stock headlights (2011)
Can someone please tell me specifically what brand of headlights come stock on the 2011 CT 200h. I need to replace one low beam and one fog lamp. I know the size from the manual, but I want to match the remaining lights I have perfectly. Thanks!

since they are most likely halogen bulbs, they will dim over time no?
in that case, its always best that you replace halogens in pairs so the brightness on both sides are the same. if you do exactly what you stated, there is no way you will get it to an exact match since one side is brand new, and the other side is old and dimmer
or move one of the working lights to the other working light, and see if they match in brightness. chances are, if you turn on both low beams and fog lights at the same time, they should be close enough. and then use a new pair for the empty pair
just my 2 cents

That makes sense about dimming. Can you tell me what brand or a link to buy the right halogen bulbs? It seems like there are a bunch of different color temperatures, but I like the stock ones and want something comparable. Thanks again.

In looking at the Sylvania bulbs you linked to, there are 4 different products that fit my car. Let me rephrase my original question: which Sylvania bulbs specifically come stock on a 2011 CT 200h? I cannot find any reference to that anywhere. Thanks.

I can't specifically speak for 2011, but I just looked at my 2013 and the details are actually printed at the bottom of the bulb.
OSRAM 64211 L+ 55W 12V

If you need more clarification...
Now if you used my link earlier, you'd probably end up here...
https://www.sylvania.com/en-us/appli...partnumber=H11
...and if you still don't get it, here's a hint (it's the CHEAPEST ONE).

i always wonder.... i wanna make my headlights a bit whiter. cant go HID because i dont wanna burn the housing, and LEDs are not that reliable yet (i tried, learned the hard way)
so i was thinking of going for philips extreme vision. provided that i do not touch the bulbs with my fingers, will they last just as long as the cheap stock bulbs?

you know the usual stock OEM HID runs at 35W and those halogen bulbs run at 55w
as long as you don't go crazy with the 50w+ HID, you should be fine
