So at least three years for sure, wow I'd expect much better than old OEM's.2001LC,
IDK if they have ever been changed. I haven't since i bought the 100 3 years ago.
They are exactly like the one's on post 104. They are marked 65W and the 9005's are marked 60W

Which bulb are you selling 9005NBU or 9006NBU?
Same experience I had with HIR. The Osram OptiBright was brighter, and now the Phillips +90% is even brighter than that. The HIRs were Toshiba tho, new ones might be better.I put the 9011's in (high beam)that i got from Amazon this weekend and was a little disappointed. Not much brighter than the 9005's that came out. I considered returning them but since i modded them i wont.
Oh well.....
unfortunately the comparison shots don't show much. too much sun shining on the from of the truck.
anyone want to buy my extra set?

Then, about moving the battery, or the lamp, to change the bulb --- : Isn't the UZJ the same as the HDJ re removing the washer reservoir's filler pipe in order to access the bulbs? Just pinch the clips and pull straight up.
There are other posts about them exploding, I think in the 80 section and also in the 100 section. These were Toshiba bulbs in the high beams. 20k miles over 2.5 years is what they lasted. No wiring mods, no relays no drl mod.
I like the brightest headlight as much as the next guy does. However I do have one question...
Have any of you taken a IR gun and measured the temperature at the reflector? These headlights are not polished chrome, they are plated and baked. The larger the bulb, the hotter it runs. Halogen generally runs very, very hot. I have seen a few headlights where people put high wattage, high output bulbs and within a year the chrome on the reflector has deteriorated severely. Before any of you suggest the next bulb, I strongly recommend taking the temperature. This is a major issue with HID's in projectors. However, it's not limited to halogen multi-point reflectors. You can, and will burn these headlights if you are not careful.
What is the question regarding H1 bulbs in the LX? I have upgraded my H1's to the regular silver star Series H1's. They made an improvement over stock, but not as much as HIR'S do. However, they outlasted both of my HIR'S in my HB non projectors.
When my HIR'S went on the way to Moab, I put in either extra vision or more silver stars in place of the HIR's. (I was all stressed out over my TPS issues as well as the bulbs n I can't remember for sure.) I will hunt down my receipt and figure out which.

Could you clear up two points here:
1) The picture is not a reflective housing & bulb, but that of low beams which is a projector type lens with and H1 bulb in this LX correct?
2) How much time (old) was on the OEM bulb?
Not the first report of this happening, See # 212 my OEM bubls are dim but after 13 years still work.Had both my Philips 9011 HIR2 brights blow out yesterday morning while on the road to my hunting lease. They were maybe two years old. Seemed brighter to me, but replacement every two years isn't going to cut it.
Not sure what I'm buying to replace.....
Hi BTUMAN - can you please direct me to the "thread for my new to me 2000 LC" ? I have really tried to use search - but no luckPut Phillips 9011s in both low and high beams using the simple modifications shown in thread for my new to me 2000 LC. Extremely impressed and I can actually see at night with the low beams without folks calling for dim. I did the double gasket on the high beams (took off old ones). Seriously, probably twice the distance. It was really bad before. Amazon seems to be the best place to source.
