    Hello everyone!
    Has anyone ever tried to swap out H11 with H9 bulb on lowbeams?H9 is brighter and is 65w with 2100 lumens compared to H11 which is 55w 1350lumens.The fitting on H9 is the same as H11 just gotta do litle correction.So my question is....since my truck is set for H11 bulbs on the low beams is it gonna hurt anything cuz of the highier temperature that H9 works and is it gonna throw any check light on because of it?I've seen people doing this on cars and they are way happier with those H9 although they have shorter life however are cheaper than H11!

    Your truck will not even know what bulbs are in the headlights. So go for it.
