I for sure have factory HID's, I can tell and it says High Intensity Discharge Headlamps on my car paper.

Yet they did install the H11's in my headlights ? Is that the reason why I barely see any difference from my stock HID to the 8000k DDM ones ?

If you have factory hid it d4s bulbs. The reason you say it still looks the same because they never changed it. They probably just did your fogs with the h11. Cause your fog probably have a hint of blue to them now.

Ok I know what to get now. D4S are double the price o.0.

But ya, they put the H11 in my headlight lowbeam not my fogs. My fogs are stock right now. I think they got it mixed up. I have the H11 in my headlights right now though ?? Cause I have the stock headlight bulbs in this box next to me.

This thread >>> me. I've read it through multiple times, and still cannot figure out what OP has.

If you say the H11's are in your low beams, what does D4S have to do with anything? You state that H11 are in your headlights, then three sentences later, you ask are they in your headlights? Why don't you turn on your lights, and see where they put the H11 bulbs??

How do you know the bulbs in the box next to you are the headlight bulbs and not the fog light bulbs? It could be either; they are the same bulb size (if you don't have stock HIDs, which its seems like you dont).

It's really simple. If you have the H11 in your low beams, you do not need D4S.

I already know what I need now. Thanks to everyone. I just bought me 10000k D4S bulb for low beam and 3000k H11 for my fogs from HIDextra.

I had 8000k H11 and 3000k 9006. I thought thats what I needed but was wrong. They ended up installing the 8000k H11 on my car (lowbeam) and said that I got the wrong bulb for the fogs (9006) and said to come back when you get the right one.

I just didnt like the brightness/color output of the 8000k so thats why I bought a 10000k D4S.

This is getting ridiculous. You can't just put an H11 HID kit into a car that has stock HID's!

10,000K is so ridiculous, you will NOT get good light out of them. It will be bad. I honestly don't think anything over 6,000K is ever worth doing.

This thread is confusing and weird.

Losts0ck, can you post a picture of your car?

OK, ****. SORRY GUYS. I FEEL SO STUPID. He did put the H11 in my fogs. I think I heard him wrong. Then when I got home I was looking at the headlight on but my fog wasnt on to notice it. This goes down in stupid history ! -.-

But ya I bought 10000k D4S and 3000k H11. I wanted the fogs yellow thats why.

Heres pics.
