Default High Beam Conversion?

is there a way to make your high beams into low? like buy super dim bulbs or something? i know this is very weird but my projector headlights suck and my oem ones got damaged so this is really my ONLY SOLUTION , thanks

there is two different thing if you going to use 9006(low) into 9006(hi)housing, assuming they are the same wattage.

1)9006(lo) have a silvertip, which keep your light from blinding the incoming traffic

2)the housing have a different shaped taps, which you need to cut out, it's black and white when you put it side by side.

but there's a MAJOR MAJOR flaws in this, the high beam is prositioned higher than the low, it doesn't matter if you running low wattage bulb, the visible beam will shoot straight to the oncoming traffic. since you can't adjust the high/low reflector housing individually, so it's pretty much worthless to try this.

not to mention some state(like california) is illegal to drive with high beam on, i know this because i got one when i first have my car(16years old btw)

just buy a oem/oem replacement housing and throw the pos fake projector straight to the trash
