Stock bulbs in a new headlamps are amazing. As for bulbs, I run Sylvania 9006 XV/2 (Sylvania XtraVision) and am very happy with them. Doug

ROAD RAGE
Quote:
This does seem to happen only when the fog lights are on. A few days ago I got flashed twice within 5 minutes! Do the fogs really project outward that far? I have PIAA Ion crystal fogs so if they do project into the sight line of oncoming traffic then I could understand because those are nice and bright. This also seems to happen only on residential roads 30mph or less. The SVX's headlamp display looks awesome, but thier not meant to be stared into! Sometimes I flash back to show them that the highs arent even on Anyways, I'll be installing 9005's tonight, one of my 9006's burned out lastnight and I allways change things in pairs. I don't want to mess w/ the harness themselves but rather the mating surfaces on the bulb so the 9006 harness can slide over it. Am I correct in my assumptions. I love how everyone so far has called this a mod and given no instruction on how to perform it. Is that because the 9005 fit on the 9006 harness? I guess I'll see in a few hours when I get home. |

If I remember correctly the xtravisions are inexpensive.

I just read on the first link how to do the conversion. Looks like all i will need is a pocket knife. Are they o-rings necessary? or can i leave them out. I am willing to spend another 50 on bulbs if this works great.

Cool blues are sylvanias. Anyway, don't bother with the extra o-ring it isn't necessary. Instead of a pocket knife, try a dremel. Takes about 3 minutes for both bulbs.

They think that the high beams are on. They see the two lights and then think it is so. I have amber or the yellow PIAAs and that helps them notice that I have fog lights on too. If I flash back, they usually understand that I don't have the high beams on.

Ok i have completed the 9005 conversion. I bought sylvania silverstars because i didnt see the cool blues there. I'm not to happe because they look like standard halogen yellow bulbs. I loved the blue color of my old bulbs which i saved thank God. The true test comes tonight in night time driving. I will let everyone know how i like em. If i dont then im goin back to the 9006 cool blues i have in my box.

What did you like about the blue color? Headlights are about seeing well at night. The silverstars put out more and brighter light.
Personally I think my vision at night is more important than it looking like i'm pretending that I have HIDs.. when i don't. and its obvious that I don't....
