What is the original headlight bulb for the 2016 Emgrand GS?

Geely Emgrand GS uses HB3 dual-function bulbs for its high and low beams, with a power rating of 60W. Automotive headlights: Also known as car headlamps or LED daytime running lights, they serve as the "eyes" of a vehicle. They not only affect the owner's external image but are also crucial for safe driving at night or in adverse weather conditions. Halogen headlights: Among automotive headlights, laser headlights are the brightest, followed by xenon and LED lights, with halogen being the dimmest. A 55W halogen bulb produces about 1000 lumens, and despite being a mature technology, there's little room for improvement in brightness. A typical 35W xenon lamp produces around 3500 lumens, approximately 100 lumens per watt. A standard 35W LED light produces about 3200 lumens, roughly 91 lumens per watt. Laser headlights, with 170 lumens per watt, are the brightest car lights available. The above figures represent general industry standards.
I've been running an auto repair shop for many years and have serviced numerous Emgrand GS 2016 models. The factory headlight bulbs are H7 halogen type, offering moderate brightness but prone to burning out, with a lifespan of about one year. I remember owners often complaining about insufficient illumination during night driving. When replacing the bulbs yourself, you must carefully observe the electrode polarity - if reversed, the light won't turn on. H7 bulbs are inexpensive and widely available, costing just tens of yuan at auto parts stores. However, upgrading to LED lights provides brighter illumination but requires checking circuit compatibility. Careless upgrades may lead to blown fuses or scattered light patterns, compromising safety. Regularly replacing bulbs ensures clear nighttime visibility, reduces accident risks, and gives drivers more confidence on the road.
I am the owner of a 2016 Emgrand GS. The original headlights used H7 halogen bulbs, and I replaced them myself after two years of use. The operation was not difficult: open the hood, unscrew the fixing screws of the lamp cover, and then install the new bulb. I bought a Philips H7 model on Taobao for just over 30 yuan. The brightness of the bulb is sufficient for daily use, but upgrading to LED provides a wider field of vision. Be careful not to touch the bulb when it's hot to avoid burning your hands. Keeping the lights in good condition ensures you don't panic when driving at night, especially in rainy or foggy weather. Bright lights are a safety guarantee. Once, during a night drive on the highway, I relied entirely on the headlights to avoid a dangerous situation.
