I would only buy a set of projectors with a 9005 high beam bulb because you can replace a 9005 with a 9011 HIR. The 9011 HIR puts out 3,000 lumens as opposed to our stock 9007 at 1,350 lumens.

At this point, I'm going to order a set of Philips Xtreme Xenon +80 bulbs. They put out 2,100 lumens vsw. stock 1,350. (There are other, similarly named bulbs - make sure you get the name correct.)

Both the Philips Xtreme Xenon +80 9007 and the 9011HIR substitute for a 9005 are 100% legal and run at standard watts so your wiring won't fry.

These guys are Hella master distributors and the owner campaigns rally cars. They know lights
That link is totally useless for our cars!
