I ask about this one because it says on the site "H11", not "H11b"

High-beam/Daytime Running Light H1 -

Fog-lights 881-

Would those 3 be the ones you would want for a 2011 Koup SX?
Thanks so much
If you are in North America - yes.

If you are outside NA then you'll need to double check your headlight bulbs. I believe that in Asia and Austrailia they use an H7 bulb but not certain.

also im a noob to cars/electronics how do i check the fuses?
my dome light dont work and my center console (radio display) is very dim and can barely see it.. i make sure brightness is all the way up, this happened before and it fixed itself. i checked my license plate lights and the left one was off i touched it trying to remove it and it turned on.

Default low beam h11b

Anybody know if you can use 100 watt bulbs instead of 55 watt in the h11b low beams?

Don't do it. The wiring is designed for 55W, 100W might blow a fuse or melt a wire. Better safe than sorry.

Dude... I already answered that question. Look above
The wiring can't handle 100 watts, it will probably blow your fuse.

Like AutoKind said, YES there will be problems. Unless you upgrade the wires and fuse to correctly handle the extra wattage.

hey, where's the 5 door specs?

I would like to get some mega bright LED reverse lights, but I'm not sure if the tail light bulbs are the same as the sedan/koup!

Ok. I have a issue..i bought leds for my turns signals( in the front only) and when I turn on my parking lights, they dont cut on. If I hit the turn signal, they flash. I bought the led flasher, that didnt work. I tried the resistors but they still did not cut on. The bulbs are 1157. I dont know what else to do. Maybe I hooked the resistors up to the Wrong wire. Do I need a dual function led or something. I tried lookking to verify I had the right wires but I could not find a sight to look up the wire color codes.

In Brazil they use h7 for low beam, and h1 for high.
