Review on πŸ’‘ Philips 12362B2 H11 Standard Halogen Replacement Headlight Bulb 2 Pack by Philips by Ryan Will

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Brighter but not overpowering

So I wanted something brighter than OEM but not blinding other drivers like some of the newer LEDs. They are advertised as 60% brighter, but are still within the acceptable range. You can see in the attached picture that they are lighter/whiter than the original (new bulb on the left). If I had to guess, they're about 40% brighter, although the picture isn't accurate. Since every car has a different look, the end result can vary, so for the record they were fitted to a 2011 Volvo XC60. Overall I'm happy with the results and will keep my eyes peeled for when they need to be replaced. Note. If you have the same model vehicle and want to use an LED, the bulb is located with minimal clearance behind a cover on the back of the headlight assembly. So trying to fit a longer bulb won't work without changing the cap and risking a bad seal.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • boring packaging
