HIR Headlights

[mtbennett24]

Anyone got any info/experience with these? I am mildly interested in giving them a try. Only thing is that I am not sure there is a bulb type for my 09 Z71 which has H11 lows. Only the 9005 high beams. Thoughts?

I have not heard of these, but I would be very interetsed in them for another car if someone has heard anything.

I have heard good things about them, some people prefer them over HIDs. Not sure about your bulb though, you would have to go through a site that sells em to find out

No replacements for the H11 lows. Looks like 5000k HIDs for the lows and I might give the 9005 HIR replacements a shot for the highs.

i have 6000k hid for lows and hirs for highs. looks weird when i turn them on due to 6000k having a bluish tint and hirs being a brighter white.

why not just get HIDs? they are pretty cheap now?

i didnt read the website so i could be missing something but just curious cause ive not heard of this

I was thinking of getting the HIRs for the lows instead of HIDs because it is a straight bulb replacement. No ballast, wiring harness, relay, etc.

tool2269, You think 5000K would be the right match with HIR high beams?

I dont know how much the HIR lights are but the are supposed to be a "better" alternative to HIDs in stock housing. I wouldnt know for sure though, I have HID's in my stock housing

I'm not entirely sure. I can for sure tell you they are not a good match with DDMtuning 6000k hid's

BTW I got my HIRs from the site you listed. I think thats the only place to get them anymore. IMO they're similar (and maybe slightly brighter) to sylvania's ultra bright silverstars.
