    Has anybody done the low beam mod by removing the h11bulb and installing a 9005 or the h9 bulb in it's place.

    Not nearly enough room here!
    65 Watt H9 bulb instead of 55 Watt H11.Last time I bought H 9's,Amazon had the best price on Philips "Standard" bulb. A Dremel makes the mod really simple.Do a search for H 11 to H 9.

    Not at all. But it is a quite noticeable upgrade.
    You'll be happy with it.
    I got the Philips Xtreme Vision.

    Looks like an easy enough mod if the light output is greater.

    Just ordered an inexpensive rotary tool so I can give this a try.

    Any advice on which H9 bulbs work best?

    Sorry, got mixed up on my own mod!
    I kept the H11 bulb in my low beam, I talked to a guy named Daniel Stern (google him) and he helped me out. He said the upgrade should only be done if you have projector headlamps. With regular reflective lamps like in my '12 Tundra, he recommended against it just because of blinding everyone. The bulbs I recommended before is what he suggested for a H11.
    I did upgrade my high beams however.
    They are a 9005 and I upgraded to a 9011. Huge upgrade. Same thing, just use a dremel to make a tiny adjustment and they slide right in. Same wattage, different output. Hope this helps.
