*Sigh*

WTF is it wif yunguns these days? Not nary-a sign o' common sense, common manners, ner common grammar. A feller'd be hayf-way lible ta overlook the latter if'n it weren't for the former. Given ye incest-ant persistin' in a-carryin' on wif the former, I jist cain't see clur t'hep ye none.

Try again, snowflake.

Refer to: http://www.sylvania.com/en-us/applic...partnumber=H11

If yer told - or believe - differently, you'd simply be ignoring physics and reality, while sucumbing to marketing BS. E-bay replacements? Rilly?

You could try factory integrated LED replacements - see: https://www.f150online.com/forums/il...swap-free.html

OR - new option: http://www.f150forum.com/f118/adding...5/#post4015054

Lastly - and I stress that TRS does NOT recommend these fer low-beams - high beams only ( a beam pattern mismatch / glare problem ), you could try these in yer 9005 hi-beam position: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/led...l#.VPMWRXzF_m4.

You asked aboot it here, albeit using chitty fleabay parts (and received no reply): http://www.f150forum.com/f118/adding...4/#post3952132

^^^ This was probably a mistake, as I suspect yer gonna try 'em in ye low-beams anyway, given ye track record to-date (see below). But - I'm all aboot a-sharin' in-fo-may-shuns n'sich.

Incidentally - You could also try using terms like 'Howdy', 'please' and 'thanks' in yer requests for help. Unless it's too much of a burden for you.... works wonders y'know.

***EDIT***: Ahhhh... I see you've been getting the same answers 'over there', and reckon yer not liking what you were told - so trying ye luck here? No common courtesies over there either, lol. Multi-posting, cross-posting, oh my. Rickey - this is exactly the 'mess' I was referring to. This OP feller's a poster child fer forum conduct. LMAO !

... and many more, lol.

Gorden, ye sure ye know WTF ye doin'? Reckon ye need to stop trying to mod ye truck befer ye burn it to the gorund wif ye 'ectrical tom-boogery. I'm serious and concerned for ye here - seriously, now. 100-watt headlight bulbs? Seriously????

OP - reckon this isn't 'over there'... we like to keep it clean, civil and neighbourly, aight? Thankee fer ye co-operation.

good luck
Ol' Bubber
You forgot HIR 1 9011 to replace the 9005 and H9 to replace the H11.
^ that will give you the best output, same color as stock but with more lumens

This was probably the dumbest thing you could have done... I did it once when I was young and dumb. After a year of not seeing well I went back to stock, then went into to bigger and better things.
