Default Headlamp Low beam P/N

I want to upgrade to the HIR 9012 bulbs for my low beam bulbs but the application chart says that the low beams are H11's. Does anyone know if a 9006 is equivelant to an H11?

These bulbs are suppose to be the best setup next to HID which are exspensive and time consuming to install, any help is appreciated. Check out http://hirheadlights.com/ to read up on this bulb.

Thanks

I doubt the 9006 is interchangeable w/ the H11.

I looked at the 9006 and H11 at Advance Auto today and they are slightly different in the base.

From what I've heard on the forums, it's not too bad if you have small hands. You do have to remove the air box on the psgr side tho.

Arrow best halogen replacement bulbs

I, like many others, can't stand how short the life is on the Sylvania SilverStar Ultras. I've upgraded to SOLUX technology which lasts as long as standard halogen rather than only around a year like the Ultras. They're not super-white or blue-ish but that has nothing to do with true brightness. That said, they're definitely brighter...they advertise 80% brighter yet street legal, longest beam and best replication of daylight (4600k) of any halogen style bulb. So far, so good - I love them...especially on my high-beams...and I live in the country and use my lights quite a bit.
