    Hello - I have a 2013. I installed a heavy duty aftermarket lighting harness about a year ago and one bulb is out and the other will likely be done soon. I have Osram H4 100/90w "super bright premium" Now - hard to find? Any recommendations for a replacement - bright white halogen lamp? Or a US supplier that stocks em?

    The bulbs are not hard to find.

    That is the highest performing bulb for the OEM assembly. Whiter in halogens equates to lower output. Replacement LEDs perform horribly and cause massive glare to oncoming drivers and will be a massive downgrade from what you are running. You might check out the Philips GT200 performance H4s listed in that thread, they are whiter than the Superbrighters, but will also be lower in output.

    Thanks for the reply! This company is in the UK and ships to the U.S., but not to Idaho... I ordered from a company in Portugal, fyi

    Thanks for this. I ordered 4. Seems like they don't last too long. Bright white light!

    They are rated at 200 hours. Mine last about a year only running them when needed, not during the day and being sure to always have them off when starting the truck.
