HELLA H11 2.0TB Twin Blister Kit High Performance Bulb, 12V, 55W, 2 Pack

Car manufacturers typically install long-life headlight bulbs, because they don't want them failing under warranty. The downside to long-life bulbs is they have a lower light output than even standard bulbs. My ten-year-old Toyota still had the factory-fitted H11 bulbs installed. In my experience with both a Toyota and a Hyundai, H11 headlights are below average in performance. I found driving on two-lane country roads at night, especially if it was raining, borderline dangerous with my old bulbs. After I installed these Hella H11 2.0TB bulbs, the difference was like night and day. The colour output is whiter, but most importantly, the light output is much greater than the original bulbs. I've only had the bulbs installed for a couple of weeks, so can't comment on their lifespan.

I find these comparable to the GE NightHawk Platinum bulbs. These might be just slightly whiter. I would expect 2.5-3 years of life out of these. These are not as white as the mostly illegal LEDs sold on Amazon that people use on the road anyway nor are they as white as HIDs. They are not going to be since these are halogen, but they work well in halogen headlight reflector housings with clean lenses designed for halogen bulbs. The light is white with just a slight hint of yellow and shines far down the road. The color is great for snow, rain, and fog whereas super white LEDs look like you are at hyperspace on the Millennium Falcon.

Good price, but they only lasted 1 year and 35,000 miles.

After 6 years of use, the original equipment driver's side low beam headlight bulb (H11 Osram brand) gave up the ghost in my 2017 Ford Transit Connect. I did not want to "upgrade" to LED lights which are not supposedly road legal, so I decided to buy these two Hella H11 bulbs and replace both the driver's side and passenger side low beam bulbs to make sure the light output was equal on both sides. I ordered them at 10:00 P.M., they were delivered at 12:45 A.M. the next day, and it took just 20 minutes to replace both old bulbs with the new Hella bulbs. I have had prior good experience with Hella products, and these were certainly priced competitively with other reliable brands (Phillips, Sylvania). Installation in this vehicle was easy and required no tools, just a bit tricky aligning the tabs on the bulb in the light housing, as you cannot see directly but must do so by feel. These replacement Hella bulbs seem notably brighter and whiter than the old Osram bulbs they replaced. I don't know at this point how long these Hella bulbs will last, just have to find that out eventually. When it comes time to replace the high beam headlight bulbs, I will certainly consider the Hella brand again.

They are not a white light but do really light the road up more so than the OEM

Not brighter than OEM halogen bulb as advertised. The same brightness. Not brighter. Good if you are looking for same OEM bulb’s brightness. In the picture, the passenger side is the Hella bulb and the driver side is the OEM Honda Civic bulb. No difference at all.

These bulbs are brighter han the standard OSRAM or other brands standard bulbs. But there is a problem in that the color temperature should be at least 4700 and these are 4300. the color is too yellow. I don;t like white/into blue as this is harder to see in. A 5000 is about right. So 4300 was the least useful color. It also makes your car look old. So they are not a good choice in my opinion. I opted for 20000 lumen (really 10000 a bulb and exaggerated probably) LED bulbs and their color is better but the single LED makes for a funny light pattern. One of these days I'll find the right one as the off brands have not really lasted that long either. Hella makes top quality everything. I just want more lumens than they are delivering and a whiter color.

This is the third time that the headlamps on my car failed. The first time I bought Sylvania bulbs at an auto parts store. They died too and as a result I went and bought Autoone led units on Amazon. They were sold as lasting 50,000 hours which is not true, it is an awkward job getting to the bulbs on my car and I thought that buying led bulbs was a permanent fix Both died and so I bought these. They're made in Korea, should be a better quality
