What’s the headlight code on 2011 ranchers? I have heard 9005 but I’m not 100% sure on that
There is no aftermarket bulb for the 2011 rancher unless you want to spend $200 on an Eagle Eye HID kit.

NO automotive bulb, including a 9005, is a direct fit.

Honda specific bulb. You can modify some automotive bulbs to fit using silicone to seal them up, or you can buy the Eagle Eye HID kit.

Or build your own and have better output all for less money than the Eagle Eye Kit.

Also just a FYI, Eagle Eye will NOT sell you just the bulbs, so if you have a bulb burn out you have to buy a entire kit.

Before building my lights i tried ordering just the bulbs because i had all the other parts needed already and they told me they dont sell just the bulbs that i would need to buy a complete kit. Thats when i decided to build mine im glad i did now!

Back when they first came out they offered to sell me the bulbs separately. They were $45 each, 6K color, 35W.

I still have the email. Was back in 2013
That price is insane! No way in hell are they even remotely close to that price. I guess they can corner the market when there the only people to offer them. I paid i think $40 for the H1 bulbs for my projectors which are the brightest H1 bulb on the market and there quality is second to none!

If anyone has a burnt out or broken Eagle Eye HID bulb i would be glad to pay shipping for it. Id like to send it to the guy that makes the bulbs im running to see if he could make them for you guys! I would bet my house that his kits are much better quality than Eagle Eye and if they were to be priced around the same as his vehicle kits they would be cheaper than Eagle Eye also.

I have a factory Honda lower bulb. Would that work?

There isn’t a real need for me to change the bulbs, I just don’t like the little bit of yellow light trying and I mean trying to fight my 22” lightbar, the yellow light is obviously failing but I wanted something a tiny bit better without turning on the light bar and blinding all of the people I ride with

I put HID's in my lowers using that thread I posted above. Hooked them into the tail light wires so they're on anytime the headlight switch is on, regardless of the hi/lo switch position.

Then wired my lightbar into the high beam wires.

So lows are lower headlights only, highs are both lowers and light bar at the same time.
