thanks for the response,
is there a proper way to align your lights?
like park so far away, and measure how high the lights line up ona wall?

i did it its fine

as for adjustments i just put it on the road and adjust to my liking....

Just park it in front of a wall and get your line flat and somewhat in line with your hood. 9005's are the ish...I really want HID's though.

9005 bulbs are fine to run. Just shave off the necessary things, plug in and you're good. If you're going to run silverstar bulbs, I highly suggust you clean them correctly before you put them in, just follow the instructions that come with the lights. It'll greatly increase the life of your bulbs.

As far as adjustments, i didn't do anything. I had them run without the blackhousings for a while too, never got flashed.

Sorry for jackin your thread, but what does this conversion consist of

Buying high beam bulbs, taking a knife or dremel and shaving down some plastic tabs on the bulbs so that you can fit them into the low beam bulb harness. It gives you a hell of a lot more light, without blinding everyone.
