Fits a 2019 Highlander (L/H beams) but not the Hybrid foglights
Using these in my 2019 Highlander Hybrid Limited. Work very well and offers great bang for the buck in low beam position. Also got same results in the high beam position.However, it says the 2019 takes the H11 for the fog lights. That may be so on non-hybrids or LE, SE and XLE trims. But, if your fog light looks like the attached picture, it won't work. Found out the hard way my hybrid limited already has LED bulbs/housing for fog lights. It's also a complete unit, so I'd have to replace the fog light housing to replace the LED fog light.

Lasted under 2 years closer to 1 year.
Plenty bright and as easy to install as can be I guess, wish they lasted longer.

Great upgrade to 2021 Tacoma SR
Tried some plain (fan-less and no cpu) LED bulbs from another seller and although they were bright, they would flicker just a bit (especially when engine idling). These have fans and a cpu, and so far they're great! No flickering, very bright, great color temp and the fans are quiet (without interference with stereo. Easy to install, now I'll just have to see about their longevity.I purchased three sets of H11 bulbs and put them into the low beam (projector housing), high beam and into my aftermarket fog lights. Easy install

Satisfied with the brightness but wish they were even brighter. Prius projector headlight.
Update 12-19-2019: 1 year later - Part of the LED light is having a loose connection causing part of the right side light of car to cut off. However still usable. (note my picture is light on concrete which would show the brightess time of the headlight) I still have the feeling of wishing they were brighter because i'm comparing them to the perfect brighter more expensive headlights on more expensive cars or trucks. It's quite annoying that it is not standard on every automobile to have excellent perfect headlights and windshields are getting cheaper quality too... after all were talking about avoiding potential life threatening accidents/debris. Also still little concerned of the brightness being a little too bright for other driver's sight.Update 12-28-2018: There are a few times when I wish it was a little brighter, actually twice is bright maybe, but for definitely improvement from bright ones from local auto parts. You will notice on different roads the brightness will be more or less depending if it's concrete (like in my 1st pic it would show brightest and a road that is darker may show a bit lower brightness. If you're driving in city with lots of street lights you might forget your headlights are on because there is no focused beam in front, it's just a flat spread of light. I"m ok with that and it's far enough to give me a better heads up to avoid debris on road but still requires a good focus to look ahead and avoid.__________________________________________________After driving 15 years with halogens these LED from katana h11 for my 2013 prius plugin, projector headlights, work great! and i'm satisfied with the brightness!!The fan noise db is said to be 64db and you can hear it only when it is very quiet around you with the motor off in EV mode. I was worried but it's hardly noticeable and gives the cool feeling of like a hovercraft or something haha. First i bought the beamtech fanless and it was not bright enough for me. 8+ hours of research ...Very difficult these days finding the correct product you need. I went to Bulbfacts.com and youtube and found the comparisons of diff bulbs which led me to this one. It was a tight fit into the bulb socket h11 but got it in.Going to have dealer or someone verify the headlight is installed correctly but the cutoff looks great in the prius projector headlight displayed on the wall in front of you, so i have little worry that im blinding people, however when i looked at my headlights from about 10-20 feet away they looked pretty bright head on, so there probably is a factor of a bit more annoyance to other driver's sight.They even worked great in the fog last night south of the 91 to long beach, los angeles. I felt like the white color temp was penetrating the fog better, maybe just because they are brighter or maybe the color temp helps. I miss the semi yellow on the halogens how they looked because it seems like an easier/softer color to see but the 6500k white I'm sure i'm getting used to it and most importantly it's bright enough. Not as bright as HID lights or professional LEDs on expensive car/trucks but close moreless to a lot of the bright headlights i've seen comparing.I hope they last 2 or 3 years at least or 100-150k miles as i drive 50k a year. Where as the silvania extra vision halogens lasted about a year.My other option was the Hikari ultra leds (lumiled technology) which are only a little bit brighter but fan noise is slightly higher. I think the Lumiled tech is newer or better perhaps than the cree or maybe comparable i don't know. I'm just curious to see in the future how lumiled bulb would work vs a cree in my projector headlights.See attached pictures, the pics look a bit brighter than actual, and brightess you will see because of concrete road alley. not best quality at all but just to give you an idea. auto focus, auto settings camera cell motorola g6.

