I got these two bulbs along with the H7 for the high beam. Before I go any further the H7 bulbs will not work as they need an extra tab to be secure in the housing.
Initially I was very pleased with the result. The H8 (850 lumens) bulb popped right with no issues. Though the dust/water cap pushed up again the H11 (2800 lumens) bulb 2 prong connector, I was able to get them on. The light was a nice crisp white and the output was fantastic. A definite upgrade from the Sylvania zXe bulbs I was running. After having them on a couple of days I thought the light output wasn't that great but I kind of shrugged it off. It wasn't until I was driving this morning that I noticed the light output shift almost as if one of the bulbs went out. When I arrived at my destination I verified they were all on. I then turned my lights off, and then on again and they were much brighter. I don't know if the bulbs get too hot or what but initially the light is HID quality, but then shift to the light output of a halogen. Being that these bulbs are $150 for the H11 I can't recommend them as they seem fickle. The H8 bulbs are also $60 but I think the money you pay for what you get is acceptable. Here are pictures I took to show the difference.
Here is a side by side picture of initial turn on and prolonged use of about 30 min. The brighter being initial turn on.
