OK. So still mucking with this.
I ordered some Chickidy China ones on eBay.
<$3 each delivered. They turned up the other day. Were supposed to be brighter then OEM. By about 60% I think.
No difference when fitted.
The originals were Osram branded. But looked stock. Also the filaments were pretty burnt and white oxidised. So I assume nearing EOL.
I'm starting to wonder about LED's. I don't want to do the shocking mod where you cut a ring hole in the back cover for the ugly fan to hang out of.
I do see many now that look stock size and should fit but don't have the fan.
But they always have the disclaimer of "not suitable as driving / headlights". What's the go?
Otherwise it's looking like back to the Philips +100's as a last ditch effort at around ~$65 currently.
I also have to do the H3 Fog Lights. One has a dead globe. Fitted is 12v H3 55W. But I don't know if that's the factory fitted wattage?
