Sinoparcel HIR2 9012 Headlight Bulb, 3500K Yellow White 50% Whiter 12V 55W for High and Low Beam, for Stock Halogen Replacement, IP67, Pack of 2

**update** I just need to post a small update; every once in a while, alas, these do seem to allow a bulb failure warning error on the dash / MFD - (they aren’t blocked from working though & light up fine). I have since purchased inline resistors from Amazon & will at some point fit them alongside the LED’s. For the time being, I’ve reverted back to the incandescent originals. PSB my original review.Replaced the original incandescent / filament / halogen foglight H11 bulbs in my Mercedes SL with these.They're very bright and just work. No errors.The reason for replacing mine - I'd already replaced the aging original HID / Xenon standard low-beam bulbs with 2 of these "Osram Xenarc Cool Blue Intense NextGen HID" bulbs (from Amazon.co.uk) & whilst they're probably brighter than the originals, they're a million miles away from the very yellowy original foglight bulbs (which illuminate on going around corners & when you lock & leave the car on this car like many others). Having also replaced the Halogen H7 high beam bulbs for LED on this same car (also from Amazon.co.uk with these: Oushi H7 LED 6000k bulbs - which also work with no errors), the foglights stood out like a sore thumb (oh & I also replaced the sidelight T5 ones with error-free bulbs I already had although the colour temp is wrong - but that's another story).For the SL 500 there are under trays at each front corner which have to be removed & access to the bulb is then dead easy - a little harder on the (UK) passenger side as there are either A/C or maybe ABC pipes that cross (perhaps not on the 350??) but still quite easy that side too. Once the under trays are removed the bulbs fit very easily indeed. I tested for any errors & there were none so I refitted the under-trays & they look fine. The bulbs are provided with some "Michael Jackson" white gloves so as to avoid getting any grease on them (that would create a hot spot & lead to premature expiry). I've rated them highly - but I can't account for longevity as they're only just fitted. Given fog lights are not used often nor for long periods of time, I would imagine these last quite a long time.

Very bright and a nice white-yellow colour. Extraordinary value for money for the quality and clarity of the lights - even as a halogen!Note: it is currently illegal in the UK to purchase LED lights for a car that doesn't already have LEDs installed, as they're not regulated and need special equipment inside the headlight itself to prevent eye damage. This means this white halogen light is perfect for cars that want to look modern, and still be road legal!I can't comment on the lifespan of the halogens as I haven't tested them long enough to tell, but they certainly work well and I can't imagine them failing anytime soon. Even if they did, for the price, they'd surely deserve another buy from me.

I have bought this bulbs second, they have very good light and long life, only flaw with otherwise perfect bulbs is their fitting, after trying many times they still fo not fit properly in toyota auris 18 plate. Still better than many others

UPDATEI recently got a positive response from Sinoparcel who apologised and informed me that they had a batch of bad bulbs. They have sent me another set which are unbelievably bright - like night and day to my original delivery. I think Sinoparcel definitely take customer service seriously and I will definitely buy off them in the future. So a big thank you to their customer service team!My previous review is below - I normally don’t write reviews but on this occasion I was so disappointed I have decided to leave a review. I put these on a Mazda 6 and they light they give off is extremely poor. I know they weren’t expensive but the light is so bad that I can’t see the the road ahead. I had to double check I had installed them correctly as I couldn’t see them during testing unless i got directly level with my headlight. After installing two o e failed after a week and now I am just going to replace for better quality. You get what you pay - lesson learned

crap don't buy it. I got it in December because I was bored to have to change my old halogen ones every 6 months. First, I was please, it was bright, it changes all on the road. I was happy. then a month ago it started flickering a bit but nothing serious, so I was guessing it was because it must warm up a bit... then yesterday I noticed that my visibility was lower than usual, just check and one was gone... faster than the halogen

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect but these are absolutely amazing. A complete life changer and has upgraded the look of my car to the next level. They truly are white. No error message either. Will just have to wait and see how long they last. I have attached a before and after image for comparison.

I bought 3 packs of these lamps, had to return one pair as one lamp failed immediately on installation, but replaced immediately by the supplier.why 3 stars? One lamp has just failed after only 5 months installed. A typical H7 halogen lamp will last 5 years!The lamps do meet all the descriptions on the Amazon website and give a great white light. The spread seems to meet criteria too,, but the life span is really poor given the price.

after trying so many different bulbs i’ve finally found something for me, been looking for a nice white set which has good range for night driving, these are better than the big brand bulbs i’ve spent £20/£30 on, got a very good LED look, good view of the road in the dark, i can’t speak on how long they’ll last yet but for the price it’s definitely worth rebuying
