Thinking about replacing my driving lights in the bumper with something more powerful than the 55W halogen H3's that are OEM. However, I haven't found anything that puts out more light that would actually fit in there.
Most of the H3 replacements I have found are either weaker than the 1450 lumens the halogens are supposed to have, or are way longer and thus won't fiit in the reflector. The H3's are actually pretty small bulbs. Posting this here on the off chance that someone has actually found something that works. |

Yep, spokeworks’ units are plenty bright. I was only talking about that one specific H3 LED bulb I’m using on my car. It fits inside the light housing and provides the functionality I was looking for. Probably not great as a driving light, but very good as a daytime running light. Sorry for any confusion.
