The H11 bulb is a single-beam halogen lighting standard engineered for low-beam headlights and front fog lights across modern passenger vehicles. It operates on a 12V DC electrical system, uses a PGJ19-2 twist-lock plastic base that ensures a secure twist-lock installation and is rated at 55W OEM power, drawing approximately 4.6A during steady operation, but LED and HID H11 bulbs often have larger rear profiles due to heat sinks, fans, or igniters. Housing depth and dust-cap clearance must be verified before upgrading. In factory halogen form, H11 bulbs produce ~1250–1350 lumens at ~3200K, delivering a warm white output suitable for urban driving and adverse weather.
Because the H11 socket is used in both projector and reflector housings, bulb alignment, focal accuracy, and thermal management are critical. The beam cutoff, glare control, and forward spread are defined entirely by the headlight or fog light housing, while the bulb determines lumen output, color temperature, and electrical behavior. This makes H11 one of the most upgrade-sensitive bulb types, especially when transitioning from halogen to LED or HID technologies, to ensure smooth installation follow our simple h11 bulbs installation guide.
Key LED attributes include:
- 6000K white color temperature for daylight-matched clarity
- 3000K yellow variants for reduced backscatter in fog and rain
- Lower power fluctuation than halogen or HID
- Integrated CANbus load management to prevent bulb-out warnings
This Underground Lighting collection includes H11 LED headlight bulbs, H11 LED fog light bulbs, H11 HID replacement bulbs, and complete H11 HID CANbus conversion kits, covering output levels from 2000 lumens to 12,000 lumens per pair—representing a 1.5× to 9× brightness increase over standard halogen H11 bulbs.

1. H11 LED Headlight Kit – 60W 12000LM CANbus (PAIR)
This high-output H11 LED headlight kit produces up to 12,000 lumens per pair using solid-state LED emitters operating via electroluminescence at a semiconductor p-n junction.
Rated at 60W system power, it delivers instant full brightness (0-second warm-up) and maintains stable output under voltage fluctuation.
Key attributes:
2. H11 HID CANbus Kit – 35W Error & Flicker Free (PAIR)
The H11 HID conversion kit upgrades halogen systems to xenon HID technology, producing ~3700 lumens per pair at 35W. Light is generated through an electric arc in xenon gas, initiated by an igniter pulse up to ~23,000V and sustained at ~85V AC via the ballast.
Available color temperatures:
3000K yellow | 6000K white | 8000K white/blue | 10000K blue
Integrated CANbus circuitry prevents dashboard warnings, flicker, and bulb-out errors, especially in 2007+ vehicles.
3. H11 HID Replacement Bulbs – 3700 Lumens (PAIR)
These H11 HID replacement bulbs are intended for existing H11 HID systems and require a compatible ballast. When powered correctly, they deliver ~3700 lumens per pair, offering longer beam throw than halogen while maintaining stable arc output.
Color options range from 3000K yellow (fog performance) to 6000K neutral white and higher-Kelvin blue variants for styling builds.
Frequently paired with Xenon HID Replacement Bulbs collections.
4. H11 LED Fog Light Bulbs – Yellow 3200LM (PAIR)
These H11 yellow LED fog light bulbs emit ~3200 lumens per pair at 3000K–3200K, a wavelength proven to reduce short-wave light scatter in fog, rain, and snow.
Designed for low-mounted fog housings, they improve lane-edge visibility and surface contrast rather than distance projection.
5. H11 White LED Fog Light Bulbs – 2000LM CSP (PAIR)
Using CSP (Chip-Scale Package) LED technology, these H11 LED fog bulbs produce ~2000 lumens per pair at 6000K white. Their compact thermal footprint supports tight fog housings where larger heat sinks or fans may not fit.
