headlight questions need help
ok so im going to use the high beam socket in my accord as a foglight and wire the high beams to a bulb in the low beam socket that is a dual stage bulb (high and low) how do i know what bulb would be both high and low? ive done very little research on google and found some stuff but it was for hid's and im not using hid, im using the bullshit pep boys bulb called Pilot super clear or what ever the bulb is a 9006 in my car stock. so my main question is what bulb should i get that is both high and low beam and where should i get it?

Re: headlight questions need help
i believe the 9007 or 9004 is a dual beam that may work. Your best bet is to actually go to an auto parts store and look at ur bulb compared to the dual filaments they have. I believe this will be illegal to do however. It does look pretty nice though and as long as your not driving down the road with them on like that a Leo will not notice. When Inspection time come around however you may need to come up with a clear bulb so that you can pass with stock high beams. Make sure to solder everything in with some heat shrink tubing. You can even put a lil dielectric grease on the joint after the solder and before the heat shrink to help keep out moister on the bare wire. I'll help it last longer.

Oh, and I'm closing the thread because you know it's illegal so you're knowingly violating the forum rules.
