I was wondering if anyone has done an H11 to H9 conversion. I know that the H9 is 65W and H11 is 55W but people on auto forums have done it without any damage to wiring or sockets or housings.
Found on one of the following links:

going from 55w to 65w. Equates to around .1 amp. The reason for swapping is the difference in lumen output. There are other threads that discuss in detail, but you end up getting roughly 50% more light output.

I find the low beams on our Mazda6 is a bit lacking, and was wondering about this...
(I previously thought the LB bulb on this car was a 9006, which I could have easily swapped for a same wattage HIR2(9012) bulb, but the car has H11 for LB and not 9006)
