55w=12VxIx1
I=4.583A
.833A difference. not huge, but appreciably more than .1 of an amp

I stand corrected...slipped a decimal point. eace

Although the stock lights in my T4R are world's better than even 35 buck Sylvania bulbs in my 2012 wrangler. ..I still plan on doing this mod very soon!

So I got the bulbs in this week and it finally stopped raining. I trimmed one H9 bulbs and afterward they plugged in fine to the stock bulb connector and housing. I just replace the passenger side (easiest to get to) and waited for it to get dark to take photos.
Please note I have a 2014 with the projector housing. Below are the results in ISO 200 and 400. Remember, the right side is the H9, left is H11 (stock)
Verdict? At least for the 2014+ with projectors, I can't tell the difference. Not worth the effort at least IMHO.
ISO 200
ISO 400

Well poop....I JUST TODAY placed my order for these bulbs and was excited to do this mod on my 2015 TE. I got home and thought I'd review the thread again to refresh my memory and then saw this last post about the mod not being that effective on 2014-15's with the projector headlamps.
Now that you've lived with it for a week or so, what are your thoughts of real world use (not just driveway results)? Did it make a difference? Theoretically it would have to given the higher wattage / higher output, but perhaps the design of the newer headlamp housings somehow negate the difference in output. ?????

Another thought, I guess replacing the high beams (with the 9011's) should be as theoretically effective on the 2014/15's as on the 2010-13's since they aren't projector housings - just traditional housings. Make sense?

Not worth the effort? It takes 10 minutes and costs less than the change in the cupholder. I see a noticeable difference when off road, not so much when looking at the lights on a flat wall, but appreciably more light on the road. My night visibility is currently better than some LEDs and almost as good as some HIDs. I can't vouch for this simple upgrade enough.
PS, does anyone know what happened to
@ eddiebx
? Hasn't been heard from since May and he was very active (and helpful.)

are the 9011 know by another designation.....EDIT never mind also called HIR1.... but alass headlightbulbs does not have either designation on there site...
Searching on Google it is easy to find a 9011.
However to maintain the same K scale/look/brightnesses on bulbs I prefer to order from the same place like headlightbulbs.com which I have heard have very good bulbs for very good prices.

Even though I traded the 4R, this forum is still helping me. Thanks fellas.
Also, I ordered an extension harness for an H9 socket. This way I can just modify the harness on one end and don't need to modify the H9 bulbs each time.
