Is it possible to put 9006 bulbs in highbeam?

[thestockcb7]

I want to run my "high beams" on with my low beams but I don't want to blind other drivers. I like the look of having the full headlight instead of just squares also and I could use the extra lighting if there was any given by putting them in. Putting in LED's is also an option I guess too, I've seen Quashish's CB have them but I dislike the naked LED bulb in the daytime. Would I get more lighting if I were to be able to put 9006's in the highbeam and is it possible? I've never needed high beams personally ever so it won't be a problem not having them.

Its possible. But you will still blind people at night cause there is no shield blocking the front part of the bulb.

You could completely Blackhouse the high beam bucket then not have to worry About using a different bulb at all.

Or do you want to change high beam to low beam and then kinda use your low beam bucket as the high?

Ohh yeah forgot about the Sheild. Could fab one up or unscrew it from the low and jb weld it in place in the high or something

Completely off topic but since we are on the subject of high beams, anyone know the easiest way to run the high beams only without the low beams on too? Sort of like a DRL for the DA look.

Cut the wires going to the low beams and install a switch.

Keep in mind that high beams during the day is still annoying as fuck. DRLs are high beams run at low power, so they're not full brightness.

why would you want to look like the dumbass that doesn't realize their high-beams are on?

[JFrost7]

oops i apologize guys, I wouldn't intend to use 9005 bulbs. I would replace them for LED's which are not nearly as bright at all and wouldn't affect other drivers.

[deevergote]

You could always drill new holes in your housings to mount small LEDs wired to a switch or relay. Then you could essentially have your LED DRLs without losing the functionality of the actual high beams.

Or find a DRL system from Canada(as they are required to have them) and install it into the existing wiring.

[deevergote]

Now you're just talking nonsense, Ralphie! That would actually be the reasonable and effective way of doing it!

[JFrost7]

yeah i completely understand thats the correct way of doing it, but the kits get extremely expensive so i was lookin for a way to cheap out on it since its not really as important as suspension and such.

OP,

Not sure where you live but if you have to get your car inspected annually then you will more than likely have to have a high and a low. Might want to check into that first before doing anything too crazy.
