Default Dual Headlamp to quad?

Is it possible to do the swap... If so could I run the H11 (low & high bulb) in the low beam part of the quad?(if so, would the high actually work?) And use the High beam light hole for something else???

Anyone have an idea behind it???

im assuming you want to put in the quad headlight housings but retain your dual headlight setup, right?

dual setup uses H13 bulb. quad uses H11 for low & 9005 for hi. not sure if H11 will plug into H13 connector or fit the housing hole. i have an H13, but no H11 to compare it to. so i guess theres only one other way to find out, unless someone else on here knows.

Well ya, just want to use the original bulbs (whatever they are) in the quad setup... I guess relaly the only way of explaining it... I guess I will go look at another truck, and pull the bulb out and see if it'll fit in mine... I dunno, we will see... lol

You can't use the H13 bulbs in the H11 housings, the openings are a different shape. You'd probably be better off with your non-quad headlights if you use your high beams a lot. The high beams on the quad lights suck, actually the fog lights put out more light than the high beams.

The light swap will work; the normal wire plugs into the quad light, where it is split to each beam and bulb and ends with a different connector. Regarding using a dual bulb in one of the quad lights, no it won't work. Just out of curiosity, what do you want to put in the other light?

Do traffic control part time with my truck, and would be an awesome stock look setup for a strobe, instead of drilling into my housing...

Gotcha. Unfortunately I think you're out of luck.
