Our cars already have the 9005 and 9006 though, unless your car came with projectors. Even then you'd still have the 9005 for the highs.
Anyway I think part of the problem is sellers on eBay have their nomenclature backwards. Found this that has both connectors and both the 9005 and 9006: http://www.ebay.com/itm/9006-9005-Male-Wir...ff7&vxp=mtr Two of them and you'll be good to go. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

The problem is the lamps I made has no plugs hence why I need hb3 & hb4 plugs so I can just plug it to my car and not cut the loom.

He meant use the female part of the adapters and splice them in place of the hb3/hb4 plugs on the lights so they plug straight in to our 9005/9006 plugs. -------------------- Project ST204.5 99.88946% complete... |

Thats my original plan but I dont have any female parts of the HB3/HB4 as it's on the actual bulb it self.
Ive been looking for them online but can't find any apart from the ones Box showed in the link but its kind of a waste as I only need 1 end. You see I bought these by mistake http://www.ebay.com/itm/9006-HB4-9005-HB3-...5e9&vxp=mtr but it's the opposite plug I needed which people dont sell on their own. |

You're going to ditch the hb3/hb4 style plug altogether. Get the 9005/9006 connectors here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/9006-9005-Male-Wir...ff7&vxp=mtr and cut the unneeded end off and crimp these on: http://www.ebay.com/itm/350674532564 which will connect directly to the bulb... Just remember to run the wires through the rubber cap first. This post has been edited by WannabeGT4: Sep 14, 2013 - 5:34 AM -------------------- Project ST204.5 99.88946% complete... |

These are the ones I bought for my car; http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-PCS-Wiring-Ha...b8ac&_uhb=1 I just cut them in half and used one side of them and connected the other side to the pigtails of my projectors..... wasteful yes, but cheaper than anything else that I could find!

Thats a very nice upgrade. Good job. Only the gap of the high beams looks unnatural. I prefer 2 holes where you can create 1 gap for the airfilter and 1 gap for engine cooling. But again a great job

Thanks.
Yeah I wasnt too sure about the gap too. So I used a piece of vinyl and covered one to see how it is. I agree it doesn't look very good. 1 is to be used as a cold air feed and I am in the process of making a funnel the the induction. The other I will mount the oil cooler where the lamp used to be and just mesh the hole. It will still have a un-symmetrical look but I think I'd like it to be so. |

Makes me wonder as to what it'd look like with the high beam recesses filled in and made flush with the bumper.

I always thought about doing this but with the center lamps and deleting the low beams so it will look like a bugeyed sprite-
