Which H10 to buy: standard, brighter or long life

  • Standard: the OEM-equivalent replacement. The cheapest option and the longest lasting.
  • Brighter (+100% to +200%): they throw more light, farther down the road (Philips RacingVision, Sylvania SilverStar ultra, Osram Night Breaker…). They last a bit less: replace them in pairs.
  • Long life: made for high-mileage drivers or headlights that are hard to get to (Philips LongLife, Sylvania Basic, Osram Ultra Life).
  • Whiter light: a cooler, xenon-like tone that stays street legal. They give up a little performance in rain and fog.

Before switching to LED, check which LED headlight bulbs are street legal and under what conditions.

Frequently asked questions

What is a H10 bulb?+

The H10 is a 42 W, 12 V automotive bulb with a PY20d base. It’s also sold as 9145 and 9140.

Is the H10 the same as the H11?+

No. Even if they look alike, each size has a different base (PY20d on the H10) and won’t fit another size’s socket. Always buy the exact size your car takes.

What vehicles use a H10 bulb?+

Among others, the Ford F-150 12th gen, Ford F-150 11th gen, Ford Ranger 2nd gen facelift, Ram 1500 4th gen (DS), Toyota Tacoma 2nd gen and Toyota Tundra 2nd gen. The full list, with the position each one uses it for, is on this page.

Can I replace a H10 with an LED?+

Not in a headlight designed for halogen bulbs: in the US, LED retrofit bulbs in halogen headlamp housings are not DOT / FMVSS 108 compliant for on-road use and can cause glare or issues at a state inspection. For more light, choose a high-performance halogen.
