i did the 9005 conversion, by changing the sockets to so i wouldnt have to modify the bulbs and when i tried to put the 9005 into the housing of my 01gsr, it wouldnt fit right and when i got it to go into the housing, it wouldnt twist in to fit at all....i dont know wat to do, tips anyone???

 

so you took the 9005 socket from an actual 9005 housing? and tried to fit it in the 9006 socket? i really dont understand you..plesase explain better..


and u didnt cut the bulb?

 

You have to modify the bulb to fit the housing too.

i did a 9005 conversion, where i just used a 9005 socket to replace the 9006 socket...so i can use 9005 bulbs instead of having to modify the 9006 bulb, afterji did the conversion, i plugged the 9005 into the new 9005 socket and tried to twist the bulb to secure itself into the headlight housing...it doesnt fit at all so i guess i'd have to modify the bulb as well??

 

By using the 9005 harness, you don't have to remove the 3 tabs inside the bulb. However, you still need to remove th 3mm from the plastic on the exterior of the bulb.

 

thanks man, that's probably why....didnt knkow u have to do that also...
