9005 to 9005 low beam conversion

Estimated time: ~30 min

Tools:
Dremel / cutting tool
Knife or blade

With this conversion you should be able to increase your output from your stock halogens by a lot. Take a look at the 9005 bulb as opposed to the 9006. Notice how the 9005 has the tip covered in that grey stuff, essentially cutting down on light output.

Instructions:



1. Take your 9006 bulbs and compare them with the 9005. Notice how the top notch on the 9006 is a bit smaller than the 9005, also note that the 9005 has two "prong" thingies inside. Take your dremel or cutting utility and cut a bit off the top notch, maybe a cm or so. Then file down the two prongs inside. Put the bulbs back in, replacing the 9005's with the 9006's and you're done.

Note: when I did this with my stock halogens I notice a significant difference in brightness, when I did it with some aftermarket superwhites, I couldn't really tell. Others on this board have, so just take that into consideration.

 

just realized that he wanted to make his high beams 9006, not the other way around..oh well, this info should be helpful anyways for anyone wanting to do this mod

 

i hate the idea of this mod...

i did it and i really regret it , i didnt melt anything but i think its just a bad idea overal

 

oh.... i wanted to switch over my 9006 HID's to my highbeams while i buy some JDM HID's

 

why???

 

They will fit rite in no mods needed.

 

foo real.... oh nutz lemmy try

 

NOT it cant fit

 

high beam conversion is what im talking about.

what is JDM HID >

9005 in a 9006 socket is bad news.. i switched back because i dont like hte idea

of possibly melting a harness.

 

It should fit mine fit

 

ill try harder.... for the JDM HID's, ill check what brand it is when i stop by the detailing store
