Which H13 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 H13 bulb?+

The H13 is a 60/55 W, 12 V automotive bulb with a P26.4t base. It’s also sold as 9008.

Is the H13 the same as the H15?+

No. Even if they look alike, each size has a different base (P26.4t on the H13) and won’t fit another size’s socket. Always buy the exact size your car takes.

What vehicles use a H13 bulb?+

Among others, the Ford F-150 12th gen, Jeep Wrangler JK, Chevrolet Cruze 1st gen, Dodge Challenger LC, Dodge Grand Caravan 5th gen, Dodge Ram 1500 3rd gen, Ford Escape 2nd gen and Ford Explorer 4th gen. The full list, with the position each one uses it for, is on this page.

Can I replace a H13 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.
