What headlight bulbs should I get?

LED seems to be the way of the future. I have yet to try them but lower power consumption and longer lasting than filament type are pretty good advantages. I use Hella 70w H7s in my trucks.

The Auxbeam website was a little quirky for me. After selecting LED LIGHT BULBS in the top menu (Step 1), you have to click the picture of the yellow "supercar" or whatever it is. While "Find Your Vehicle" is a hyperlink, it does nothing. Alternately, you can just go to fitment.auxbeam.com.

So I ordered the auxbeam.com/products/spu00174 and with the spring clip in the housing the fit looks to be a no go. No big deal, I will return them. When loading the vehicle for fit, the results show a lot of options. Many I can tell will not work with the spring clip or even fit behind the rubber cover. Which ones are working and how? Many options.

Yes H7 P20 LED 5000LM. They look just link the ones in the link you sent. Maybe I didn't try hard enough but with the cooling fan thing the spring clip stood no chance. The cord pigtail also came out of the LED and interfered with the light housing at the opening lip forcing a tight right angle. That might have gone with some work but the clip looked like a never without bending or removing.

Not sure why anyone is having a problem with this. Yes, you have to remove the wire retaining clip (I had forgotten about that step) but then you can reinstall it to hold the unit in place. The wires will also fit inside the housing and the cap can be reinstalled.
Or don't, and use different bulbs.
