I have a set of Pilot driving lamps (rectangular though) on my '95. They
work great. One burned out ( after 5 months) and I replaced it with a Pilot
bulb for $10. The the other burnt out and I located a good source of Hella
bulbs that are an exact fit and every bit as bright . The price of the
Hella bulbs?? $4 each! Needless to say, I bought three to keep in the truck
as spares. And the Hellas have lasted longer than the Pilot bulbs by far.
