which H11 replacement bulb
Can we get a consensus and a sticky as to which is the best/brightest H11 bulb that fits in the FRS/BRZ that has the correct voltage and amperage to not blow after 1-2 months.

plug and play HID kits will be the brightest you can get without melting your wires or headlight housings...

NO
explain to me how you can possibly confuse a request for the best H11 bulb with an HID kit?

it's important to never touch the bulb with your bare fingers, always use latex gloves, the oil's on your fingers can create a hot spot on the bulb and can actually cause the bulb to fail prematurely or burst while on Last edited by jjdrivesajazz; 07-17-2012 at 08:44 PM. |

I have the sylvania ZXE's they are pretty nice so far. Not sure how long they will last though. Hopefully at least a year

i didn't confuse the two... i would go with the HID kit only because they are brighter, and plug and play, but if u must have an actual bulb rather than a conversion kit, then i would suggest sylvania silverstars as previously mentioned... or piaa extreme white plus bulbs if u got a bit more money...

As much as pnp hids are frowned upon here, I still love my hid kit.
Sure a proper retrofit is probably the better route. But I still enjoy mines over stock

you may enjoy it, every single other motorist does not, and if it wasnt for tort law i'd carry a baseball bat in my car and smash every single fake-hid car i see.

unless maybe you're driving a go-kart and what, you're retaliation then is to put in even more blinding lights? Should have just bought a subaru with OEM HIDs.
