Depends on your model year.

I just replaced my 2011 low beam headlights (H11) and the task is very easy. Just don’t touch the glass bulb with your bare fingers - oil and dirt may shorten the life of your new bulb.

Did you change all of them to sylvania?

The PS low beam went out and I simply replaced both low beams at the same time.
I’m currently running with the Silverstar Ultra variant for both low and high beams.

Pleased with that bulb, and I’ve done LED retrofits but didn’t like them. Hard to explain, but the “throw” and “spread” seemed off with LED, and based on your location in your signature, you may also want to consider how traditional bulbs generate heat to help melt snow and ice off the exterior dome while driving in winter conditions. (might just be internet rumors in full disclosure)

LED replacements also added clutter to engine bay with the additional hardware located about 10” away from the bulb itself.

Are there better and brighter options out there? Perhaps. But the Silverstar Ultras have been super reliable, high output, and easily found at many auto part stores.

edit -model year plays a part here again. There are changes in headlamp assemblies in later years that might negate some of my rationale.

edit#2 - I am running LEDs in my blinkers (another wrinkle with the flasher relay FYI) , taillights, reverse lights, license plate lights, etc all with great results and improved brightness. But for headlights I went the more traditional route fwiw.

Yeah I’m not interested in LED. I’m just looking to get rid of the dim-ish OEM bulbs with something brighter and whiter. I had PIAA before my accident and the body shop put back OEM. I would also change the fogs to match. That link you provided gives a lot of options too, not sure what I’d would even like, to many choices.

2016+ are LED and most likely integrated into a circuit board, meaning you replace the whole housing/module if one goes out.
