So my low beam bulb went out. Is there a better bulb people like and use? Or should I just replace it with a stock unit?

Sorry, I should have said this, but in the “Black Appearance Package” I have the Bi Projector Headlights. But I appreciate know this will be a PITA to change, so I’ll order all new bulbs. Cheers

Ordered some Philips low beam and Sylvania High Beam bulbs. We’ll see how they do

Wish I saw this earlier.
You can replace both high and lowbeams with brighter (and legal) bulbs by slightly modifying the bases.
It's a significant improvement.
How to modify:
For the HIR highbeam: https://sep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-91565365470012_2267_311973
For the H9 (2100 lm vs the stock 1350 lm), just use a dremel or sharp knife and cut off the plastic fin that runs down the middle of the bulb's female socket.

Dang; I didn't see this post at first. The advice in my previous post if for the quad-halogens with parabolas.
What bulbs are stock in the projectors?

Cool. You can replace the 9005 with an HIR-1 then. The HIR-2 is good the way it is.Low beams are HIR2
High Beams are 9005

The LL versions are weaker output to last longer. I'd rather use good bulbs and replace them annually.

Will I need to do any modifying to make that adjustment to HIR-1’s?

Take a pair of dykes and snip the top tab a little. Easy peasy.

And next time anybody needs an HIR2 bulb these should be available.
