replacement bulbs for peterbilt 387

I hear the Sylvania brand are bright, but they do not last very long?

Costly too.

Buy what you need, and give them the receipt.

If they do not reimburse you?

Remove them when you leave?

 

funny how oems can charge 150k for a truck with headlites that arnt worth a tinkers dam ... every volvo vnl iv had been the same way as your 387 .

 

My eye specialist had told me years ago, the yellow or blue light makes no difference in our viewing, over clear bulbs.

As a matter of fact, please refer to the "green book" regarding lights. Clear or white for headlights, amber for front lights (blinker, clearance), red for rear lights (amber for turn signals). Those truckers with say, green clearance lights? Can be written up for improper light colorings.

 

The 'blue' bulbs with dot ratings qualify as white, under the law. If you read the label (or maybe it's on the insert,) on any of the name brand "blue" bulbs you'll see the language stating so.

 

Goes to show you, that even the expensive brands can be trash. If you have a "company spec'd truck", then you have a generic Pete. If you however were to have an "o/o spec'd truck", you might have a better built one at that. The assembly line is just that for "company truck spec's".

The o/o truck is built partly on the line, then diverted to another area for the accessories to be installed. No assembly line can do in quick time, what the off line people can do.

 

And I'm not sure which bulb those use, but if you buy the higher wattage 'off-road' bulbs, it may help. Always the first thing I've done on motorcycles, replaced the 35/55 with a 55/100.
