Review on πŸ”¦ Philips H9 Standard Halogen Replacement Headlight Bulb, 1 Pack - 12361B1 by Chris Santos

Revainrating 5 out of 5

These magic lanterns will turn you into illuminati and criminals!

Now there's a chance you're buying them for their true purpose: to replace your lamps. If so, then everything is fine. But if you followed the hidden paths of Youtube and came here as a hopeful member of the secret Illuminati Autolumen Club, your journey is almost over. Get them and a precise knife, and new worlds will open up for you. Well, if not new worlds, then at least a few tens of yards down the road on a dark night. Yes, DOT says you'll gouge your eye out. Others say using it in high beam headlights causes hair to grow on your palms. Here is one of them that happened to me, I won't say which one, but still I have no regrets! Oh, and hell with the naysayers, DOT allows for much brighter HID and OEM LED high beam headlights. Note: 1) Since they are brighter, at least make sure your headlights aren't pointed higher than they should be. 2) You can buy four and trim all four as they are only expected to last about 50% of the h11 length. 3) They don't work well in cases that don't have their own reflector. The wife's Forester (rated by consumers as the factory headlight with the worst durability of any SUV) has a reflector. So you're perfect at it. but since the h9 doesn't have a reflector in the bulb like the h11, you'll get poorer illumination if you put it in a housing without a reflector in front of the bulb.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • No
