Headlight bulb replacement

I did this in sub category but got no answer so let me try here. Looking to see if anyone changed out the H11 and 9005 bulbs to either the Cree or opt7 led plasma bulbs. In either the white 6000k or blue 10000k and what are your thoughts on both.

in short, don't use LED bulbs in the stock projectors. IF you really really want to use LED bulbs you will need to retrofit projectors. Current consensus seems to be that at this time HIDs are superior and easier to install.

For low beam driving lights, we recommend HID setup.

For the DRLs/high beams, you will have a number of options, including halogen replacement bulbs, LED bulbs, and HIDs. It would depend on what's the most important for you (ie. cosmetic, much brighter output than the factory bulbs, etc.)

If you have any questions, feel free to send us a private message or email and we will be happy to assist you.
