Which H7 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 H7 bulb?+

The H7 is a 55 W, 12 V automotive bulb with a PX26d base. It’s also sold as 64210 and 12972.

Is the H7 the same as the H8?+

No. Even if they look alike, each size has a different base (PX26d on the H7) and won’t fit another size’s socket. Always buy the exact size your car takes.

What vehicles use a H7 bulb?+

Among others, the Chevrolet Traverse 1st gen facelift, Ford Fusion 2nd gen, GMC Acadia 1st gen, Volkswagen Jetta A6 (NCS) and Volkswagen Passat NMS. The full list, with the position each one uses it for, is on this page.

Can I replace a H7 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.
