Review: great product - super bright and durable
Review: Excellent for replacing dull H11 bulbs! - I purchased these to replace the useless H11 bulbs in a 2019 Toyota Highlander. The stock bulbs barely put any light onto the road surface! These H9 bulbs light the road up for a good 100 feet or so. Without trying to use a cliche, it's a night and day difference between the old H11 and new H9 bulbs. Because the bulbs are still behind the stock projector lenses, the beam pattern remains the same as before, so you won't be blinding anyone and no one should be flashing their lights at you. It's all good, with the only potrntial downside being shorter lifespan for the H9 bulbs (compared to H11), and possibly more heat on the light's optics and possibly on the electrical connector and wiring (most cars should have no issues). The H9 bulbs need minor modifications to fit H11 housings. A thin metal tab needs to be shortened (for most cars) , and a small plastic tab in the electrical connector needs to be removed. For the metal tab, I used a pair of tin snips. One snip and the metal tab easy snapped off. For the plastic tab in the connector, I used a pair of flush cutting pliers that are typically used for cutting leads on PC boards. Unknown if it needed to be done, but I used a small file to smooth the remaining plastic bump that was left after using the cutting pliers. Having never performed this mod before, it literally took me 10 minutes to perform, and that included finding the proper tools. I would suggest using some rubbing alcohol on a clean paper towel to clean the bulb glass right before installation. Halogen bulbs typically use quartz glass. Quartz glass will absorb oils from your skin, and when the bulb heats up, there will be hot spots where the oils are, which can cause the bulb to shatter. The alcohol will remove any oils on the glass. I'd also suggest taking the bulbs you just removed and cleaning them with alcohol and then place them into the package your new bulbs came in (a few staples secures them inside), and placing it somewhere in the vehicle. Since these H9 bulbs have a shorter expected lifespan compared to your original H11 bulbs, they'll be on hand for a quick 5 minute replacement, if and when you need them. Putting the old bulb back in won't really help in lighting up the road, but it will keep you from getting pulled over and issued a ticket.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great upgrade for h11
*by A***3 on February 5, 2024*

I used this to replace stock h11 bulbs. Look online for find the actually process, it was very simple. My only recommendation is to buy the actual h9 female plugs, and splice them onto an h11 extender harness. These are 65w bulbs and produce a lot more heat. They will slowly melt a normal h11 falemale plug. Would definitely recommend these bulbs, very bright and a good color.
