Hey guys, been a while I haven't posted here.

Okay, I have been looking around for a good replacement bulbs for our 9005 high beams and all the results are returning back with "120 SMD LED bulbs"

Are they any good? and trusted for better output?

Also, I noticed that our genuine bulbs are 60W. Is there any better site that sells 100W from the same Halogen bulb?

Thanks in advance,

Don't bother with LED bulbs. Stock bulbs will be brighter. Some 100W bulbs would do you good. Many sites sell them.

Take a look on eBay. Search 9005 100W and you'll get a ton of hits.

Now to make sure I'm buying the right item. What is the difference between 9005 HB1 and 9005 HB3..

I understand 9005 is the type of bulb/housing fitting, but what is the HB# ??
