Published 2023-10-31
In our latest YouTube video, we compare H8, H9, and H11 halogen bulbs to their LED replacements, focusing on the universal H11 LED's versatility to replace all three. We dissect the similarities in rubber collars, metal tabs, and wiring while highlighting the differences in brightness and compatibility between H8 (35W, for fog lights), H11 (55W, for headlights), and H9 (65W, for high beams) halogen bulbs due to varying tab sizes and positions. We've rigorously tested various LED options to provide you with the ultimate choices for your vehicle, whether you're upgrading fog lights, headlights, or high beams.

Note: This video is for educational purposes only and may show street-use content with products that may not be DOT-compliant for use on public roads. The video is not intended to imply vehicle-specific street legality. LED and HID bulbs are street legal in the USA for fog light use and not in low beam or high beam headlights because they are not compliant with DOT / FMVSS108. When looking for on-road-use headlight upgrades we recommend DOT-compliant headlight housings, not bulb replacements. Certain specialty vehicles strictly limited to off-street use and not having DOT registration or license plates may use these products exclusively off-streets.

Been running H9 in lieu of H11 since one of my Morimoto 2 Strokes burnt out. Vey impressed with the output and itās lasted as long as Iāve had 2 Strokes. Finally upgraded to H11 Xtreme LED pros because of the fan less option. It was truly the best bang for your buck. š

Any chance you guys could revisit D1S Led bulbs? Theyāre all over the internet now and a lot of plug & play options. Iād love to get your updated opinion before I decide to give them a try over my current osrams.

My 2015 Dodge Dart GT has 2012 headlights and H11 foglights. I currently run Osram 9006 Night Breaker Online headlights and H11 Night Breaker laser foglights. I've heard 9012 are brighter but have yet to find a light brighter than my Osrams.

Could you please make a video for H7 vs H8 bulbs and which brand gives better brightness. Thanks

but if you put a more powerful (65w) bulb instead of a 35w bulb won't damage something in that light housing (like the inner part of it,the reflective mirror)?

You nailed it ! Thanks alot

I currently use a Toyota Camry 2006 Model America Spec..please I'd like to know the following: 1: What is the best Head Light Bulb Brand or top 3/5 head light bulb brand 2: When I drive at night, my car light bulb is never bright, do I change the entire head light housing or just the bulb? What do I do? 3: My car head light housing is dull and the front glass is dull, does this affect the light brightness? Please what do I do? Do I change the entire house
-
Are H11, H9 and H8 the same? Yes, H11, H9, and H8 are the same bulbs they just carry different part numbers, positions, and default wattages for standard halogen bulb replacements. Aside from these minor differences, all three are identical on every other front from size and shape to locking tabs and connectors

I have a 2020 Nissan rogue, I need to buy the low and high beam headlight bulbs LED (set of 4)my question:; is there a difference between the high and low beam bulbs, I know that the brightness is normally different between them, but is it because the bulb itself is more powerful and brighter, or it is the shape of the light housing itself is what makes the light brighter when it reflects. Anyone knows? Thanks
