Help w/ installing Sylvania!!!!!

Gerald · 05-25-03, 05:38 PM

I just bought some sylvania silver stars about a hour ago. I've taken tha stock bulb out, but tha damn silver star appears too big for the housing. Do I need to get another harness for these? Can anyone give me some directions on putting these in. I've been searching on here and legend-tuner but I'm still not getting anywhere.

Which bulbs did you buy and which ones are you trying to replace? The low beams are 9006, and the high beams are 9005. The bulb socket diameters are different - the 9005 is smaller than the 9006. The electrical socket is "the same" except for a tab in the socket that prevents them from being switched (but can be cut out in the case of a 9006 ----> 9005 conversion).

Make sure you bought the right bulbs for the right lamps.

Damn it!!!!!!! I bought tha damn 9004 st/2 thinking they would be tha same diameter. I was thinking tha 9004 would be that color of a 9004 hid kit. $hit!!!!!

Thanks Chuckee

those numbers have nothing to do with how much light output there is. Ours have 9006 for the low beams. It is the fitment of the bulb etc that the number desinates. You musta confused it with 6000k lights or something:p
