Last year I upgraded the H11/9005 bulbs in my 2011 WRX with Phillips Standard H9s and Standard 9011s. While I know that the Philips Standard 9011s are not "true" HIR bulbs, they made a tremendous difference. The H9s likewise made a huge difference over the stock H11s in the factory projector (aside from the reduced lifespan). But, in my time lurking here I've done a lot of reading about Philips Xtreme Power (or is it Xtreme Vision now?) and Narva or Vosla +50 and +100 bulbs and it has me wondering about my planned upgrade to the wife's 9006 headlights.
Is 9011/9012 always the best upgrade for a 9005/9006 lamp?
The lamp has a built-in bulb sheild so I'm not worried about the tip.
Legality aside, is there any reason to go with one of these "true" stock-fitment bulbs over modifying the 9012 to fit?
