I also just replaced my low beam for the fourth time in 22,000 miles. When the original blew, I bought four Sylvania Silverstar Ultra H7 bulbs, which were about $20 a piece. I replaced both high and low beam with them. Now I've used the last one, and I've had it with this annoyance. The fine print on the packaging says lifespan is 340 hours. Hah! They don't last close to that, and no I do not touch the glass when installing them.
Last night I ordered replacement LEDs by ODX: H7 V3 3000 LUMENS for the low beam $64.00, and H7 S6 SERIES 6000 Lumens for the high beam $71.00. They are small, and will supposedly fit with no mods. Claimed lifespan is 30,000 hours. The specs are at website http://odx.ca, and I ordered them from https://shopping.shadetreepowersports.com/.
Yes, I know there are many who say LEDs cannot be used in a reflector designed for halogen, because you will blind oncoming traffic. We'll see. The website claims that simply by rotating the bulb (it rotates within its mount) you can adjust the beam correctly. I'll let you know how it goes.
