Philips LongerLife replacement mini bulbs are for drivers who want the best value for their money. Thanks to their filament design and gas fill mixture, these LongerLife miniature bulbs last longer than standard incandescent miniature bulbs.

Review: Great quality at a great price - I have a 2007 VW Beetle and had the tail light go out on me. This was the best price on a replacement bulb and so I ordered it. Shipping was fast and the bulb and packaging was outstanding. In a matter of a few minutes, I was back on the road again and no longer worried about getting an expensive ticket for my inoperative tail light.
Review: 2015 Jeep Renegade Latitude...perfect! - Bought at night and received next day and way cheaper than at any store. It fit perfectly and worked. Now, lets see how long it'll last but most reviewers say it last a while.
