Which H16 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 H16 bulb?
The H16 is a 19 W, 12 V automotive bulb with a PGJ19-3 base. It’s also sold as 5202 and PS24W.
Is the H16 the same as the H27W/1?
No. Even if they look alike, each size has a different base (PGJ19-3 on the H16) and won’t fit another size’s socket. Always buy the exact size your car takes.
What vehicles use a H16 bulb?
Among others, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 GMT900, Chevrolet Silverado 1500 K2XX, GMC Acadia 1st gen and Jeep Gladiator JT. The full list, with the position each one uses it for, is on this page.
Can I replace a H16 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.
