    Vosla HIR2 +30% vs +50%?

    Please let us know if these are still Toshiba bulbs, and if they are made in Japan. I do not think they will honor any warranty if you trim these bulbs.

    Are these Bosch 9012 HIR bulbs real HIR ??

    Update on these, the +120 burned out in about 8 months, which was about 8000 miles, no clue how many hours it was, as the low beam on my vehicle are my DRLs. I replaced the burned out one with a +50, couldn't tell a difference with the aged +120 vs the +50 as they shined on the garage door. I...

    Are these Bosch 9012 HIR bulbs real HIR ??

    I have the +120 for about a month, small improvement over the aging +30 I had, but not enough brightness to justify the cost. If they come stateside and way down in price, I would probably get them. I doubt these will last a year with my driving style and DRL usage.

    Vosla HIR2 +120

    Anyone got their hands on the Vosla HIR2 +120 (27432)? I can't find out much online about them or even where to buy them, except on Russian and European forums. Cut sheet shows very poor life, only 150 Hours at 14.0 volts :thumbsdow and 1875 lm ± 15% @13.2V...

    HIR 9011 and 9012 Questions

    I will add my 2 cents. The 9011 bulbs that ship from GM parts direct. com are Vosla HIR 9011 and in the rally lights link above, the output for the Vosla 9011 is listed at 3000 lumens, which seems bogus. Should be in the ballpark of 2350 lumens.

    AC Delco HIR1

    Update: bulbs arrived today from GMPartsDirect.com (25770739) were also Vosla and not Toshiba, as reported above. Oh well, I am done chasing the toshiba bulbs, the toyota price is insane. I couldn't find the cut sheet for the Vosla 9011 on the vosla US website, in fact no 9011 bulbs are...

    AC Delco HIR1

    I just recently ordered a pair of these bulbs (25770739) based on the other thread too, they should arrive early next week. I ordered them through GMPartsDirect.com, which ships from a GM dealer in Winston Salem, North Carolina, USA. I was hesitant to buy them off of amazon due to the reviews...

    HIR1/9011 recommendation?

    Were you able to install these bulbs? What is the GM part number? Where were they made, China or Japan?

    Poor HIR2 projector performance

    Thanks for that cut sheet, looks like I was on the lower end of the rated life.

    Poor HIR2 projector performance

    Figured I would update this thread even thought I am not the OP. I bought the Vosla HIR +30 (GM part number 23342527)in January from gmpartsdirect.com. The passenger side bulb burned out today in my corolla, lasted just about 5 months. It was a shame, I knew being brighter comes at a cost...

    Have a new 2016 Corolla and I'm still getting "flashed"

    My friend has a current gen corolla for a few months now, he says he gets flashed all the time by other drivers when he has his low beams on. When he takes it in for free service next week he will ask the dealer to adjust the lights.
