Hey guys and girls. I need some advice on headlight bulbs for the car my wife is driving. I’m replacing the housings but have never bought bulbs for it. I know that I need h7 and 9005 bulbs, but everywhere I go to buy them I see bad reviews. Just need a little advice.

the bad reviews are almost always from people who touched the glass with their bare fingers during install and then got mad when the bulb died in 2 weeks get the basic ones from a parts store, not the "ultra white" stuff that burns out way faster. wipe them down with alcohol before you put them in and they'll last years
Bulbs are bulbs for the most part. I usually go for Osram on my own cars, Ring on customers', but it really doesn't matter a great deal. If it fits, it sits.
