is there realy a noticeable difference? and what brand of bulbs are cheap and do the job? i'm looking for a good bright blue for my 98 accord head lights.

high beam bulbs have more lumens = brighter.... u can do it on any bulb, as long as it is a 9005.... PIAA and silverstars would be bulbs i recommend

I did a 9006 to 9005 coversion with a set of sylvania cool blues back in the day.

The light output was excellent

Cool, sounds like good stuff , I took out my stock fog light bulbd on my cars and replaced them with Modesta 100w H3 bulbs, i think there spossed to be used just to off-road or sumthin it says, but there nice and bright with HID lighting, and they seem to burn less often than the 55W H3 factory

^^ the 100W is too much for your wires, they will melt your wires if on for a long time.


I will do the same(9005 conversion) when my current bulb burns out.

Actually they hab not given me any problems yet, altho i did put a larger fuse in the fuse box for the fog lamps. Anyway i have not had problems.

anything over 65W runs too hot. They've been known to melt harnesses and start fires. 100W in that enclosed, air tight area can't be safe.

The housing on the 01 is all glasswith sum kind of ceramic/composite retainer and metal bracket, and it is venter, well for moisture, the 03 and 04 are made similar so i thought it would be able to take the heat, guessing if the assymbly was made that way, lol i have touched the glass lense on the 01 before thos, freakin almost burned myself, but that was after driving all night in BKK and then driving almost three hours frum BKK home, i kno it generates heat. But why do they make 100w bulbs if they are bad? I doubt the wires will melt. Oh yeah early this morn , well like 10 hours ago, about 2 sumthing in the morn i was put my new HID lamp assembly on my car and checkin the lights and stuff, i decided to take a smoke, there was no moon out but i could see all the stars. Then i looked at sumthin that resembled the big or little dipper, im guessin. And i looked lower and saw this light. It seemed odd, it was brighter than the other stars but flickerin in and out as if it was turning and moving and seemed to have like an HID light color to it. I stood there and watched for a bit and to me it did indeed seem to be moving, not fast, but moving but very far out. I dont think it was the after affect or seting my lights and lookin at them 2 closelly?Anyway i was freaked out.Ive never screamed b4 but i think if sumthin weird happens ill scream at the top me lungs!!!

show use only ... they're not meant to be kept on for hours of use.


why does Rota make rims that crack when autocrossing? Because they're for show use only.

how do you convert 9006 to 9005 ? this is interesting
