2011 G37x Sedan. The data I have says they are H8, but when I search an auto part site it says H11. Are they the same? What is right?

I was looking at lights on ebay too and half the H8s say not compatible.

 

We have the same car. Mine are H8.

I see lots of bulbs being advertised as H8/H11 so maybe they are somewhat interchangeable? However, in doing a little research, I see that these bulbs are identical except 1 VERY important difference. The locking tabs. You can probably get an H8 to lock into an H11 socket (not sure) but the H11 has larger locking tabs and I doubt it would lock into an H8 housing.

Sedans are h8 and coupes are h11 starting 2011

 

Dam Infiniti for having a coupe and sedan with the same name!!!

 

H8 = H11

They are the same...both work.

How do I know...
I've tried both.

 

Just for info -- H8 bulb is 35 watts while the H11 is a 55 watt bulb. The H11 bulb does put out more light than the H8.

If you mean you've used an H11 in your G, I guess the extra wattage drain that bulb takes did not blow your fuse, so it's all good.

I, personally, am going to try these led fog light bulbs:

H11 Philips LED bulb | H16 Philips LED bulb | H8 Philips LED Fog bulb

I know, expensive, but they put out almost twice as much light as an H8 halogen bulb and uses less than 10 watts.

 

Sorry, I was referring about HID bulbs, but all the same that they both work.

 

yea they are similar, like EG Ryan said they only differ in watts and slight locking tabs.

 

So if I buy a 50W Cree LED H8 it will not work???
