No DRL's in the Lamp Right Now
So I ordered new DRL's and they finally came yesterday. Turns out that they dont fit. I ordered 9006 instead of 9005. WHOPS!
Anyways, after finding out they didn't fit, I just completely took out my DRL's and city lights. So right now I driving around with no high beams and city lights. Is this bad??? :confused: I like the look better cause I have no ugly yellowish day time lights, and at night I get the pure white from my HID with no city light interference. :thumbup: I just dont know if this is bad for the car, lights, or anything electrical. |
Shouldn't hurt a thing if your socket holes are covered. If they aren't, dirt and moisture are sure to get inside your headlight housing and cloud things up.
As for the 9006/9005 fix, take a small file, or better yet, a dremel tool and grind out that middle plastic piece and the plug should fit with no problem. |

I am looking for a dremel or a small enough file to make things work. I did however cover things up pretty good. I was just hoping things would be safe until I fixed the problem. Good lookin out! :thumbup: |

Thanks but what is this gonna tell me? I have looked at this thread b4 and thats where i got the idea about getting those DRL's.
Problem is I ordered the 9005 BULBS and they sent me the 9006 BULBS. No worries cause I'm gonna Macgyver the 9006's so they fit. :woot: http://www.antoniogenna.net/doppiagg...m/macgyver.jpg |
9006 have glare Shields, while 9005's dont. They aren't the same, so If i were you, I'd get the right type of bulb, unless light output is not something your worried about, which i doubt since you went through the trouble of getting new bulbs.
