[s-cars] 9011 9012 lamps

[Tim Dahm]

Dave,
I have the 9012 bulbs on hand and 9011's on the way, so I will be 
finding out if heat will be a problem in the DOT housing.
Wattage ratings are the same as the respective 9005/6 so maybe heat will 
not be an issue?  I will also be running relays with
12 guage wire from alternator output to the bulbs so they will be 
receiving full voltage.  I may even get brave and try a 9011
high in the low position.

And on that basis, I wouldn't considered going to the 9011 (2500 lumen) high beam conversion or a wicked  low beam conversion unless there is some temp data to tell me I won't be melting my DOT housings.
