I have the same headlights. What size bulb is this?

Your welcome.

Please note rule #1 for ordering LED bulbs
1. Always take your bulb out to verify that your ordering the correct bulb.

Example: the fog lights in our (early build) 2016 Jeep Cherokee ARE NOT the same bulb as our daughter-in-laws (late build) 2016 Jeep Cherokee

So i hate these lights. Just did 2600 miles and drove down to FL from MA at night. These lights look brighter against dry pavement or at pitch black out. With on coming traffic head lights and other vehicles you can’t see anything. I dont recommend these lights. Trip home i had to drive during the day.

Thx for the review. I haven't upgraded our ACE headlights yet and I will now put these in the file!

Yes against the garage or hand you see the difference. But when it hits the ground the light only hits 3’ in front of the cab. And if the pavement is wet forget about seeing anything but the reflection of the painted lines.

I have installed the lights and have tested during camping trips in very dark conditions, the color is very white compared to the halogen OEM lights below, very white 6500K and dispersed beam laterally. It seems like the peripheral vision is much better. I haven't driven in dark conditions on the roadways that are wet. I will and see how far the beam is. I kept the OEM lights and can replace back if necessary.

I was impressed with this video below and specially like the way the side rails and left lane line are illuminated. Maybe an additional set of fog lights would be in order.

So I did some research last night and found that a lot of people had the same problem with LED headlights in the Projector. Outside of the projector is a different story. Thats why when you watch some youtube videos or read reviews these people dont have projectors and say the light output is amazing.

My upper lights are my driving lights (first picture) they have the prism lens. The middle are my high beams right picture), and the lower are my directional signal third picture.

I only replaced my low beams with LED. The high beams were fine.

Ok yes thats how mine are as well. I tried putting the led in the high beam location and it worked but the beam would be wrong. So they use the same bulb for high and low H9.
