I did
Philips H9s for the low beams to replace the factory long life H11s
Philips 9011 high beams to replace the stock 9005
as well as a slight height adjustment on the passenger side light.

Very happy with the light output, much easier to see.

did you have to cut the tab out of the H-9 to get them to work?

Yes there is a very slight modification to both bulbs, but nothing intense or anything that took more than a few seconds.
Do you know how and what to trim or do you need that information?

I upgraded my bulbs only to 8500k xenon super white. I did the same bulb color for low, high and fog lights. It puts out a lot of white light and really helped my night driving. I did not aim the lights up at all since they were set by the dealer when the leveling kit was put on. I got my bulbs from Autolumination.com they are a dealer in quality bulbs and LED's and are really inexpensive. I ordered two complete sets in case one burns out but I have put them in all my other vehicles and they have lasted years.

I will message you the info.
Amazon is good for buying, they are just standard bulbs so nothing special except how much more light their is for cheap.

It is a small trim if I remember correctly - need a small knife/razor blade and side cutters.
It has been a few years since I did the mod (2016 I think), still going strong, I do remember it only took a few minutes to do.
