Hummer H2 For those who like a little more gleam to their Hummer, the H2 offers a similar rugged look as the H1, but as a lower cost, and with more added features, making it almost a massive luxury SUV.

Default Headlight upgrade

Hi can anyone recommend any good headlight upgrades for an 05 Hummer H2. I don't know if the lights on ebay are any good.

I have led headlights from eBay, and I am happy with them.

Make sure whatever ones you buy have an adjustable light pattern otherwise you might end up with lighting worse then the standard Halogens not to mention blinding oncoming traffic!

This applies to sticking LED bulbs in the stock halogen housings which is a terrible idea. No matter how much you adjust them, they still will have tons of scatter blinding everyone else, even moreso due to how high our lights are. 99.9% of them cannot even be legally sold as "headlight" bulbs which is why they almost all say for fog lights of "offroad use only" now.

The only decent option is actual full led housings like shown on the video above and even then, the majority are utter garbage. There are some good ones though and I do think that at least one company makes a 7" housing that has a HID projector lens inside, those are probably decent too.

Sylvania Zevo bulbs LED in headlights and driving lights. Work great. Bulbs only. Keep your stock housings!

Bulbfacts offers some very in-depth reviews of this type of bulb and lets you decide for yourself based on cost breakdown. They have the beam pattern along with candle power listed for each bulb so you can see the pattern and decide for yourself how much you want to spend.

for the sets I've purchased based on their reviews the pattern has been very close to what they show.

I've purchased based on their reviews and have not been disappointed to date.
