Default 9006 or H11 Fog bulbs?

Went to the KB website and its showing 9006 but the owners manual is showing H11. Spent a lot of time searching and I'm finding both are used.

Did the bulbs change for 2011 from 9006 to H11?

Last time I checked 2011's headlights and fogs are both H11.
Besides, I would rather go with the Owner's manual than a website.

Although, this is a reliable site: http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...lacementGuide/
It says H11 for fog lights as well

Yes, 2011 changed to H11 for the fogs.

Yea, they are definitely H11's. Hopefully they haven't shipped yet?

I made a similar mistake when I was doing a 2011 front bumper conversion on my 09 IS and ordered a 9006 hid kit from HIDextra. When I opened the foglight boxes, noticed the bulbs are H11. I ended up buying a pair of H11 hid bulbs and selling the 9006 hid bulbs the kit came with.

Guessing I don't have a need for these bulbs. When I ordered, the the site said H16/9006 and when they came in it has H16 on the box.

Are these the same bulb?

I'm assuming H16 and 9006 are the same thing

Sylvania website is mostly reliable but always check your manual. For one thing, Sylvania mentions about licence plate lights which is incorrect because the bulbs cannot be replacable because it is intergrated as a unit - only can be replaced by purchasing a new assembly.

HB4 = 9006
HB3 = 9005
