90-93 accord, high beam 9006, low beam 9005.
i know some people do what's called a 9006 conversion which you modify the 9006 plug so the low beam wires fit in it and you use 9006 for your low beams. you could try that i guess. some people say it works good.

Eh, modding the lights isnt all that necessary, The bulbs are the 9006 and 9005, I put some Autozone hyper-whites on, and they work well. the hi-beams work REALLY well.

sorry, but modding the lights is necessary. The 9006 bulbs have a single groove in them where the wiring harness plugs in and the 9005 has dual grooves so they dont fit unless you take a knife and cut out that groove.
