Hey everyone, I’m having a tough time deciding on the best H4 headlight bulb for my 2007 Toyota Camry. I’m looking for something with great brightness and longevity, ideally road legal in the UK. Any recommendations or brands to avoid? Thanks!

    For a 2007 Toyota Camry looking for an H4 headlight bulb that balances great brightness, longevity, and road legality in the UK, some strong recommendations come up.

    Popular trusted brands include Osram, Philips, and Lucas. Osram Ultra Life bulbs are known for their durability, lasting up to four times longer than standard halogens, with good brightness and a modern silver cap design. They come with a 4-year guarantee and are road legal, ideal if longevity is a priority.

    For brightness, Philips RacingVision GT200 bulbs offer a sharper, more powerful light with good visibility but might have a shorter lifespan. Philips WhiteVision ultra bulbs provide brighter white light while maintaining road legality and good safety, giving a contemporary look without dazzling other drivers.

    Lucas bulbs are often recommended as a budget-friendly option with decent brightness and lifespan, suitable if cost is a factor.

    Avoid bulbs that push power beyond the standard 60/55W for H4 as these can be illegal, potentially damage reflectors, and have dramatically shorter lifespans. Many highly advertised LED or xenon-effect bulbs may not be road legal in the UK either, so it's best to stick with well-known halogen brands that clearly state UK compliance.

    In summary, Osram Ultra Life for long-lasting reliability, Philips RacingVision for brightness, and Lucas for budget are dependable choices. Make sure any bulb chosen is ECE-approved for UK roads to avoid legal issues and safety concerns.

    Cheers and safe driving with your Camry’s new lights!

    To choose the best H4 bulb for your 2007 Toyota Camry in the UK, you should focus on high-performance halogen bulbs that are ECE-rated (road legal).
    The most reliable and bright options are offered by two leading brands:
    1. Philips: Choose the X-tremeVision Pro150 or RacingVision GT200 series.
    These bulbs provide up to +150% or +200% more light than a standard bulb.
    The Pro150 typically provides the best balance between high brightness and acceptable lifespan.
    2. Osram: Choose the Night Breaker 200 or Night Breaker Laser series.
    They also provide up to +200% more brightness.
    An important tradeoff: Bulbs with maximum brightness (+150% and above) have a shorter lifespan than standard bulbs (you may need to replace them every 12-18 months).

    What to avoid:
    - Cheap/no-name bulbs: They often have a poor beam pattern and burn out quickly.
    - LED or HID (xenon) kits: Installing these kits into your standard halogen reflector is illegal in the UK and will blind oncoming drivers.

    Recommendation: For the best combination of brightness, quality, and life, choose the Philips X-tremeVision Pro150 or Osram Night Breaker 200.
