Good H11 bulb upgrade?

I'm not digging the yellow halogen and HID low beam glow. What are some good white xenon bulbs. Also I'm seeing a whole range of wattage bulbs.. 35,55,80,100. What is the max safe wattage I should run. I'm not looking to burn up any wiring on the car.

Well known companies like PIAA and RAYBRIG are great choices. If your worried about the wattage than just stick with the stock rated wattage and you will be fine.

^^ like he stated, stay with stock wattage. If you dont like the yellow then get white, hyper white, sim hid whatever you want. ^^^ jdmct9mr has a couple nice brands listed. If price is an issue, Nokya sells diff colors, not just yellow. They have a simulated 7k bulb that is very crystal clear with a very slight hint of blue, and not a cheap "cool blue" but it could pass off as hid.

Nokya was the first brand I looked at since I have had good experiences with them. However I was not able to find a bulb that was under 80 watts for the H11. What is the stock wattage? I thought it was like 35 or 55 watts.

i have replaced 2 sets of nokya in less than 6 months, but as soon as i went with PIAA it has lasted me almost 2 years and still no problem. I say pay the extra and go with PIAA.
