Which Headlight bulb do most people use?

My driver side headlight went out and I have no idea which bulb I should use.
I live in the big city but don't drive too much at night.

Best to change both at the same time.

Keep in mind the hotter the color the shorter the life, which usually means the higher the cost the shorter the life. Life estimates are on the back of the package.

Get whatever you want. Everybody has a belly button/favorite.

If you're only replacing the one that's burned out, then get one that matches the passenger side. Ex. If the passenger is the original (standard) type bulb, then you want one that matches in intensity and light color.

Not compatible with either LT or LS. . . .

Ended getting 2 bulbs for $10. Hope they work.

9008 is an industry identification for the H13 designation. H13 is the actual international name/designation. 9008 is a stock number, that's why it is hard to find in some places.
