Default which bulbs are brighter, can you even tell, i cant....

well, i just got yellow bulbs, 2 sets, one is a 9005 and one is a 9006 and they are from diff companies. I am not telling you which is the 9006 for all those that are going to automatically default to that. let me know which you think is brighter. there is one of each in every pic and they are in the same housing for all of em too.

It is too hard to tell from your pics. Both look the same. Angle and lighting can affect how it looks in a pic.

It is hard to tell but if I had to make a guess, the passenger side is 9005 and the driverside is 9006.

does that mean you are saying the pass side is slightly brighter?

How about you get some better pics? Take some wall images while the light is beaming at it.

How can one be a 9005 and the other a 9006 when they are both in the low beams? Isnt the low beam on an integra 9006 and the high beam 9005? Anyways they both look the same to me.

You can modify the 9005 high beam bulb to fit into the 9006 low beam socket.

Since they're both pretty much the same, I'd stick with 9006's....they'll last longer.
