+1 for philips

this is what i bought a couple of months ago when my GS300 (2001) HID bulb burnt out

i didnt know they make HID in H11 standard though
at least not OEM ones

you are probably looking at made in taiwan bulbs if H11 HID is what you need

Cool. That was my question since I'm going with aftermarket HID. It might be cheaper to just replace the kit if the bulbs ever blow.

Beware. There are a lot of fake Philip hid kit. I know it can be a headache if your bulbs ever go out but it's a simple replacement with aftermarket. If your ballast go then that's a pain in the ***.
