Hi all,
I have a 14 Crosstrek Hybrid. The lowbeam lighting has always been terrible. About a year ago I replaced the stock H11 bulbs with Phillips H11 Xtreme Vision Bulbs. No real change and now one of the bulbs has gone out again. A couple locals recommended the OEDRO H11 LED Headlight Bulb Conversion Kit (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075J89RYP/). I went to install them this morning and it seems that the fit doesn't work. Can't get the locking twist mechanism to actually engage -- it seems light the bulbs push too far in to actually be able to then twist and lock.
1. If anyone has any insight on these bulbs (or similar) that I'm just missing something, I would appreciate it. I have the Outback 40W fog light upgrade and these H11 bulbs fit perfectly in that housing so I'm not sure what might be different or what I'm doing wrong.
2. I've looked into other LED alternatives like the Diode Dynamics bulbs and the pictures seem to be similar - which also makes me wonder if I'm doing something wrong, but makes me hesitate to buy something different for now.
3. I've read a ton of threads here and can't find any upgrade that seems to be universally loved. I would easily pay more to get a better lighting upgrade but all the threads on LEDs, HID upgrades, HID retrofits, projector housing replacements, etc. just seem to have very mixed reviews. Am I missing a well-loved upgrade/alternative?
Thanks in advance for the help. Very frustrated today.
