mustang runs LEDs with the most distinct cutoff I have ever seen. It's spooky... like someone drew a line at the top of the beam. Won't dazzle oncoming traffic but limits my attempt to see deer or other pedestrians on the edges of the beam.
