So I was screwing around with my headlights the other day, and I came across an interesting idea: What if I stuck my brights 9005 headlights in the 9006 place to make them brighter? Turns out its a perfect fit (with a little jiggle) >> !!! It's F***ing Sweet! They are just as bright as those luxury cars!! Pretty cool! However you don't have brights anymore but you don't need them with your headlights so bright! I also installed a Purpleish tinted headlight 9005 and it looks kinda sweet! Just an idea! >>

be careful you don't burn out your wires and bulbs those 9005's are 65w where the 9006's are 55w. That extra power may cause some problems.

no, I have a wire harness and I took the 9005 wire w/ bulb and pluged it into the 9006 slot! >>

Ok im editing everything. Are you talking about HID? Cuz its impossible to get the lumen out put of an HID with halogen lights.

Secondly, if u dont need brights, its going to blind other drivers. Take some pics.

ok, it is kinda street legal, i did it to mine a wekk after i bought my car.. you dont have to mess with the wires, all you have to do is.. in side the plastic peace of the bulb, there isa plastic tab, just melt it or somthint o get ride of...then plug right in... The reason it is brighter, is because the low beam bulbs have a cap on them, and the high's dont.... simple as that... an it does help

Yeah, driving with your high beams on is not cool...especially if you're following someone, because there's not much that they can do. They can't flash you or anything. If you guys want to "floss" your cars, I suggest city lights in your high beams. >>

Oh, and about running the higher wattage bulbs, the safe thing to do would be to install a couple SPDT automotive relays and run new wires to the headlights that are a thicker gauge. >>

I had the idea that if you were low enough to where family cars could blind you fron behind, that some brighter bulbs wouldn't even make it TO the other driver's eves...

not that i did this, but i was thinking about JDM projectors

whether or not it's disrespectful of other drivers, or if it's dangerous...
