Yeah you will probably get flashed by other cars since you don't have the cutoff beam like projectors do. See the link in my sig for info on the conversion.

You mean brighter than stock 9006? Silverstar 9005 is not any brighter than plain clear 9005, just a much whiter light. I have had 9006, clear 9005, Cool Blue 9005, and Silverstar 9005 all in the low beams of my Integra at one time or another. All 60W 9005's put out the same amount of light (unless they have a heavy blue tint on them 
).
).

Re: 9005 conversion. (ExAcc)
Actually, I have never been flashed...ever....I don't think it is because I am aimed lower. I think it is because there is a cap that covers the front bulb in the enclosure of the headlight. It seems brighter in the picture, but it is really not as bright as HIDs...but significantly brighter than stock 9005s.[/QUOTE]

do you mean..it was more "HID looking" than you thought? or you noticed a lot more usable ground light? most people on this board dont give a **** about light quality as long as their housing is reflecting blue/purple..

Re: 9005 conversion. (ExAcc)
Nope, not more HID...but more useable ground light. I don't really go for that purple/blue crap, I don't think it looks good at all. What I meant by I got more than I paid for was that it was brighter than what I expected, meaning, I can see things more clearly at night.

Re: 9005 conversion. (MTK Kommander)
Is the beam pattern even better than a 9006? Headlight/car designers get paid the big bucks for a reason...if 9005 is soooooo much better, you'd think they'd design the headlight to use 9005 from the get-go...just some food for thought here...
