Your car uses common automotive bulbs are you looking to upgrade? This shows all the bulbs in your car, not endorsing the site (don't like their products) but it shows the various bulbs your car has

Or are you looking for replacement lamps meaning the entire housings?

You want to keep your headlight housings and just replace the bulbs. They are designed to work best with whatever type of bulb came with them from the factory, HID or halogen. It is actually cost prohibitive to replace them. If you put LED bulbs in you will have worse night vision. It is known that headlight bulbs fade and lose brightness over time. Even new stock bulbs will be brighter than what you have now.
Check out this other bulb site as they are a supporter of CL, I have bought from them.

If your headlight housings have yellowed, there are kits to clean up the lenses. Many are on Amazon, or your local auto parts store or Wal-Mart. I used the 3M kit that requires using a battery drill to polish the lenses. I then final coated them with Mequire's spray clear UV headlight coating.

Default Can I use an H11 low beam in my 2008 ES 350?

My driver side is out. Can I use aftermarket H11?

Sure but best to replace both at the same time.
