I know you don;'t get as much light from the blue bulbs as regular, but I am pleased with the LEDs on the licence plate but not feeling the low beam/DRLs that use H11. And yes, I know there is a mod to go to H9, but I'd like to stay stock. Anyone care to recommend some 4-5000K white bulbs? Phillips? Sylvania? PIA? Or???

 

I run these in my corolla love them , they are so bright . Sylvania SilverStar® ULTRA

 

Sylvanias!!

 

Don't know if you get this brand over the pond but I always used Osram Nightbreaker when upgrading any bulbs on previous cars. Nice white light and a lot brighter than the standard installed ones.

 

Thanks folks! Too bad they are $60 CAD/pair though. BTW, Sylvania and Osram are the same company.

 

Wow that's quite expensive.
They are around £23 here ($43CAD).

 

Does amazon charge that much more for you up there ? I get them for 33$usd with free shipping . even less on fleabay 24.99$ or best offer I'd offer like 22.50$ and they should take it .

 

While there are some deals on Amazon.ca there is the warranty thing since by all accounts these bulbs don't seem to last the covered one year. So unless Sylvania will mail out free replacements, the return shipping will eat up any savings, hence buying local (Canadian Tire or WalMart)

 

Never had any lifespan issues with any of the Osrams.

 

5 years and counting running the ultra's in my corolla and they are on all the time the car is running DRL and low beam . If that helps you make a choice

 

Thanks gang! Probably worth a shot. FleaBay here I come!!

 

get the European Osram Silverstars (not that blue-tinted B.S. we get in North America) ...

they were great in my Legacy GT, but they only lasted about 4 months. i can't blame the bulbs completely, though - that car's projectors apparently got too hot and ate bulbs. you'll see many '05-'08 Legacy's with one burnt-out headlight.

they probably won't last as long as your cheaper standard bulb, though, but will be brighter and whiter.

 

I love these. Had them in my Mazda.
