Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at the Sylvania Basic 9003 Halogen Headlight Bulb. Now, this bulb is going to replace your standard equipment daytime running headlight halogen bulb with the same grade and specifications. As I mentioned, this is bulb type 9003. This is also going to fit H4, and the shape is T5, and you see I have the base information there for you as well, P43T. And the 3,100 kelvin color temperature is going to give you a pure, more neutral white color than the 2,700 kelvin.
This bulb has a rated average life of about 370 hours, the lumen rating is 910 lumens, and the base is going to give you a simple installation with its male plug fitting. And as you can see, I am wearing gloves. When you're changing your bulbs, you should never touch the glass. You should always wear gloves or use at least a clean shop towel to help reduce the transfer of oils from your skin during installation. This is legal for on-road use and it does meet the Department of Transportation specifications for performance and life, and as you probably know, it is recommended to replace bulbs on both sides of your vehicle to maintain that consistent light level and color.
Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our real quick look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me.
