Default Whats a good (legal) replacement blub for a H11(until Silverstars come out this fall)

Hi,

I've replaced the 9005 (hi beam) and the 9145 (fogs) on my quad headlamp SLT with Silverstars. The low however is a H11 and the SilverStars for it will not be out for a few more months according to Sylvania.

Anybody know any other manufacturers that make a H11 that has a color temp of around 4000 to 4100 K like the SilverStars??

Thanks!!!

ST's and some SLT's have a headlight that looks different and uses the same bulb for high/low beams. If equipped some have quads which are separate bulbs for high/low beams.

Man why would you want to provoke people flicking hi beams at you, I get it already , I wish they weren't so bright now, maybe an eye check would be in order? LOL J/K

The low beams on the Quad Lights of my SLT BigHorn package are not the worlds best for illuminating the road ahead far enough to safely do 55-65mph. In fact, the seem to be aimed too low with my truck's stock suspension. But I haven't dug into the fenders to determin if there is a simple aiming screw.
The answer for the folks on this thread is to Up the Candle Power.
Myself, I'd like to be a little conscientious of the oncoming traffic before throwing in a set of HIDs. My daily driver is a low-slung car, and here in Arizona I've endured my fair share of overly super-bright oncoming truck headlights. So, I'm still undecided on how I'll address my Ram's headlights.
