ok, i searched and didn't really find what i was looking for. i have a pair of 9005 sitting around. today, i got bored and i converted it to fit into my low beams. it is brighter than the 9005 i have in now. now my question is that will it melt or damage my wire harness? second, i need to know how long these coverted bulbs will last? some people tell me that they last for 1 year or so. i also heard that some only last for less than 6 months.. i drive a bit much at nights. so anyone with any experiences on this conversion or running it, can help me out it would be great.
thanks

 

I have it on my V6 6th gen and no melted wires yet. Im using some cheapo ones off ebay.

Its been like maybe 4-6 months now.

 

as long as u use a regular 9005 it wont melt wires.

 

Wires should be fine. Had the conversion on my Integra for 1.5 yrs.

 

I think the reason they don't last as long is because it uses more power and causes the filament to burn out quicker since 9005's are normally for high beams.

 

i've had 9005 in my 9006 for like 3 years now and i have no problems!

 

yeah I've been running it for at least 2 years and it's fine.

 

Yeah I wanted to know about this but no one would answer me so I just bought some Farenheit 9006 bulbs that are a lot better than stock but I may try this conversion next time I need bulbs as I only have a spare set of stock 9005's and I can't stand the yellow color I like the really bright white ones but not the blue ones that actually make it so you cant see worth a damn and annoy the hell out of people.
