FR-S headlight bulbs?
 
my 86/FR-S is on order...but buying some new schwag so I can mod before I even leave the dealer lot.

im coming from a toyota tacoma 4x4 so as far as lighting goes we slapped some big ol light force 240's on her.

what is the difference between and H11 and a 9005 bulb?

Ive seen some threads here one fella says 9005 another says H11...

thanks in advance

FRS uses H11 for lowbeams

and 9005 for DRL and highbeams

Nokya, Philips, MTEC and PIAA makes great looking halogen bulbs if you want to stick to halogens. You will not notice a great difference in improving visibility as super white halogen bulbs are replacements that offer whiter colour output, but not necessarily better visibility at night.

Beware that some replacement halogens are draw more power, eg. factory bulb is 55w and replacement bulbs draw 110w. This presents a risk of overheating, thereby melting the factory harness and connector, which can be costly to repair and replace. If you are shopping for halogens, I would urge you to stick with ones that have the same wattage rating as the factory bulbs. You can find the factory bulb specs in your owner's manual.

Good luck =)
