Headlamp bulb replacements for 2014 Meridian 42E

I currently have the original bulb in my 2014 Itasca Meridian 42E Coach and they are not great. Any recommendations on replacements?

If they are halogen and you want brighter ones you will have to be careful not to exceed the capacity of the existing wiring and sockets. There are kits available to upgrade the wiring and sockets to enable higher wattage lamps but at the same time you need to be careful not to exceed the overall capaity of the circuit.
If it's LED re-lamp you are after be very careful as the LEDs do not work properly with the halogen reflectors and are usually not DOT compliant, even if the China seller says they are, regulation of LED products is non-existent so they can say whatever they want and nobody stops them.
Cheap and LED do not go in the same sentence when it comes to headlights if you want true DOT compliance and not risk yours and other driver's safety. A true DOT compliant LED setup would involve new housings with the correct reflectors, correct lamps and DOT certification.
This is if you want to do it right and not be the jerk blinding oncoming traffic.

If you have H-4 lamps here is an idea that's compliant, and made by Sylvania

Pull one of the bulbs and take it to any decent auto parts store - they can match it with the right replacement. A lot of the bulbs are removed from the back of the fixture by unplugging the wiring connection and twisting the bulb base.
