Convert from 9006 to 9005
I got tired of my dull 9006 bulbs. So, I replaced them with 9005's. All it took was 10 minutes and a little modification of the 9005's. First thing you are going to do is take the yellow ring off the 9006 bulbs and put them on the lower end of your new 9005's. < pics will show better here in a minute. > You then get out your handy dandy Dremel. You are going to trim down one of the tabs so that the 9005 fits in the 9006 slot. Your then going to trim down the two guides in the 9005 bulb. These guides are what keep you from hooking up your bulbs to the 9006 slot.
In the pics, the left bulb is non-modified, and the right is modified. Pics are in order to my steps.
Make sure you do NOT touch the bulbs. After doing this, you may need to re-aim your lights. I noticed a HUGE difference and really enjoy it. =)
Also, you can go to a junk yard and cut off the harness to 9005's. Then cut your 9006 wires and replace with 9005 wiring. I just don't like to cut my factory wiring. =P
