These are decent but the best bang for your buck are katanas. Sub $50 and on par with the $90 Hikari

im currently using Hikari led 9600 lm 6k... for both high beam and low beam.
for its price... cant beat it.
sure, hid kit are much brighter... i ran a few of them on my previous cars.
had many problems with a lot of flickering and discoloration. headaches.

if you want brighter led... try Hikari led 12000 lm 6k...

but other than that... i bought 5 sets of Hikari led 9600 lm 6k for several cars...
not one problem yet. and sure 100x better than halogen bulbs.

I went with morimoto HIDs for the low beam since we have projectors, but I just put Hikari 6000k LEDs in the fogs! Perfect color match with the DRLs

I love them. I have the more expensive hikari's in my low beams and the one's mentioned in the original post of this thread in my high beams and fog lights.

My wife has an '18 EX hatchback with the OEM halogens in them. We have been trying to drive her car more if we go out for dinner or whatever (keep miles off mine, I put premium gas in mine since ktuner, help with oil dilution since most of her trips are short) and it's really such a difference between my LED's. You won't regret it.

I also swapped out my interior bulbs and reverse lights with Auxito LED's which are very nice

Did you have to adjust the bulbs in the low beam housing ?

I just have them installed so that the bulb is perpendicular to the ground, like this: ( I ) rather than like this: ( -- )

From what I remember, once I had them seated all the way in the housing, there wasn't much adjustment that I had to do. The fogs and high beams were a bit of a different story since those are reflector housings instead of the projector housing of the low beam. Still not terrible but took a little fine tuning to get right.

Is it my imagination, or is it the same bulb for low beams and fogs?
H11 (H8, H9) designation leads me to believe that they are.
