SYLVANIA - H11 (64211) SilverStar zXe GOLD High Performance Halogen Headlight Bulb - Headlight & Fog Light

I have used these bulbs in my car low beams for a few years now. I find them brighter at night than the original halogen bulbs and they look nice and white, due to the blue filters built into the quartz bulb envelope.

Honestly, if these weren't on sale, I would have considered buying something else. Given the fact that they retail at $60 normally at your local auto parts store of choice, these are a really hard sale for someone like me who's on a budget. I was perfectly content with running XtraVisions for the long run because they are simply the best bang for the buck. I drive for Uber and I'm out at night pretty frequently. One of my biggest concerns was not only better night vision on dark roads with limited to no street lights, but also "presence" to other drivers and pedestrians. Xtravisions don't particularly get you noticed because of the yellow-white beam that looks stock and the fact that they aren't terribly brighter than stock. However, SilverStar zXe bulbs will. I admit, I was skeptical because the bulb wattage was standard and there is something about "blue" tinted bulbs for "white" white that bugs me to no end. While they look great, they are completely useless in the rain and they aren't all that brighter. Especially ones that are supposedly high wattage (HiPro Power). These though? Fantastic. During the day and early evening, yeah, they are definitely white, but with a very, very slight tinge of yellow. This is completely expected of halogens. Driving in a parking garage and driving as it started to get darker? Oh, yeah. These are crisp white and seriously much brighter than XtraVisions. The light output is amazing, the beams aren't blinding, and the overall look and presence are definitely what I was looking for in bulbs. Granted, they are not HIDs but they give off the look of 4300K bulbs and are pretty bright regardless. I've had them for a few days and so far so good. Yet to see how long they last. I'm not expecting miracles because I drive a lot, but, I'll definitely purchase these in the future! So far a better experience than I've had with PIAA bulbs (two duds in a row).

Fitted to 2021 Tiguan, Fog Lights. Stock are 35W H8, had to trim housing to fit H11. If you're doing the same, keep an eye on the connector to ensure it won't melt. Also, only use in inclement weather.

Arrived in perfect condition, which was a miracle given that the blister pack was shipped in a bubble plastic envelope. Fault on the shipper for that (thank you, "shipped and fullfilled by Amazon") but the bulbs are excellent quality and have been my go-to for years (2010 Volvo S40)

To be clear, this is not the sellers fault this is Amazon's fault for claiming it would fit my vehicle and my fault for trusting it. This will not fit a 2014 Honda CRV. And Amazon's "AI" return wont allow me to mark this as an incompatibility issue for the return as it keeps freezing on the question and wont allow me to progress. Instead I had to mark it as an ordering issue which is incorrect.
