how do u do this conversion? any special equiptment needed? or do u jus put the silverstar 9005 in, its for my 2001 gsr...and how long do they last? any pics would be nice. thanx

 

get ready in 6-8 months to buy new headlights after the silverstars burn out.

 

Im not sure why all of you having problems. I have been running em for over a year with no problems..

 

Search. There are a million threads to have pics, how to's etc.

 

as for tools.. it would be very handy to have a small soldering iron and razor because you have to cut (or burn off) the 2 little notches inside the socket of the bulb. Something that was never mentioned to me when I did the install was; After I finished burning the notches off my bulb I was ready to plug the suckers in to find out that I had to mod the outer ring of the bulb because 9005 were not made to fit the 9006 socket, obviously.

 

My silverstar 9005 lasted 11 months until 1 bulb burned out. Bought a cheap $18/pair GE 9005 replacement and put it in. Light output seems almost the same, the silverstar has a slightly whiter silver color. The GE bulb actually seems brighter in some cases though. I'm running 1 silverstar and one GE bulb right now.

 

eh just go ahead and put both those GE's in, mis-matched headlight bulbs look so we-todd-did

After one of my Silverstars burned out, I took the other one out and threw my 9005 Cool Blues back in (had them in before the SS's). They lasted me another 8 months after that before one finally burned out, 2 days before I put the HID in.
