I sawped the bulbs in my low beams (9006) for a set of high beam bulbs (9005) today.

You have to modify the bulbs a little but it only took me 5 min for the first one and less for the second.

I could tell a big diffrence in light on the wall of my garage when I compaired the stock to the 1st one I did.

here is a link on the how toMore Light

I used a sodering gun with a flat blade and wire cutters.
I also put the o-ring on the new bulb from the low beam bulb I took out because with out it the bulb was a little loose in the headlamp.
I also left the old o-ring on the new bulb.

Pictures of your application....so you are running high beams in the stock location....you not worried about blinding people, being a dick, or police?

VXCL

it blinds no one! unless u have them aimed incorrectly to begin with. if he was running 80 watt bulbs or a hid kit is another story. you will have absolutely no probs and no one will high beam you. i said it before and ill say it again. it is by far the cheapest lighting mod that results in great light output. i reccommed using piaa platinum white 9005s, but then it is no longer a $5-10 mod

yup great mod .. im rockin silvania silverstars werk good although 1 blew on me already only takes 5-10 min ... i didnt put a new o ring on ... just used a hot razor blade to cut threw the plastic like butta

I just went for a drive tonight to test the lights out and I have to agree with VXCL.

The increase in light is impressive !!!

Im thinkin agout the piaas now =)

Dont' the 9005's pull a higher temp.?

Did anyone with this mod get higher temp. sockets or wire?

I ask cause I recently burned out both of my headlight sockets simply by using a cheap quality 9006 bulb....just wondering what a 9005 might do to it.(although "cheap quality" might have more to do with it)

how exactly do you do it? i could use a how-to since i have no clue what im doing

Kiljaedoen

you could see the how to if you click the link

Chinisimo

some people have done it and they literally blew up on them. hope it won't happen to you.

CLpower

it's actually common for aftermarket lights to blow up weather you are doing it like this or not. When I use to work at a shop people would come in w/ blown lights ALL THE TIME, that's what steered me away from them.

Awww, just get some HID's!

soooorrrrryyyyyy

i somehow missed that

So are the lights working fine, you havent had them blow on you? I am thinking of doing this mod as well on my 97 cl, just curious?

97Cl22

I'm curious too. Just might do this one. I put some new bulbs in my lights and they look better, but the output isn't anything special.

I have a question for anyone who as done this conversion, what method did you use, because the only method I knew was with a knive or dremmel tool to remove the inner tabs on the socket, i didnt need a soldering iron or washers, what is this mod that uses washers, seems to me if you have to man hanle the actual bulb oils from your fingers get on the bulbs and thats why they blow quickly

Python2121

i just cut off that tab on the inside and that was it

i held the bulb through the plastic bag it came in

rmh3093

yeah thats all i did, i held the bulb by the socket never touching he glass.

Low97CL

has there been any damage done to the wiring or housing? and how long have you been driving with this mod? have you looked at yout sockets lately?

baka_t

H.i.d's own me.

DanMan1464

why do u guys question to do it or not?

it's a CHEAP mod....I did mine in 2 mins when I had it....just cut a few things and your done. If you don't like it, then take them out and put them back in your high beams. Simple.

You are NOT gonna blow jack....i've run up to 100w on low beams and 120w on high beams....ITS FINE!

Your headlight fuses will blow BEFORE anything gets damaged...they're set to that amp fuse rating for a reason.
