The 2010 Subaru Outback uses 9005 bulbs in the high beam locations. I have seen suggestions to install the 9011 bulbs in their place, including some notes from Daniel Stern*. My question that I have not seen good info about is what happens with the high beams running in DRL mode on these cars - any impact on the bulb? Oh, one more thing, is the ACDelco 9011 bulb the same as the GM p/n 15094219 as it appears to be on parts sites like Rock Auto?
Thanks!
* The other half of his advice is to install H9 bulbs for the stock H11's in the projector low beams. I am not too worried about increased upper lighting as the stock setup has a low, strong cutoff that leaves signs pretty dark - and me in the dark on rolling country roads as found all over central PA! EDIT - found that is for the Outback SPORT which is not the same as the Outback, which has H7 low beams. Edited to help future Google victims.
