What is everyone using for headlights? Are you still stock?

I myself are using the the stock Halogen headlights in my mirage. Thinking of some kind of uprade.
What is everyone else using? If stock, are you halogen, or LED? Reflector or projector?

My 2017 Mirage ES manual (manufactured January 2017) still has the factory halogen highlights. I have no intention of replacing them until one dies. I bought the cheapest 9003 Phillips & Sylvania headlights I could find (under $10 each) several years ago. I keep them stored inside my spare tire. When one goes, I plan on replacing both of them at the same time. I plan on comparing the Phillips bulb to the Sylvania bulb to see which one lasts longer. Even today both brands are under $10 each @ Walmart. At this point, I am quite impressed with the 6 year old factory headlight bulbs. I have zero concerns using basic halogen bulbs for my Mirage. Brights are good at night, and the dims do well in fog & during snow storms.

I find the stock halogen headlights are excellent as long as you keep the lenses clean. No need or intentions to upgrade for me.

I upgrade to factory projector and change the bulb with LED.

HOLY CHRIST that heatsink. Is that a factory LED?

[Wallythacker]

That is likely aftermarket.

I use these: fanless and very good light output, good pattern,https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They have a $12 coupon to help
I paid about $32 on sale, in fall 2019 this price inflation on crap is getting tedious.

So I noticed that the Wattage isn't the same as the stock bulb. Does this matter?

[Wallythacker]

Naw, there's never been an issue. I think the Mirage has an overkill 140A alternator.

I have LEDs on both headlight and fogs. Just searched amazon orders and maybe these are what I have on...

I recall someone trying to do that same thing and couldn't find bulbs that worked properly. Are those factory projector lights that were originally hid?
