Changing Maxima SL high beam to LED H11?

I’m looking to change my stock high halogen high beam bulb to an aftermarket LED however I couldn’t find any H9 led bulbs.

I found a decent H11 led bulbs for the high beam but I am not sure if it will work at all, and if I will need to do any adjustments/cutting or a simple plug and play will work.

please let me know as it’s the first time trying it.

thanks.

so did you simply install it, plug and play, or did you have to cut/trim any part of the connectors or anything else before installing it?



I got Hikari H11 (H8,H9) LED, any views on it?

i personally didn't but that's just me. I have semi smaller hands so i reached in. it was VERY tight and hurt a little bit without removing anything for better access. I didn't like the hikari i put in an 03 Camry. I went with the beamtech because they do not have a fan and run silently.

Okay, thanks!
I'll see if I can exchange for beamtech as well then

Recently installed some from Diodedynamics. Cost $150 for the set, great bright color that is very close to the DRL color. Most reviews that i saw or read had them ranked in the top 3.

The Top photo is factory LED Low Beams and aftermarket LED Fog lights (same brand I linked my fog lights get some moisture in them but my High beams don’t have that issue) and the lower picture is Factory Low Beam LED and the Aftermerket LED High Beams that I linked.

Had anyone "blink you"? The lamps in the bottom photo look like they would blind oncoming traffic.

considering I have them as brights I usually switch them back to regular. But to answer your question not at all.
