Hella H1 Standard Halogen Bulb, 12 V, 55W

Hella is/was a very trusted name 20-30 years ago, things change and I see now they are no longer built in Germany. Time will tell if they are still good.The packaging was BAD, a glass bulb in a thin cardboard box in a plastic bag. Box was crushed a little but bulb appears to be intact.

Awesome all weather high beams. Work really well in the rain fog and snow!

I'm an idiot and was bench testing headlights I was making, gave em 18v. They got quite bright for oh 2 seconds and then suddenly no worky. Naturally I assumed one was faulty and did it to the other one, shocker the same result.So uh, don't do that. For the brief time they were alive, they were quite bright

Decent halogen for the price. Standard yellowish light output. 2k nigh driving miles & still going strong.

I bought the Xtreme Yellow Halogen bulbs and I only recommend buying this bulb for foglight only. Comes with 2 Yellow Halogen bulbs and fits only for H1 foglight. It's golden yellow and looks exactly like the GT LED golden yellow on many sports cars.When installing, do not touch the bulb glass whatsoever with your fingers as it will leave oil and prints and cause damage in the future to the light. Only touch the silver aluminum when installing it into the H1 insert slot (probably why so many people's bulb light gets burnt real quick).A side note: Be sure to test the bulb first before you clip it into your head/fog light. I know for me when I was testing my new left fog light I had to switch the other Xtreme Halogen Bulb with the other one because it didn't work and now they both work just fine. If one of the new bulb doesn't work, just switch it with the other one and it'll work. Hope this helps when testing it.And I'll keep you guys updated as well to see how long these will last and hopefully, it'll last up to 80,000 miles like it says it would on the description, but I know for a fact that I will not use my foglight much unless it's severe weather like rain, snow, ice, and dark areas. Although it is badass having the fog light on for looks on your car lol

The base of the bulbs have ruptured after less than 2 months. I made sure to not touch any of the glass when installing. Very poor quality and would not purchase again.

The Hella Optilux XB Series H1 Xenon White Halogen Bulbs deliver impressive brightness and a crisp white light that significantly improves nighttime visibility. Installation was quick and easy, and the difference in clarity compared to standard halogens was immediately noticeable. These bulbs look great and perform very well on the road.However, the biggest drawback is their longevity. For a reputable brand like Hella, I expected these to last longer. Unfortunately, they tend to burn out quicker than I’d like—especially at this wattage—and that’s disappointing for what is otherwise an excellent product.If you’re looking for strong light output and don't mind replacing bulbs a bit more often, these are a solid choice. But if durability is your top concern, you may want to explore other options.

Worked flawlessly for the past 6 months.
