    Default Question for car guy's

    So I have an 08 Subaru. I bought some LED headlight bulbs that were Sylvania's. I had them in the car for about 3 months when both of them crapped out last night. The wiring is fine and put my factory bulbs back in and all is good. I am in the market for some new LED bulbs that work! I read some reviews but don't want to buy anything yet without getting some good feedback. Anyone have a good brand they trust for a recommendation?

    The biggest reason for LED's to die early is AC ripple. Your car has an alternator and a rectifier/voltage regulator built in. If these are not 100% then led's will die a short death.
    I see you running, tell me what your running from

    Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.

    Don't you need the whole HID set-up to run HID bulbs effectively?

    I have owned Subys from the early '80-'99. As much as I like them, the headlights historically suck. Bad lenses. Bad light patterns. Etc...

    And defrosters. Why can't they make a system that clears the whole window?

    Agreed.

    How's that 99 getting along? Kinda regret selling it.
