New OPT7 H11 LED Headlight Bulbs

[geswek]

I just installed the OPT7 9005 high beams in my '14 Silverado. They look extremely bright in the garage. I'll report back after I drive with them in tonight. I'm pretty much sold on the H11 low beams, once I got them adjusted correctly.

 

EDIT: I had the truck out tonight. OH MY GOSH! Those high beams are extremely bright! I really thought with reflector housings they would scatter the light all over the place, but not the case, very bright and well focused; when I was driving down my street they lit up my house like the 4th of July! 5 Stars...

 

I'm also upgrading my rating of the H11 low beams to 4.5 Stars. Now that I have them adjusted 2 full turns up, and both bulbs oriented correctly in the housings, they are getting the job done. (The only reason they are not 5 stars is because they're not as bright as my wife's Acadia HID's... but the high beams make up for it!)

What do you mean by orientate bulbs? Did yours not sit right?

They focused light best when the power cord was at the 6 o'clock position.

 

I'll take some pics tonight.

High beam OPT7's are very bright. They cast a good 150 yards ahead.

Look good! Really wish I knew how well these would work in my 09.

Thinking about pulling the trigger on these.

 

What leds would you all recommend for the fog lights to get a solid match?

 

Thanks for all the info guys!

I bought these on Amazon.

 

Pro's:

The color matches 6000k.

They are very bright.

Install was easy... just a couple minutes per side.

They add more driving light to the LED headlights

 

Con's:

The beam is not focused like OEM halogen.

Light is widely scattered.

 

I can only recommend these if you want them to match the 6000k headlight color.

 

As fog lights, not so much.

Here is the EXACT link to the product I bought from Amazon.com

http://www.amazon.com/OPT7-Headlight-Bulbs-Clear-Arc-Beam/dp/B00VNBDWPK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1458508907&sr=8-1&keywords=OPT7+H11

** When you plug in the "Does this fit your Vehicle" it will say that it doesn't. Trust me when I say that it does fit your vehicle. I don't think its been updated because I ordered them anyways and they worked perfectly fine**

 

 

I used the link from the original post and the lights they sent me said h11 on the box but the connectors definitely don't fit!

This is the plug on my factory bulb

 

This is the label on the box the lights were sent to me in

 

Top is the factory plug and bottom is the plug that came with the lights

 

It not only is much wider than the factory plug but the tabs seem to be at a different position and the plug that came with the lights is set much deeper than the factory plug.

Correct me if I’m wrong but the H11 is a socket type, not a connector type. That wider one is what mine looked like when I got it and it connects into a male, which then branches to two cords, the two cords connect to a matching pair connected to the LED. Basically, you aren’t connecting it all correctly I’d guess. There’s a couple more pieces in the middle

Ya I have all that connected the way it is supposed to be( like you are explaining) I just didn't take pictures of it cause it isn't the issue. That plug is the part that I am trying to connect to the factory wiring harness and it didn't fit. Your right, H11 is the socket type and the actual led fits in the socket, I'm just having an issue getting the wiring connected because the plug is too wide and won't fit with the factory wiring plug.

*update* the connectors on my truck are L4s and the connectors they sent me were L6s. I'm going by an automotive lighting place tomorrow to see if they can just switch out the connectors

That’s weird that they would be different connectors and than everyone else’s? Unless they actually sent you the wrong connectors or they sent you the connectors for the fog lights

Ya I doubt my connectors are different than everyone else's so I'm pretty sure that they sent me the wrong ones. At any rate Hopefully this place tomorrow has the right connector, they are supposed to stock these lights.

I bought those same H11 LEDs and they're awesome. The light is very bright and pure white with 6000k, and isn't scattered. I don't even need to use high beams at night anymore. Everything connected perfectly for me and fits behind the dust covers. I wouldn't think heat is an issue with covers on due to LEDs running much cooler than halogen bulbs. I haven't had any issues in the year that I've had them.
