Cut them and splice them together. This offers a better connection.

Hey guys, I just recieved the lows and hi's and purchased 9006 bulbs, but the bulbs that came with the fixtures are 9006 and have a straight plug. the higher temp bulbs that I purchased separately are 9006 bust the recieving plug is right angled and doesn't fit in the stock baskets. What have you guys done to make this work?

Coppertone

Anybody having the same problem as I'm having?

Thanks man, so is that what you guys are doing to fit the aftermarket 9006 bulbs as well?

Coppertone

Every 9006 bulb I see is a right angle. Where did you get yours?

Ok, so this is a very tempting little conversion. Seems very simple & straight forward as well as wallet friendly. I have been pondering doin HID's since I bought my car & this winter it just might happen with these prices.

So who just left their high beams stock? Anyone? I'm guessing since the HID's dont like being flicked on & off as high beams it would basically be a waste of money to even order the LMC high beam housings? From what I gather these low beam upgrades are so much better than stock you really shouldnt ever even need the highs correct?

If this is right then technically you could do the low/fog conversion with housing for about $105+shipping. And if its that much better than stock & the bulbs last longer than replacement halogens thats a damn nice price for a worthwile upgrade especially compared to other options on the market.

Can someone please verify my line of thinking is correct. I am very interested in little upgrades like this but honestly havent spent much time researching, so excuse my ignorance.

ordering high beam housings wouldnt be a complete waste of money , you would want your high/low housings to match .. but true , after HID low beam upgrade , the highs wont make much of a difference..
if you just want the low beam housings and HID for low and fogs , its going to be 140 $ . 35$ for each housing and 35 $ for each HID kit too..

Looks like this is the route I'll go in the future then. I'm not worried about the housings matching. I'll just leave the cheapo halogens in the highs. No one will notice at night if the housings match & during the day they are flipped down anyway. Thats $70 I cant see spending just so housings match.

True , no one will realize the difference at night .. in my case , the whole thing started when my passenger side high beam died .. so i thought i'd change them all.. but def. go for the HID's on low-beams .. great improvement and relatively cheap

Awesome!

I just sprung for the 35w, 6000k, and the LMC housings immediately after finding this. Lows and Fogs too!

I knew if I waited long enough somebody would come up with something.

I just replaced those shitty OEM halogens earlier this year. Oh well.

I was in my local autoparts store, talking to a friend of mine who works there, and I brought this up after I mentioned the HIR's that were brought up earlier in this thread.. somewhere.

Nokya sells halogen bulbs that have 100w output in the 9005/9006 bulbs, that are straight (not 90* angled)
They're only like 25$ thru them, and are at 7000*K...

thoughts?

Thanks to all the contributors to this thread, I'm loving this kit!!!!!

35w 6k..... crappy iphone pics

anyone else have 35 6k notice the blue shade goes away once they're on full power? They are bright as heck-I love that- but I wanted just a tad of blue

No problems with mine, they're exactly how I wanted them. Just a slight hint of blue

Don't get me wrong the light projection is excellent. I went down some roads that had me squinting my eyes at night and couldn't see a thing before, it was frightening to say the least! Drove down there again after the new HID's and it was so well lit I could park and have a BBQ there lol

I just don't like that they're just white, I'll have to live with it I guess....unless someone wants to trade some 6k for 8k bulbs

Well fellas... Installed the 6000k fogs last night. It was a straight up and easy install minus the fact I did it at night and had to shove a flashligh in my mouth. lol
Am very pleased!!! They look sooo much better and you can actually see with them!!! Now time to save for the low beams.



P.S. Thanks to everyone who provided info in this thread. If it wasnt for you guys I would still be stuck with cheap *** fogs.

havent installed mine yet , but id also like to thank the people who has given us this information for this wonderful conversion , these housings are quality !
