Default Philips LED headlights

Hey guys, has anyone installed Philips LED fog lamps into the main headlight? They come in H11.

didn't install phillips brand but the LEDs are worth it IMO, those seem a little expensive compared to some others you can find on ebay or amazon

I don't think I'd use those for the low beams, the light output isn't all that. They work good for foglights, but I wouldn't want them in my headlights.

I've used the LEDs for low beam, high beam and fogs and they were better than the halogens for sure, but they are not as bright as HIDs. I would find a pair that lists the lumen output though before you buy anything

The stock bulbs output about 1200 lm +/-. Those Philips LED's only output 700 lm.

I wouldn't recommend them for use in low beam applications, get something brighter.
