Quad headlight bulb upgrade recommendation.

[meedom]

Just looking for suggestions on what bulbs would be a good upgrade in my
stock Bighorn headlights??

Look for the H11 to H9 bulb mod for the low beams. Good, low dollar improvement..

following, as I am about to crack open an extra set of OEM quads I picked up for $40. Figured I would learn on an extra set!

I have these in my quads now if you are in a bulb only change?

Also a coupon code if you decide to buy them. Im not a seller I just really like these bulbs. Im in the middle of a D2S retrofit but these lights when you flip them to yellow really light up everything. here is a video, again not me.

WilliamS, how much brighter would you say they are over stock? Were they easy to install, did you have to remove the headlights?
Also depending on how you answer my questions I think I'm just going to order them, can you send me the coupon code??

This is an easy upgrade and worth it.

So are we just talking about going from the stock H11 halogen bulb to an H9 halogen bulb??

I just go with the H9s. You won't a lot of marketing around them, I can only find very basic bulbs at my auto part stores. Its a very easy mod, you just clip a little tab off at the bulb housing. I use little gate cutters I get from work. Its a vast improvement over the stock bulbs, and I got a year out of my last pair. Can usually replace both for less than 20.00 if you buy from Amazon.

ABSOLUTELY!!! I did this too!!!

 

[2016Bighorny]

I even used a plug n play harness for no cutting and direct swap!!

 

[meedom]

You guys recommend any particular brand on the H9's??

 

[BlkZrx]

All I could find was the Basic Sylvania brand H9 bulb. Still much better then stock H11.

Much brighter especially when flipped to yellow. No matter what bulbs you need to remove the housings. My 2014 didn’t need any cancellers or error resistors. Did lose some fm reception but I’m a Spotify guy.

Also the code is in my post.

Last thing is when you aim them choose the color you will use the most as the white and the yellow do aim different for some reason.

The yellow is amazing in the rain and dark. I aimed for the white to be a tad low so she can use the yellow and only tiny cars get my wrath if I want the visibility. The yellow negates my high beams because of how well everything pops when the yellow is on.

Also it’s amazon, you got 30 days to return. You won’t have to though. Silly bright for cheap leds and I’ve had them a few months and they are still doing great zero issues

I used Sylvanias too.

 

[zrfraser]

I've used Phillips and Sylvania, both work fine.

 

[appzattak]

Sylvania Silverstar Ultra is the way to go. They are better that the Phillips. Ive tested em both. I have the Silverstar Ultra in my hi, low and fogs...they are great. I often am flashed by drivers thinking my brights are on.

Couple things I've found.. Silverstars don't last long if you drive at night a lot. H9's are half the price,
