Default Headlamp headlight out -

Hi,

Just noticed my left headlight is out, the high beam works fine.

Should I buy the bulb from the dealer or can I get it from Autozone?

Is this correct? If so any particular brand ?

Bulb No: 9005
Watts: 55
Type: H11 Halogen


Thanks in advance.

Why don"t you update to the HID kit from Theretrofit you will never regret . I"m having a H11 HID kit from Theretrofit.com about $165, loving it so far.

gxman1, you don't have to pay the dealers markup for a bulb. Just go to Autozone and find a 9005 bulb like this. Since they're so cheap I'd go ahead and replace both sides.

Shyguy, I will definately look into it, and price is too good to not do it. Thanks for the tip.

Rc, the Amazon price is amazing, just pulled the bulb out it is Phillips. I have to pick it up from Autozone since I need it right away. Thanks

You can get HIDs on amazon for 40$ a set. They work fine. Put em on my pick up.

With all of the recent negatives, I wouldn't waste my money on that kit.

Get a HID kit from Xenondepot---I have had their kits for several years with no issues, I have both Low beams and HID fogs too. The Low bean kit is Plug and Play--simple simple to install and the light output is Amazing!!
