Better headlight bulb than stock?

Is an H11 bulb and upgrade from stock on my ‘06 Taco?
Not looking to replace projector.

Also what are you guys using to get yr headlight lenses clear again?
Appreciate yr help, thanks

 

Silvania SilverStar Ultra is a pretty good replacement.

I used the 3m headlight restore kit.
The key is to take your time and really get it smooth.
Tape off everything around the light. Good quality masking tape is what I used. Always make sure you are Wet sanding. Don't let the sanding disk become dry. I used the lower speed setting on a Dewalt cordless drill. Keep moving and never stay in one spot while sanding.

Before you apply the cover sealant make sure the headlight is DRY.
I waited a couple hours and applied it in the evening when it was not really hot outside. Let mine sit over night before I drove. That way I didn't get any dust in the cover sealant.

 

I also have the sylvania silver star ultra for headlights and fog lights.

 

Silver Stars have always burnt out fast for me. There is alot of decent lighting choices, I usually match fog and HL color. Read Amazon reviews one some and see what you think

 

Interesting mine are H4's in my 11 I'm using 65/90 watt H4's

 

Here's a thread on improved light output: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-ultimate-headlight-upgrade-h4-not-led-or-hid.398066/

 

Whiter brighter bulbs burn out faster (4 me).

Silver Stars in all my vehicles and they last forever for me.

Aftermarket headlight housings can be pretty good, even el cheapo ebay/Amazon units, as long as you carefully seal the two halves with clear silicon and let it dry before installing.

 

I’d stick with an h4, it led, hud, or h11 for the reasons listed in the thread linked above.

For me, wanting the best performance with an oem wire harness, but still budget friendly, I chose the philips Xtreme +130

As has already been said, check out this thread in the Lighting sub-forum: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-ultimate-headlight-upgrade-h4-not-led-or-hid.398066/

BTW, you'll find that Silverstars are not all they're cracked up to be. Much better bulbs are available. Read the above thread for details.

These are the bulbs I put in mine, along with the relay/wiring upgrade referenced in the ultimate headlight upgrade. They have been in there for a while and are very bright. I recently bought another pair for when they eventually burn out.

Which I believe are not DOT approved in the US. Which is why they are not sold here.

 

For 06 Tacoma, the stock headlight bulbs should be H4, not H11. Did you change the after-market headlight assembly?

 

This too is explained in the thread.

Second these

 

As the thread on the Ultimate Headlight Upgrade states, that's probably the best bulb one can get and not upgrade the truck's wiring. I have the UHU in my Tacoma, but those bulbs in my 2006 Scion xB daily driver and they're very good.

 

Thanks guys for all the valuable information, much reading to do to make a decision I guess, don’t want to be hasty deciding what to do,
And no I have not changed any wiring.

Thanks again
