Question about headlights... - Hyundai Performance Forums

Didn't know where to post this, but figured this would be best since the 97-99 tibs had 9005 and 9006 lights...

Had a bulb burn out today and low and behold I found a burnt headlight casing... I have had to change this before, so off to the local Auto Zone I go! I get there and realize that they have replacements for both 9005 and 9006 sockets... I know that 9005=low beam and 9006=high beam, but I wondered what would happen if I changed them all to 9006 bulbs and casings? I decided to try, so I bought both sockets... long story short the 9006 socket worked... My question is will there be any future problems or should I be O.K?:hmmm:

should be fine just brighter bulb cops might think u have ur brights on if they are to bright look at them from and distance and see how bright they are.

Hummm... interesting. You can also aim then lower if they are too bright, that might help. There is a place where you can adjust them with a philips screw driver (it in your manual).

Let us know how the work out and if they are an inporvement for visibility.

Does anybody have a good brand they could recommend for headlights?

PIAA Super Plasma, the best and offers a light with a purplish tint.

Sliver Star is under this, and offers a pure white light with a touch of purple.

I will go with anything else under this from Hiper Industries to Tucan, and they all offer a blue light.

Honorable mention is out to both Tucans and Nokya's purple bulbs, they still suck like the blue bulbs above, but are purplish.
