Headlight bulb - H11 vs H13

[bcbickers]

Almost 30 day update. I'm a little disappointed. I was hoping for some sort of increase in viewing distance. However, it's not really any better than the halogen bulbs. The 6000k color maybe adds some clarity, but I can't see any farther down the road than with the halogens. My expectations were probably too high for a simple bulb change. I wasn't expecting HID performance, but I did think they would light up the road ahead a little brighter and a little farther. IMO the only benefit, other than the color, is bulb longevity. Considering the relative difficulty with changing our bulbs, that's a win at least.

HID's work pretty well in the stock housings, just don't put them in the stock fog housings...... because there is not enough air gap inside the little fog housing so they melt the housing.
