Is it alright to put H11 instead of H8 for the foglight on a 2008 acura tl type s? It's 6000k btw and do i have to worry about anything burning?? Thanks!

 

H11 is equivalent to H8

 

You can try it out.

If you're going with halogen bulbs, they won't fit.

You have to do some trimming on the tab to make it fit using a dremel.

You'd also have to watch the wattage, and I wouldn't recommend doing this as it could raise some problems with your electrical.

6000k has nothing to do with wattage, it describes color.

So, no, that color won't burn anything. But, then again, neither will any of the other colors.


You want to check Wattage.

 

i bought a h8 hid kit for my car and was sent h11's. they work fine and use 35w. 50w kits are available too

 

Though you're right about describing color, technically Kelvin is a temperature measurement .

 

H11 and H8 are cross reference for each other, you can use either...

 

Very true if you're refering to HIDS, but halogen bulbs are a tiny bit different.

OP didn't specify, so, who knows heheh

 

OK I did put them on and it works fine!! I love the way it looks but i think its way too bright, especially when I'm planning on putting 8000k for my high/low beam. What do you guys think about this combination 8000k high/low beam and 6000k for the foglights? Thanks

BTW: These are HIDs!

 

do all 8k so they match, there will be slight color difference cause of the lenses, and its never bright enough
they are fogs so u dont have to worry about blinding other drivers

 

I want that bluish color like the ones you have on yours. Is that 8k? BTW is there a way to clean the inside of the foglight lens? I kind of messed it up! Long story short, the lens is now actually fogged up lmao! I was thinking of just sticking a cloth through the socket and try to wipe the lens off. Is there any other easy way i can do this?

 

ohh for crying out loud....google it dude....

kelvin (color) cross reference chart



you want 35W....55W might burn something....

if you have the accord fogs get H11 (or what the fog light provider mentioned)

 

Yes. And (kind of) no. It depends on context.

Although K(elvin), even when related to the color of light, is coorelated to a temperature, it does not have anything to do with the temperature (i.e. heat) of the light output.

If it did, a 6500K bulb would burn at ~11240 degrees F. That'll get your housings melted. And your sheet metal. And brakes. And pretty much everything else.

Instead (as I suspect you know), K(elvin) with regard to light means:

IOW - you'd have to heat an ideal black body radiator to ~11240 degrees F to for it to glow with a color of 6500K.

 

I have 8k for low/high beam and the rest are LEDs hyper white. Idk about cleaning your fogs... how did they get fogged up? I would pour some solution into the fog that doesnt eat out the reflective part and clean it that way.
