    for the usdm lamps, what accordztech is doing, is swapping a 9005 into the 9006 spot. i have jdm lamps, so im not gonna be able to do the same, so im gonna try fitting an H1 into an H4 spot.

      that will not do anything, the filaments wont line up and the light output will have dark and light spots... horrid for vision. youd make things worse.. not any better..

        hmm i just had a talk w/ xplode on aim, he cleared it up... the h1 isnt any brighter/better than the H4, its the same wattage, its just the housing that its in- putting an H1 bulb in my H4 spot wont make anything better. the reason the 9005 is better than the 9006 is because it IS a higher wattage.

          yes... ztech your giving out false information again The only reason the 9005 swap works is by puttin more lumens onto the road in the same place that you had light before.. it did not mess up the beam pattern.. just put more light where you already had it.

              I completed this conversion but haven't installed yet. Waiting on my new alternator to arrive

                  I was force to do this same thing when i bought extra high beam bulbs. Good to see some one did a diy for it. Recommend for low budget folks.
