I want to upgrade current H11 bulbs, are there any brands that have superior bulbs than stock OEM? Also, can I replace the H11 with another bulb model like H7?

They don't make Silverstars for H11. PIAA are supposedly equivalent but are pricey. I put Silverstars in my highbeams and noticed only a slight improvement. I went with a xTec xenon kit for my low beams. If you do this, make sure you get rebased D2R bulbs (includes reflector) and stay away from the 4000k temp range to keep the glare from being too bright. 5000k is workable but I've got 6000k on order. Also, you MUST aim the headlights based on the cutoff of the beam and not where the beam hits the road. It would be best to mark the beam cutoff with a piece of tape on a wall, then switch in the xenons and adjust as needed.

Please post pictures when installed!!! I was originally considering buying OEM from ebay.de but it's still espensive (around $900.00 shipped). Also how much did you pay for the kit?

Optics designed for Xenon send excess light closer to the car and to the sides. Stock glass makes the down-road beam too bright, and will blind anyone when your car is cresting hills, over bumps, etc. Aiming low works to prevent glare only if all your roads are completely flat and level.
