    Hi,

    I have some question about my truck that I'm not sure about and was wondering if there are some resources.

    Lights
    I know about this post but still don't quite get the difference between h8, h9 and h11 other than wattage. It sounds like I can use a H11 in a H9 slot but need to modify it. I also am not able to find the one recommended in that post. Will this one work and can I use it for my high and lows?

    Rack
    I have been searching and was wondering if there is a roof/bed rack combo that stretches the length of the truck. I have not had luck finding one after a few sessions searching over the past few weeks. I would like to put a roof rack for storage and on the bed rack for a hard top clamshell tend that I can put a 4in + foam mattress in and mount things on top of.

    Bed Mods
    I have seen the Decked system but am wondering if it is worth it or if I could/should build my own. I have carpentry skills. I eventually am wanting a setup for storage on one side, pull out kitchen on the other side. I'm not sure if buy or build is cheaper for the decked like system or the kitchen (e.g. pull kitchen).

    Rear Seats
    I have a dog and am thinking about pulling out the longer of the two seats to build a kennel and place for a freezer. I'm wondering how difficult it is to remove that seat or if they both need to come out together.

    Best!

    All you seek is here my friend. Smash that search button.

    H9 can be retrofit into the low beam H11, albeit with a shorter lifespan but higher intensity. High beams are already H9.

    And welcome to the forum.
