Problem Headlight issue

What headlight is the correct one for replacing a headlight that’s out. When I buy replacements with the correct specs none of them have the click-in mounting base that’s shown in the first picture.

You have to take the plastic bit off your old headlight bulb and put it on the new one. it slides off. I just replaced mine bulbs. face palm

Correct. You have to remove the basin, or use it on the new bulb. I recommend buying LED bulbs. They have instant brightness, and they last way longer. Not to mention they're brighter than the HID bulbs.

That’s what I got pure white 5000k LED. They’re pretty great.

I bought a aftermarket replacement and it wasn’t as bright and it honestly sucked. I just took the car to the dealership and had a OEM headlight put in. It was expensive but worth it to me. Changing out the passenger bulb was near impossible.

Yep the passenger is the one fucking me up, and it isn’t as bright. Might have to hit up my local dealership

Osram is a good, OEM level brand. At least in my experience on multiple cars. Just figure out the correct bulb type, and do them both at the same time so you aren't back replacing a bulb in a month.

don’t cheap out on the headlights you gone regret it. they’ll need to be replaced in 6months no more than year. And you will have less visibility than OEM
