Upgrading your vehicle’s headlights from halogen or HID to LED can significantly improve visibility, safety, and style. H11 LED bulbs offer brighter illumination, longer lifespans, and better energy efficiency than traditional options. However, with so many brands available, choosing the right one can be overwhelming.
In this guide, we’ll review the top 5 H11 LED headlight bulbs in 2025, comparing brightness, durability, cooling performance, and user feedback, helping you choose the right bulb for your vehicles.

For 2025, our #1 overall pick remains the Lasfit LS Plus—where extreme brightness meets proven durability.
I’m extremely happy and very shock to see who’s the number 1 best H11 led bulbs to buy.
And I will say about why I’m surprise that couple brands are not on this list. It would be top 7.
1: we all know GTR-Lighting is considered the best of the best automotive led lighting brands. And they are unbelievable.
But I’m truly shocked and happy to see that Lasfit took the crown of the best H11 led bulbs and that is the LS plus. It’s crazy. But I’m glad that happen.
2: honestly I was hoping to see Auxito on this list, for the 2nd brightest led bulbs. Which is Auxito – Y19, offering 60W per bulb 6000 lumens per bulb.
Not 12,000 lumens lol.
That’s a shame but it’s ok.
3: I’m also surprise that Philips automotive led is been around for centuries just like Osram/sylvania. They are known for high quality reliable setted and forgetted led bulb replacements.
&4: Because of sylvania’s known for 100 years of lighting expertise, they are the most trust worthy automotive led lighting for centuries as well.
Lasfit if ur reading this. U didn’t have the watts and lumens on ur list.
For H11, the Sylvania – SL.BX2 with an external driver led bulbs for H11 produce 12W 1250 lumens per bulb.
And Sylvania’s new 2nd gen is with all in one style or with internal driver, and it makes 13W each 1345 lumens each.
But with that nice 5 year warranty, which is better than most. They are excellent, especially their sylvania zevo led bulbs.
To me and my top 3 recommendations for automotive led lighting brands,
1: Lasfit
2: Auxito
&
3: Sylvania
So I want to say for Lasfit and their best and brightest LS plus that’s know for high quality and power, durability and efficiency, congratulations for being the number 1 on the market.
I may not have the LS plus led bulbs, I could try those for how bright can they be.
I recently upgrade with Auxito – Y19 9005 led bulsb for 60W 6000 lumens each. And they are stupid bright.
