I tried the search but cant find anything, i know there was a thread a while back but cant find it. Anywho has anyone changed around their lights so that the low-beams are in the hi-beam housing and vice-versa. If so is there any better light when on low beam from the hi-beam light. I figured there would have to be, but then the hi-beam light would possibly be pretty poor. i havent looked yet to see if the wiring is long enough to stretch across, but was just wondering first has anyone done it in their integra?
I recall a similar thread where you can use the high beam bulbs in the low beam lamps by scraping the **** off the bulb base.
theres also a cap on the low beam bulbs that the high beams bulbs dont have.
try searching on the 9007 or 9005 conversions.. or something like that.. sorry. i just have 2 min between breaks to write this.
good luck

Sorry thats not what i meant, i already done the 9005 conversion on the lo-beams, what i'm considering is changing the complete plug/bulb from the lo-beam into the hi-beam housing and vice-versa, so when i turn on my low beams only, they will shine out of the hi-beam light housing, and the hi-beams will shine from the lo-beam housing
I think i saw a kit that made daylight running lights for your integra that let the inner light lenses go on. if i find the link, i 'll update thsi post. but i thought it was interesting.

uhhh you would NOT want to do that. The projector has the cutoff beam pattern that keeps the light on the road and not in other people's eyes. The high beams shine the light way up high, even some straight up and to the sides. Using the high beam housing for your low beams would be
Besides, projectors are superior to reflector headlights anyway.
