the search server is down right now.. and i was wondering how do you make it so 9005 bulbs can fit into the headlight socket. do have to shave down the 2 plastic pieces sticking out inside the plug? how would i go about doing this? it seems so hard to fit into the small area.. any suggestions?

cool.. i got the lights prepd.. since these are hire wattages am i runnning any risk of melting the reflecor?

 

If you're using 65w instead of 55w, it wont be aproblem, i'm running 65w HiR bulbs, but if youre running an 85 w bulb in a 55w socket, you'll be in **** soon.

 

no you wont melt the reflector.

get an Xacto knife. they have smaller ones that will fit in there, and will cut that down. if you dont want to buy a knife, a razorblade will work, but be careful not to cut youreself

 

haha thanx for all the help... i ended up using my dremel.. took only a few seconds... i forgot i had it... i pt one in.. but it didnt seem as bright.. =/ i just got new head lights installed and they put in new bulbs too.. "egalite" or sumthing ike that is the brand my old 9005 are stanley.. i dunno.. i ended up just keeping the new bulbs... the 9006
