I was kinda bored the other day and didn't have much money so I decided to do the 9005 Silverstar conversion. I ran up to Murray's Automotive and purchased 2 bulbs for a total of $45.00. They also came with a $10 rebate which I sent in, so once the check comes the total will only have been $35.00. I followed some directions I had found on Honda-Tech and used a dremel, soldering iron, and of course a hobby knife. The total time was about 30 min, but most of that was waiting for the soldering iron to heat up. All in all I am very happy with the results and especially the price. The bulbs light up the entire road and they are pure white.
Here is a picture I took without a flash.

 

hopefully they wont blow like mine did.

 

pretty koo, but $45..... iono dude....

 

$35.00 bucks is a lot better then spending $400+ on a H.I.D. kit which I was going to do. Now I can use the money I saved for a camber kit and put my Koni Yellows and Ground Controls on. I will monitor how long this conversion lasts and let you know.

 

man those suck bad i can't belive you wasted money on that,you should have left your stock ones in. they look like they came out of a geo metro

 

Why? So I could have nasty stock yellow bulbs and not see the road as clearly?

man you suck, and are a moron.' How about you leave these boards, and never come back?

 

the Silverstar conversion is good, but an HID kit is well worth the money. I've seen both and the Silverstar conversion doesn't even compare.

 

i did a silverstar 9005 conversion and i really like the results, mine looks just like your picture. It is a very noticable difference and im glad i did it. Ive had them in for about 2-3 months now, and the worst that could happen is they could burn out. I dont think $20 a bulb is bad at all. It is more reliable than the overwatted piaas and other aftermarket bulbs and i think that h.i.d. is a waste of money, but that is just me...

about $500 compared to $40.

benz vs. saturn. not everyone can buy a benz.

 

good mod

 

they'll burn out in 6-10 months. Mine did in 6 and 8. I'm back to stock and 50 bucks less richer.

 

doing the 9005 conversion or installing an hid kit, i think we can safely agree that we'd like more light out of our integra headlamps.

Which ever works for ya, let it shine

 

I love this mod. It's really cheap and easy and the payoff is great. I had one Silverstar bulb last about one year and my other original bulb is still going after 1 year and 3 months. It's not HID/Xenon by any means, but it is definately the next best thing.

 

good stuff. Ive been happy with mine for a while now..

::knocks on wood::

although I would like a set of 4300 Philips HID

seriously dog why you gotta be a dick man... **** you.. you get the hammer for being a dick

 

i did the conversion 2 weeks ago... i love it! The light is pure white, with no hint of blue or yellow! Good, cheap mod...although I'm planning to go HID after they burn out.

 

Looks good. Any pics of the beam pattern on the road or against a wall?

 

Was this really necessary? Mods?

I personally praise this upgrade. As stated above the beam pattern covers the entire road ahead of you and also has alot of light on the side of the road. I ve had mine in for one year now and no problems. For those of you who are timid and having trouble figuring out if they should do it, GO AHEAD. Some people have no problems like myself, and I guess other have shitty luck. Just remember to clean the bulbs with alcohol as usual.

 

i never cleaned my bulbs.... Over a year now..knock knock... I am going to modify the connector next. So i dont have to modify the bulbs anymore

 

ok... why are we arguing about this conversion. I've done it, and its brighter than any other bulb non-hid. Yes the bulbs are a lot more but no where near HID price. Obviously HID is the best and brighter, but not everyone can afford it. I've had mine 9005's runnin for about a year and have been very pleased. You dont need a soldering iron to do this just a knife or something sharp. Theres a great article w/pics on http://www.team-integra.net
The "best" 9006 bulb out there is the xtravision

 

here are some pic's, definetely not HID, but hey until i get HID"S these will do
