Cooper low beam bulb?

Our coopers front driver side low beam went out last night. What type of bulb is it and are there any popular inexpensive upgrades that I need to look at? I figure I'll replace both while I'm ordering bulbs...

Thanks,
Ben

www.powerbulbs.co.uk & get yourself some Osram Silverstars. Better than the tinted Sylvania Silverstar version

I use the white Sylvania Silverstars. They are between $14 and $20 a bulb. I know lots of people like the Osrams, but I can't get them locally, and don't want to wait for one to be shipped when I blow a bulb. They are nice and bright, but just don't touch the bulb while installing it...it will dramatically shorten the life of the bulb (I'm sure there is a thread that explains the best way to replace a headlight bulb here on NAM).

That's why when you currently have good bulbs-- you pick up a spare set.

Plus, with powerbulbs, shipping is free AND they give you bonus things.. such as a set of Phillips BlueVision W5W bulbs.
