Default converting brights to fog lights? 94+ teg

I was wondering if there is a way to convert 94+ integra head lights to duel beam bulbs, instead of a separate bulb for each, and then use the now vacant high beam unit (the inner circles) to fog lights? I know a lot of people, like me, make the brights yellow but I don't like riding around with my brights on.

you can put a yellow film over the inners or put fog lights on the car.

I have them yellow already, and don't like the factory optional fog lights, that's too many circles on the front of the car lol
Civics use dual beam bulbs. so the question is, is there a way to rig civic headlight sockets to the wires of the low and high bulbs on the teg. then wire fog light bright bulbs in to a switch

would have to be a custom project I've never heard of it being done. I don't know if 9005,9004,9006's can be gotten like that plus the wiring up of it would be custom again. maybe FCM will see your thread and give insight. I don't know wiring well enough I supposed you could look at diagrams of how civic's are wired and the integra and try and figure something out.

The wiring would be relatively simple, just splice the connector from a civic or DA integra onto your existing wire harness. The tricky part would be to fit a hi/lo bulb in the housing. I suppose you could take a dremel and slowly work the housing/bulb to make it fit, but it would all be custom just like B_Swapped93 said.

yeah I know it would have to be custom, but newcarscent you bring up a good point which I didn't think of which is fitting the bulb in. id wanna use duel beam hids, but still would face the same issue.
but if it is as simple as splicing and connecting (like I hoped) then I think it should be fairly easy. and if no ones done it before that just further motivates me to do it. lol

The housing is what's going to get you in the end and my shut the plans down but good luck.
