looks like they come stock with 9005, so 9011 HIR should fit nicely.

9005 HB3 = 1700 lumens @ 3250K life 225hrs
9011 HIR = 2500 lumens @ 3600K life 300hrs

Remember to get Toshiba ones... Also these dont pull any more amps and run at the same 65W.

HIR Headlights 9011 9012 bulbs

Ive personally had these in my Integra, and i must say the output is much better than stock 9005.

It looks like you can get the same bulbs from here too (scroll right down to the bottom):

Whats wrong with the bulbs that are in there now?

[Digitalfiend]

Nothing, but they aren't as bright as the bulbs in the link. I do a lot of driving along forested roads at night so I plan on getting a set.

Its like the first time you drive with HID's... Once you try HIR in the highbeams, you will never want to go back to stock 9005 halogen. Its like night and day difference in the dark.

I though my 04 lights were better than my 08's

[GilMikalian]

I'm not so concerned with changing the highs but looks like they make the bulb for the fog light...more ways for me to spend money on my car.

I have HIR's in my '05. Got them from rallylights.com who are great folks. The lights are awesome.

I'm about to order a set of these and just want to confirm that this is the correct item:
Hella 9005/HB3 Replacement and Upgrade Bulbs (at the bottom of the page)

CP9011 9011-HIR1 Bulb, 12V, 65W, Toshiba, each

They noted on their site that you need to make a small modification to the 9011 to fit 9005. Anyone have info on this modification (i.e. what I need to remove)?

Thanks.

Edit:
For future reference, the mod required is listed here:

So, the second link are the right ones?

[GilMikalian]

The first link is for the bulbs, the 2d link tells you what you have to do to the bulbs to make them fit our application (along with others).

[GL4662]

Ah, are you running these then?

[Bownse]

How do the Hella compare to the Philips Vision Plus? They're all halogen bulbs. As long as they aren't some dinked-up, blue-tinted, HID wanna-be (and not absurdly overpriced like the PIAA super whites) then there should be at least the UK Oshram's, the Philips and the Hella (good company, I simply am not personally familiar with their replacement bulb offerings).

Most OEM halogens are weak and yellowish.

Nope, thought about it but spent the money on other mods.
