John 1:9 says "The true Light who gives light to every man was coming into the world." This refers to the present tense.
For context, John the Baptist had come as a witness to testify about the Light according to John 1:6-8. At this point, Jesus was already 30 years old (Luke 3:23, John 1:35-37) by the time he had began his ministry.
So John 1:9 refers to the true Light coming into the world in the present tense, yet Jesus had already been in the world for 30 years.
The True Light gives light to all men and John 1:30 says Jesus is a man.
This means John 1:1-14 is about about the word of God manifesting in a man as just as 1 John 1:1-3 more plainly say.
All of this means Jesus isn't God. He isn't the True Light.
Who is the True Light? The True Light is God. God is the Father. He is the only true God, but Jesus is the one He sent.

3Now this is eternal life, that they may know You,[Father] the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.
