Going to the link, yep, that's the little animal alright. Guess I simply just live with the original bulbs that came in the vehicle ... yellow and all. By the way ... because I had cut the outter plastic on the H7 Ultras, before knowing they would not be used, Advance Auto would not take them back. Just going to throw them on ebay is all ... no big deal.

It's either live with the OEM bulbs or try searching for an automotive parts supplier in the UK or something that might carry upgraded H11B bulbs.
 
I question Hyundai's thinking in going with a bulb that isn't mass produced in North America. Then again, it could be a way to steer $$$ their way because I'm sure they will have some on hand when bulbs burn out and if they want $27 for a single replacement H8 fog light bulb, I can only imagine how much they'll be charging customers for the replacement H11B bulbs!!! I guess their thinking is that customers will go ahead and pay them for it instead of driving all over looking for a store that sells them.

Try this site:
 
Daniel Stern Lighting
 
He lists the H11 for $13.50 (and the H8 is shown at $11!)

Gotta be careful...there's an H11 bulb and an H11B bulb, of the two, the latter is NOT available on the Daniel Stern Lighting site.

Yeah, the H11 and H11B bases are totally different.

It might be worthwhile to contact Stern and ask about the H11B bulbs. He seems to have access to a wide range and may just have access to the H11B.

He may very well have access to an H11B bulb, but the problem is...by it being such a new bulb, companies probably haven't begun making after market applications like the ones out there for the other bulbs that are pretty mainstream.
 
Right now, it's known that Sylvania makes an H11B, but only as the regular halogens, not the upgraded, Cool Blues, Silverstars or Ultras. I would gather to believe that none of the other makers have jumped on to start making aftermarket upgrades for H11B's yet.

Philips X-treme-H7 bulbs by 144tap

I ordered, received, and installed the Philips X/T H7's bulbs from the UK, came in about a week. I used both methods for insall. (creation vs evolution). I'm definitly NOT sold on removing the whole lite housing now, I tried that method first. I mean really, to simply twist the cap off reach in, push the spring wire down holding the back of the bulb in and BAM the bulb is free. I had it replaced in a minute. But, I don't see a Big/Huge diff. in OEM vs X/T's. Someday I'll step up to the HID's.

Maybe there's a problem with the X/T's...there's a huge difference between the OEM and the Silverstar Ultras. I mean...the OEM bulbs cast a yellowish, dull light that doesn't seem to light the road that well. The Ultras are a clean, crisp white color that lights the road in front of you very well. I won't literally say it's a night and day difference, but the difference is very significant.
 
I agree with you about the whole idea of removing the headlight housing to change the bulb. I did it once and I was only able to remove one headlight housing successfully, the other one didn't want to come out and I didn't feel like breaking anything in doing so. At any rate...with the housing out...bulb replacement was a snap, but...you have the extra step of removing and replacing the housing.
 
If you're looking for a good price on the HID's, contact Supreme Power. The guy there offered me an HID set up for mine for $200, he said he also had one for the fog lights as well...package deal, he offered both sets to me for $350. If I wasn't working on some of these home improvement projects, I would have jumped on that deal!!!
