2016 Trail - Are Phillips CyrstalVision Ultra headlights worth it?

[jayhat]

Bought these for my 10 SR5 that I just sold. Wondering if they're a worthwhile upgrade for a 16 trail? I can still return to amazon, so I am wondering if I should. I also bought some fogs for my 10 that I don't think will work for the 16 (h11s).

That's a toss up.
They will appear a little whiter, and maybe just a little bit brighter.

Putting the H11 bulbs in your fogs may cause you to burn your lens.
They are hotter than the OEM fog bulbs.

YMMV

I have those in my fog right now, whiter but I don't think any brighter. But I have a 2011 so not sure how helpful...

H11 Xtreme HID 5000K Digital Conversion Kit. It's the best upgrade IMO and no, I do not get the high beams thrown at me from oncoming traffic. I've had them for 4 years and no problems at all.

Good to know. The H11's are what the 10-13's took (maybe a lower wattage bulb than a headlight bulb tho). My 16 takes a H16, and the only one Phillips shows as making is this spendy little bastard.

The H11 are a higher lumens, no matter where you place the and run12-13.4V.
Your 10-13's had a different fixture and lens.

Ive never been happy with tinted bulbs... always ended up going to something else and tossing them.

How?!?! I aimed my headlights as far down as they would go after the HID 'upgrade' and still get flashed about once a day.
