I need new low beam bulbs for my 2007 Toyota Tundra SR5 Double Cab 4.7L. Low beam is H11. No fog lights. I drive rural Maine roads so it is truly dark, but I am in town too. Oncoming headlights are brutal for my vision, so I care about clean beam pattern and glare control, not just something that looks bright.
My headlight lenses are hazed and yellow. I am leaning toward a restore kit, but I keep seeing advice to replace the whole headlight assemblies. I want to avoid cheap aftermarket housings that scatter light, leak, or haze again rapidly.
For anyone who has dealt with this, what H11 low beam bulb recommendations do you have that work well in the stock housings? Halogen options welcome. LED options only if they keep a clean pattern and do not throw glare everywhere.
And, should I restore, or do the full housing replacement? If you replaced, which brand was actually decent and held up through winter?
Beam pattern pics against a garage door or real road shots would be awesome!
Restore kit for the lights, no question. Aftermarket options are junk. Seal with a k2 clear for maximum longevity after polish.
If it came with halogen, stick with that. LED do not emit the same beam pattern that the housing was designed for.
