Hey everyone,
I've been doing a lot of reading about changing our 9005 lows to the 9006 high bulbs, and how effective they are without blinding other drivers.
1. Has anyone whose done this had any issues with melted wiring or anything?
2. How do you do it?
I've searched and cannot find the procedure anywhere.
Thanks all,
Jayman

i think you have that backwards, the 9005 are the high beam and the 9006 are the low beam lights. i did mine over a year ago with no problems so far. if your lights are adjusted right you will not blind oncoming drivers.

You're right I did have it backwards.
Is that link the method that you guys used? Looks like it'* just filing down the inside of the bulb connector, or did I miss something?
My computer at work has terrible resolution and the pics are very small.
Thanks all!!!