BRIGHT! Not awful.... unsure of longevity.
I really like these lights, and this is my 2nd set. I originally purchased my first set in Nov. 2019 & installed them in my 2017 Subaru Legacy Sport. They lasted until September 2022 when the LED diode on one side of the light went out on my drivers side bulb, so only half of the light worked. I ended up just buying a new set (purchased in Sept 2022) and replacing both lights. I'm not sure how long these are usually supposed to last so I can't say if they failed before they should have, but I will say that these are BRIGHT and definitely light up the road! I only changed my low beam bulbs, I left the original halogen in my bright lights, and unplugged my DRL harness. I also changed my fog lights to LED bulbs to match, but not this brand.

Best LED Headlights I've Experienced
I love these headlights! They look good. They provide great lighting. They are so much better than the old halogen bulbs. They brightly light up the night road providing a clear view ahead. However... (yep, there's a however) However we have had these headlights for 3 years now. And one bulb is definitely dimmer than it used to be. The advert for these bulbs state "shine up to 55,000 hours". I realize that is "up to". But if you had these headlights on for 24-7 for 365 days a year 55,000 hours would be just over 6 years. Now whenever we turn the car on the headlights come on. So every minute we drive the headlights are on. But I guarantee you that we are not using the car more than 4 hours a day on average. So 4 hours for 365 days is 1,460 hours a year. So for the 3 years we have had them we got almost 4,400 hours out of them. That's a far cry from 55,000 hours. Now as I said, we love these headlights. I might just have to expect to change them every 3 years. But hey, that's much better than the HID headlights in our old Prius which had to be changed with every 4th new moon (so it seemed). I would just prefer not to be told "shine up to 55,000 hours" when in reality it only lasts less than 10% of that.However (another however) with all that said... I'm buying another set. Like I said, I love these headlights. They are by far the best overall headlights, not just LED, I've installed in all our vehicles. It's just a shame that I cannot get these for our other vehicles.

Purchased May 2019, finally had one fail October 31, 2022
They are plenty bright, make sure to align them properly. Otherwise have worked very well. I started to see a flicker last week, figured it was time. Overall, not a bad purchase.

KATANA Best Budget LEDs, abit higher price from others but well worth the price
AUSTRALIAN REVIEWI bought a H11 LED bulb from Amazon US for my 2011 Toyota Aurion (a V6 Camry Australian version) with projectors.I am totally Happy with the purchase. Its not as bright as an HID kit but way much better than a Halogen or a cheaper Winpower LEDs (that I have replaced due to not enough throw), with Pure White color & no blue tint. I can see the cut off and the actual throw of the headlights now.As per other reviews, it looks totally the same sa Supernova V4 US$160+ (Headlight Revolution), Australian Supernova v4 AU$160 or a Authobarn's AU$200 and just below AU$80. I will think it will be the same Performance of those with the fraction of the cost.Highly recommended AAA+++

Great value
Install this on my Prado high beam, and wow!!!! They are amazingly bright. I don’t think I’ll need those led light bar anymore. They also run pretty cool and I can’t really hear the fan at all being a Diesel engine.At this price, it’s defiantly worth it. Wish I found it sooner. I kept my low beam halogen to be street legal in australia.For those who are thinking of installing this for low beam, please make sure you adjust them properly to be considerate to other drivers. Too many idiots driving with led improperly installed on low beam.

Much improved over OEM halogen lights
Installed these in a 2020 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport. First installed on Aug 1, 2021 and so far have been great. They are much brighter than the stock halogens. They seem a bit worse in heavy fog, but are fine in heavy rain. Haven't been able to test in snow just yet. Driver box was a little annoying but I found spots for both that are out of the way. I cannot hear the fans unless I'm inside the car with the engine off and lights on and it's completely silent, otherwise I don't even notice them. I will update if the lights or fans die an early death.

One of the best led globes on the market for projector lenses.
Would highly recommended these katana led globes, I’m currently using these in my Pajero NW Which users projector lenses and I would have to say they have the best beam pattern out of all the led globes I’ve tried and there super bright but wouldn’t recommend you use these globes in reflector lenses though unless there only used in high beam, you pay a bit more for them but we’ll worth the money.

Buenas luces pero no para mi auto
Son buenas en general pero no tan brillantes como esperaba, ya que en mi tundra que le cambié todo el faro por proyectores no me da el brillo suficiente, las luces de los demás autos hace que pierda de vista a las mías. Si fuera un auto sedán creo que sería más que suficiente. Creo que optaré por unas xenon.
