Any other trd offroads or trd pro came with h9 low beams?

been searching the forums but everything leads me to believe everyone in the world has h11 and my trd pro 17' came with h9's? am i crazy?

 

Did you buy it new? The pro has the exact same head lights as all the other ones besides the black accents on the inside

 

yes it was new. i googled and search and searched and now my mind is fried so thats why i started a new thread. im looking at the bulbs now and says phillips h9 12v 65w. also looking for a better bulb than this but am having trouble with that as well. guess no love for h9's.... but seriously am i the only one with h9's?!

 

Are you sure you’re removing the right bulb?

 

Low beam H11
High beam H9

 

Doh thats what I get for doing this at night with barely any light. H9 are lows. Thanks guys.

 

these phillips xtremes are much brighter than my stock bulbs that seemed to have dimmed! i never go on here but i didnt want to go to dealer for a bulb swap. thanks for those who quickly replied and helped! now i can drive safely at night here in the burbs!

 

I used those in my truck too, nice little upgrade.

 

yeah oem bulbs were dimmed out and pretty bad after couple years. can i ask you how long youve been using your extreme set? trying to get an idea how long these will last. might need to buy another pair as back up in a few months.

 

My truck is about 15 months old and I put them in during the first few weeks of ownership and they are still fine.

 

No H11 are lows and H9 are highs.

an get H11 Hikari LED from azon with the phillips Lumi-led put out 12,000lm thank me later. They will ALL be H11. They fit. Only the HID or regular stock bulbs you have to worry about the HB size. If you look at the base of each they should look the same.

With standard bulb the HB is higher wattage (H9 @ 65w) LB is H11 @ 55w.

Doesn't matter - those standard bulbs are not very bright specially the fogs (H11).

Can replace all 3 with LED H11

 

H9s are 30% brighter than the Hikaris w/Philips, and their 12,000 lumen claim is complete BS (like most cheap LEDs), they are closer to 1400-1500 lumens each.

Drop in LEDs should definitely not be run in the reflector fogs due to glare issues.

Best replacement bulb for the low is going to be modifying an H9 bulb to fit on the H11 socket and connector. There is no ‘performance versions of H9’ as it already is an exceptionally high performing bulb, you’ll instead want to look for a quality bulb fromGerman brands like Sylvania, Osram, Philips or Volsa.

 

yeah i dont plan on changing my h9 high beams. from what i read they are pretty much at the best from what i gather. and these phillips xtreme are pretty solid. i have a pro so i have the rigid fogs and im actually happy with those as they do work really well for me in the burbs. thanks again for all your input tho, yall so nice

 

Headlights are my #1 complaint on this truck. My old Subaru and Honda had better headlights. I will be trying out those bulbs.

 

About 15 years ago, I tried that in my Honda. I was replacing bulbs every 3-6 months. Maybe bulb tech has improved the life of these now, but I will probably just stick with H11.

 

These bulbs offer a small improvement but they are not going to blow you away, nice little upgrade for the money though.

 

compared to stock its much better. if you really want good lights tho, go hids. my audi has some damn good lighting and i dont think anything can beat hids but of course thats gonna cost ya!

 

I know there are some good HID/LED upgrades out there, but like you said, not worth the money for me. I'd rather just get a light bar, as I'd find that more useful when I'm camping out in the back country.

 

H9 is a high beam bulb, life is sacrafieced to achieve the performance. The bulbs are only rated at 150 hours.

For an equal output but longer lasting bulb, use a high wattage H11:

I know the difference between H9/H11. As I said, I experimented with this over a decade ago. Bulbs burn out way too fast.
