Need advice as here i can only get 9006 but not 9007. Reason to do the conversion is because the H4h is not available here and when i used the H4, it’s not bright at all.and seems that since the h4 are shorter than the h4h, the light beam didn’t really reached out…
The mechanic here say it’s not a problem to convert the wiring from H4 to 9006, just that need to know if teh light patetrna nd brightness will be the same…
I read about some guys doing it on the JDM 1-pc lites(h4h bulbs) for the Acura Legend, I thot it might be possible on our 1-pc also…
I have an extra set of 9006XS Silverstar bulbs and was thinking of getting the 'ol dremel tool to shave off 2 tabs, but Silverstars are not cheap… When I get a hold of some halogen 9006 and a set 9006 harness, I’m gonna see if it works.
the same difference it would be between a 9006 and 9004. 9004/9007 are dual filament bulbs with a low/hi beam. light output and filament placement is positioned for optimum output on headlights it was DESIGNED for.
9006 is a low beam bulb only. bulb size and filament placement is different.
it is quite obvious that light pattern and brightness won’t be the same. 9006 bulb wasn’t designed to be put/used into a one-piece headlight housing. if it was, then it would have originally used that bulb.
might as well spend some money and get h4h.
if your h4 conversion is dim, then double check the wiring.
well i have a 9006 HID kit in my JDM 1pc headlights… I used an 9006 harness and grinded down the 9006 HID bulbs cuz there platic and i made them fit into my JDM 1pc headlights
9006 Harness
grinded down the 9006 HID bulb
they sit in there perfect…
my HIDS warming up
My HIDS warmed up…
and here is the light out put i took the pic with my phone didnt have my camera when it was dry out…
9006 are weak compared to a 9005 conversion… just shave the 2 knobs inside the 9005 bulb and cut the right side of that top piece… and it’ll fit right in… brighter and better… and for the silverstars they suck don’t last, 3 months at most… I wasted so much money on em… better just get the piaa and get the warranty…
ya i tried h4’s in my one pieces and it was shitty and not bringht at all…so i put stock h4h bulbs and they are bright as hell…now for when they burn out(hopefully not soon) ima get one of these of ebay i know they are a little pricey but i wanna be able to see dammit w/o having to do surgery to my headlights
