I am not satisfied with my PIAA H11 4000K and thought about buying these ones. I was told that Nokya was building brighter lights than PIAA. Does H11=H11 whatever they write?, i.e. in this case it says chevy impala h11, why would this fit only impala?
Thanks!!!
Yes, just look for H11 for your car, it says other brands of car as a sales tactic. Most people aren't knowledgeable about cars so they look up the year and make and boom there it is. But some might list the year which may have the changes to the bulb numbers.
Make sure that site sells legit Nokya bulbs because I've seen a few that were fake (rebranded).

Do all Canadians double post????????????
That applies to HID/xenons. But for halogens the difference is insignificant since they are filtered/tinted for both the PIAA and the Nokyas.
So, if 7000K provides less light than 4000K from my PiAA, should I then buy the yellow one 2500K to get better results, i.e. more light output closer to HID?

Thanks again for your great help!!!
The sweet spot is around 4300K. Going to a lower Kelvin will yield LESS light, but going with a higher Kelvin will also yield LESS light.
The advantage of yellow or 2500-3500K lights is that the color penetrates fog much better. So whenever you're driving in fog or rain, you will see best with "yellow" lights. For any other condition, a bulb with a rating of around 4300K will give you the best results.

Read post #3 again and see if you understand. What most people are referring to is for HID's which you are NOT getting. For halogens you would want the bulbs not to be filtered, if its filtered it may all have the same output lumen (which will be less then the filtered ones).
