Careful what bulbs you are buying-from Ford site re 2017 Limited:
- Headlamps – Autolamp Auto On/Off, LED Low Beams, Halogen Reflector High Beams
- LED Signature Lighting
- LED taillamps

I have 4 pair of exotic 9005 and 9011 bulbs in the garage.
.
My Phillips 9011 perceived output is same or less than ZXEs, at best the same brightness but more yellow light.
The ZXEs
seem brighter as they are whiter light-but 15ft in front of the car and it all goes to grey white or grey yellow and you still cant see well enough.
(any will look great against your garage door, dont use that as a test)
Any pics you see showing bright white light from 9011s is a trick of the lens.
The area of the pic where the light falls is overexposed due to its night, in reality its nothing like that Subaru forum pic.
9011 are barely any better-but certainly way cheaper than ZXEs, which are ridiculous.
9011 tab trim is easy-it doesnt need to be dead on, just use the same proportion as you see in the pics. Its about a 3rd of the tab.
Nail clippers work well-clip a tiny amount until you clip enough, no need to try it in 1 shot.
If you trim it too small, no problem.
The lumen output for any 9005 is poor already, & the projectors on the Ex are horrible.
Together you have the nicest looking but most useless OEM headlights.
Piss poor no matter what you do with Halogen in this projector.
