    Guys,

    I need your inputs for the best valued headlight bulb for a van. Gusto ko all weather and definitely will reveal the road at night.

    TIA!

    www.danielsternlighting.com has a list of good brands.

    Osram, Narva, Philips - all good European brands. If you want good illumination, that's a different matter, you have to ensure your van's headlamp lenses are clean inside and outside, and the reflector has no rust spots (that can develop from leaks), and finally that the shiny reflector material is in good shape too (just needs good cleaning). If it's pitted or roughed up, there's nothing you can do unless you replace them.

    Also if your headlights are sealed beams, toss them and go for European conversions (drop in). Usually mga 7 inch round, 5.25 inch round, yung rectangle and squarish lights na sealed beams have Euro conversions where you can replace the bulb.

    I also recommend improving the groundings. I see many people very happy improving their old rides with it.

    sir, i will apologize ahead if this has already been answered, but does "improving the groundings" mean an installation of a grounding kit?

    yes, and it also helps your entire car, not just your headlights.

    I have narvas.

    Last time I checked, mas mura ng konti ang osram all-weathers. (the ones in the box, not the plastic case)

    Aside from the packaging, whats the difference? I mean, I saw a Philips 90/something bulb in a cardboard box selling for a lot less than a 60/55 philips bulb in the plastic case. The plastic case bulb is not a HID.

    I have no idea. If I wasn't deadset on getting the narvas, I would have gotten those osrams. Both were 60/55's and they really looked similar - yellow output, with that purple tinge on the bulbs.
