    9005 -> 9006 conversion guide

    Procedure

    File or chisel tools.
    Sharp knife, blade, soldering iron or Dremel like tool
    2 x 9005 bulbs.
    Protective glasses (you don't want to lose an eye) and gloves
    1. Remove 3mm of plastic from the left of the center until you have 5-6mm of plastic left.

    2. Remove the two guides inside the socket (I used a soldering iron for this. ( I didn't swap O Rings like the other and it worked fine for me)

    3. Install the bulbs in your car and have your light adjusted if not already.
    - I personally have done about 5 conversions and its really easy. just dont burn your self with the soldering iron like i did the first time, it wasnt bad at all just hurt like hell for a sec haha. not even bad enuf for a scar, just red for a day.

    The "Retrofit" is not street legal and can get you in trouble if your area is very strict on car lighting like (accordztech).. You need to make sure that your area will not be looking out for you.
