I think when people refer to the 9005 conversion... they mean taking out the 9006 bulbs and replacing them with the higher wattage 9005 bulbs... hmmm maybe u can look into day time running lights that are on the canadian integras???

oh and when i mentioned marker lights i meant like the 194/168 lights that are on the bumper. these lights don't illuminate anything... they're just there as a "marker" so people can see your car... just like side markers.

 

hmm...making the highbeams marker lights...sounds good to me....can I still retain myhighbeams if I do this....

I am going to do the 9005 conversion....

OPINIONS: 98 USDM teg front end on an EG hatch...yes or no??? pics anyone...

 

I don't know how much work you're willing to put in here, but I believe the motto of our generation of car modders is "Anything is possible with enough $$"
That said, I wonder if you could do a reverse 9005 conversion, e.g. put 9006s in the high beam slots. So now what you have is dim bulbs pointed up, and dim bulbs pointed down. It seems to me that this would be no brighter than any suv headlights I've had in my face.
Then, since we were talking about it, you could use a wiring harness from a Civic and put the dual-filament Civic bulb in the old low-beams housings. Now the only problem becomes keeping the inner lights (former high beams) on all the time, and re-wiring the switch to turn on the dual-filaments when you flick the stalk. To me, this sounds like too much work just to have all your lights on at the same time, but whatever you want, it's your car. I'd probably just grab some OEM fogs, kinda the same effect :thumbup:

Sumimasen for the long post.

I was thinking of somehow putting the small 194/168 bulbs inside my high beam housing so i can use it as a city light kinda deal... but i just looked at the housing just now... and i dunno if it'll be possible. if you drill a hole, you run the risk of cracking the chrome housing inside. however, there is a point where the chrome part stops and its just nothing by rigid clear plastic (about 2 inches from the front of the housing). it may be possible to drill a hole in the rigid clear plastic part and run the bulb socket and wires through that hole... but to do this u'll have to take off the front bumper in order to get to the rigid clear plastic part. I hope i made sense.. heheh.

oh yeah... if you look in the "Official Integra Forum pic post thread" and look on the 3rd page... it looks like trinispeed somehow illuminated his highbeam housing. maybe u can ask him how he did it?
