It doesn't effect your highbeams at all. They are 2 seperate bulbs.

Dude your headlights are aimed horribly, pull them up a little bit, our headlights are some of the best designed beam patterns I've ever seen. Just start adjusting them up sometime at night until they reach out as far as possible.

I did this a couple days ago to my new projectors and it made a huge difference.
I wish I found out about it when I had my stock headlights.

I did this conversion a while back and I love it. I can tell a big diff. I have the regular bulbs in the "low" one and the halogens in the high and it is mega bright. Can't wait to try it with some super whites.

Also I gound it is easier to just clip the tab with some cutters and melt the inside tabs with a sodering iron.

nice!! /\ /\ /\ - not all of us own a dremel ;)

Nice mod... I might have to do that to my projectors... :cool:

Over the weekend, I did a little headlight conversion too... not quite like yours though. Me and my friend (JDM 4g4d) both did this convertion to our cars. We put the low beams in the high beam spot, and vise versa. When I was done, I had to aim my headlights down because the highbeams are pointed up a little bit more than the lowbeams are. I notice quite a bit of difference with it done like this... it gives me a better viewing area at night. I think next week I am going to get yellow headlight bulbs like JDM 4g4d has, to give it a JDM look at night. Here is a pic of my car with my "conversion" done.

Here is JDM 4g4d's car with the same conversion with the yellow bulbs that I want.

arent the high beams weaker now?

oh yea and the only mod ive done to mine is rewiring the bumper lenses to a switch.

did it to my moms car too, but on the low fillament setting with stock bulbs, hers has no problems, but REALLY doesnt offer any additional lighting benefit

I put my car back to stock though cause they started melting the housing, and didnt actually offer much of an additional lighting benefit. I also didnt really like the super fast blinker action.

i thought that i could do this mod, but as i went out to look at my projectors, i already have 9005 bulbs there, humm... anyone else have this done to there projectors...

thats sweet i may have to do that here soon....

In that picture my car is sitting on the street, right in front of it is a curb about 6''-8'' tall which you can't see in that picture I guess. So thats why it looks like my lights aren't pointed right.

my first set of projectors (which i wrecked) had low and high bulbs in the correct places. but my second set had highs in both spots, and already were modified to fit. they work well.
