    Welcome to the forum!

    The H9 conversion is generally agreed to be the best solution for the headlights, as you're staying with a halogen bulb.

    I switched to the low-beam H9's on our 2020 4R, I couldn't tell any difference compared to the OEM bulbs, at least while sitting in the driveway. I haven't driven it at night yet, is the difference more apparent on the highway vs shining against the garage door?

    I definitely noticed the difference the first time I drove at night. It's probably more noticeable when it's actually illuminating the road unlike the stock bulbs.
