I was running it for nearly 6 months prior to my HIDs. MUCH better light output over stock.

kool so it does work and i wont blow a fuse thxs....but it is much brighter like super noticable or is a light less brighter than hids....i don't know if cops will bust me for it cuz i live on campus....do you have any picks of them and wat the look like in the car....

[CB7_91/DX]

i did that before. not a big difference

[Gecko1]

oso is it worth it then cuz i have the low beam white lights and i wanted to change my low beam to the high beam because like i said its really not bright at all and i checked to make sure it was nothing else and its not so was thinking of the conversion

[JoshM]

Yes, there is a big difference in light output between 9005 and 9006.

i guess the only way to find out will be to do it.....thanks guys

If I didn't have HIDs, I would still be running 9005s. Did it for a long time, never had a problem.

Just make sure your lights are aimed correctly, or you're going to piss off other drivers! (and if you come across someone like me... you're going to get swerved at... )

ha ha naw i think my car is to low to bother anyone....but will they look really bright if i get the sylivans ultra white brights....i did one of the oem ones i had laying around and it looks much better and brighter but not to sure wat the ultra whites will look like...where is a good place to get them at...cuz i bought some 9006 of ebay and the worked for about two months and it burnt out....

theres a huge difference over the 9006's. i've had this done for about 6 months or so.

I used Silverstars and regular bulbs. The Silverstars were nice and white, but regular Sylvania 9005s actually had better output.

[Gecko1]

so which one was the best to go with for visability silverstar or sylvania

[deevergote]

Sylvania makes Silverstars...

But honestly, I would go with the regular 9005 bulbs. Not only are they a fraction of the price, but I felt the light output was better (that means better visibility).


Also, don't touch the glass when modifying the bulbs. The oil on your fingers will cause the bulbs to blow out very quickly.

I personally would not do this.

I have seen them burn up several harnesses over time.
