Hi Alan,

I looked up your bulb types on AutoZone as Google put AutoZone at the top of the sort.

High beams: H9
Low beams: H11

Would you recall the LED bulb brand you had in the headlamp bulb chamber?

I'm no expert at these LED lights yet I'm am done with incandescent halogen lighting.

Maybe the two best folk here to ask are:
B.B. - Likes Hikari brand for now, yet B.B. is a tech reviewer for these and his opinion changes as he buys LEDs and uses them.
David Stevens - Likes Auxito brand.

I have Auxito bulb in the crappy Ford US DOT crappy 1986+ 240 housing. The lighting is nearly normal and like other 21st century auto car headlamp lighting.

Both 9004 LED headlamp brands are rated at 10,000-12,000 lumen for the set of bulbs. The lux is excellent for the Auxitos in the 1991 240 headlamp where the beam cast lands, Stripes, fog lines, and signs. These bulbs are 6000°K so 'white'. I've read more yellow LED bulbs may be better in the snow as the longer wavelength reveal more or allows you to see farther than more white or bluer bulbs in °Kelvin.

Else, I'll ping B.B. and David Stevens and they can help you better.

I used Sylvannia SilverStar 9004 bulbs for years. New in the 9004 crappy US DOT Ford design crappy 1986 240 headlamps in no way compares to LED. I was worried LEDs would be illegal and would blind oncoming motorists. Not at all!

The LED bulb companies call LED headlamp for off road use and ignore that. Crappy US DOT was anti-import and pro domestic and allows Tesla crappy carS on the road that have battery modules burning down in the cars and OTR trucks and crashing and killing dumb dumb motorists using auto drive while they play video games and eat chips and salsa.

Hope that helps.
