Is PIAA H11 & H7 compatible?

Just wondering if you guys can help identifying if these are compatibles?

Got this information compilation from bavarian19 (AJ)....hope this helps:

H11 and H7 are not interchangeable, I think that's what you're asking. Voltagewise, you can use the H11 for fogs (55w is the correct voltage). I believe same case for the H7 bulbs (used in the halogens).

thanks mate. maybe i should have word it differently, just too lazy to type...hehe

i was asking if our stock OEM H11 and H7 could be replaced with the PIAA H11& H7 as shown in the above respectively.

coz today went pass a shop that sells a generic brand H11 fog bulbs. the label reads 12v 80w ->100W. so i assume this is not compatible as it draws 80W from my car, and produce 100W blue-white light which i think its not advisable as i read in this forum that the stock H11 fog light bulbs are 55W.

So i am looking for these. Now i found PIAA. Think i will order them.

yep can't go wrong with PIAAs. And you are correct, you need a 55w voltage (final output doesn't matter) for the H11 bulbs to avoid the dreaded error message. I have verified this myself as I have swapped out my fog bulbs which are 55w-->100w.

As I mentioned, I am not sure about the H7s, I'd assume the same premise.

GL, and please share results.
