What is the best replacement headlight bulbs for 2012 countryman s. Is one brand better than another, sylvania, piaa, Philip's, ge, for longevity, brightness ?

 

I've always been happy with silverstar ... available at any decent parts store and wally world

note I did NOT say BEST ...... these are the only ones I've used and I've been happy with the improvement.

Today many folks want LED

I suggest doing some research b4 jumping on the first LED you see

 

Has anyone tried any of these led replacement with good results ? Not blinding oncoming cars ?

ive also tries the silverstar but would like to try led if they r brighter

 

Don't most of these cars have HIDs?

 

Hit or miss. A lot dont. Ours doesnt.

 

Point being.... The OP should probably state what type of lights he has before taking on suggestions.

 

I have 2012 all 4 with the reflector headlight using old type halogen bulbs, looking for options of plug and play better/stronger light output

 

Check out ECSTuning for some options.

Aiming can be critical-

These halogen bulbs are recommended by Daniel Stern -

 

Those Phillips bulbs look good! One thing about LED's is they put out a lot of heat...just look at the size of the heat sinks on the back of a MINI lighting assembly with LED's. I'd be wary of swapping to LED's if the car didn't come with them.

 

Yep, we have them here for the R60/ R61, Halogen and factory Xenon set ups. If you want to upgrade,. And have projectors with focused light.
