Which H4 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 H4 bulb?+

The H4 is a 60/55 W, 12 V automotive bulb with a P43t base. It’s also sold as 9003, HB2, 64193 and 12342.

Is the H4 the same as the H7?+

No. Even if they look alike, each size has a different base (P43t on the H4) and won’t fit another size’s socket. Always buy the exact size your car takes.

What vehicles use a H4 bulb?+

Among others, the Honda CR-V 3rd gen, Honda CR-V 4th gen, Hyundai Tucson LM, Toyota Highlander XU40, Toyota Tacoma 2nd gen and Toyota Tundra 2nd gen facelift. The full list, with the position each one uses it for, is on this page.

Can I replace a H4 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.
