Just works, value for money.
I drive a 2006 Jetta, which uses these bulbs, and I do a lot of miles. Living in Canada, the Jetta has daytime running lights, which are basically the low-beams on all the time, unlike other cars where the DRL is slightly dimmer. The result of this is that my Jetta uses these, and this H7 was pretty pricy from the dealership, 'till I discovered these. Well made, work really well and they are consistent, if I put in two of these, they both last almost the same amount of time.

Excellent bulbs for their purpose.
Works well, bright enough, long lasting. Price is right as well. I recommend that headlight bulbs be replaced every 2 years or so, depending on the amount of driving done at night. Headlights get dimmer as they are used and eventually put out a pittance of light. Don't need more light and not have it.

A perfect inexpensive fit for my 2011 GLK 350
One of my bulbs recently went out in my SUV. I cross referenced the part number in my manual with this bulb and everything is working perfectly! Installation was very straight forward in the GLK. Step 1: Remove a round seal/cap on the rear of the headlight assembly. Step 2: Disconnect the wiring harness that attaches to the old bulb. Step 3: Loosen/move the retaining clip out of the way that holds the bulb in place. Step 4: Remove and replace the old bulb with the new bulb. Step 5: Reverse Steps 1-3. So much cheaper (and less time consuming) than going to the dealer. Highly recommended!

Right Bulb, Great Price, and Speedy Delivery!!!
This bulb was perfect for my neighbor's Hyundai (she had gotten a replacement warning). I got a dozen homemade oatmeal raisin cookies for installing it... Thank you, Amazon!!

Wrong Size for Application, Amazon!
According to Amazon's fitment tool, this H7 bulb is supposed to fit my 2007 Mini Cooper S turbo hatchback. This is completely false! The car actually takes H13 bulbs. After receiving and finding out that it was the wrong size, I tried to go through the automated RMA process, which told me that I would have to be charged a $6+ fee (restocking or something) to return it, since it wasn't Amazon's fault. I bought the bulbs for $12, which is a great price, but I essentially have to give away half the price because I trusted the fitment tool. In the end it's my fault for trusting a system, but it is expected to be trustworthy.

Works as expected. 2008 Mazda 3 Hatchback
2008 Mazda 3 Hatchback. Per the instructions, I was careful to use gloves when installing the bulb. So far no problems.

You get what you pay for
This worked great on my 2005 Mazda 3. Installation was a bit of a hassle but it does the job. Update: I now have two of these in my car. When I replaced the first light I didn't notice much of a difference so I thought the product was good but when the other light died and I installed another one of these and I could barely see at night, I actually feel pretty unsafe at night with these lights. I'll be replacing these with another brand with higher lumens.

Perfect for replacing our burnt out Saab headlight
We own a 2005 Saab that seems to We own a 2005 Saab that seems to have all kinds of minor health problems throughout the year. Oddly the front headlight bulbs seem to go out once a year. Taking the car in to a mechanic is never convenient, so I did some research on YouTube and learned that replacing a headlight on one’s own is a pretty simple job (at least the right side headlight in my cars case). I’ve ordered car parts on Amazon in the past so I had no problem feeling confident about ordering this replacement headlight bulb. It was delivered promptly, fit the description and look as advertised, and I replaced the burnt out bulb without a hitch. Unlike what some people report, I didn’t have to modify the tab to secure the bulb into the fitting. As for the quality of the bulbs, they appear to shine brighter than the left side front light, the manufacturer of which I don’t know yet since I haven’t had to replace that bulb yet. It’s worked for a week so far.
