So I was screwing around with my headlights the other day, and I came across an interesting idea: What if I stuck my brights 9005 headlights in the 9006 place to make them brighter? Turns out its a perfect fit (with a little jiggle) tongue.gif !!! It's F***ing Sweet! They are just as bright as those luxury cars!! Pretty cool! However you don't have brights anymore but you don't need them with your headlights so bright! I also installed a Purpleish tinted headlight 9005 and it looks kinda sweet! Just an idea! wink.gif

Yeah, driving with your high beams on is not cool...especially if you're following someone, because there's not much that they can do. They can't flash you or anything. If you guys want to "floss" your cars, I suggest city lights in your high beams. wink.gif

Oh, and about running the higher wattage bulbs, the safe thing to do would be to install a couple SPDT automotive relays and run new wires to the headlights that are a thicker gauge. wink.gif

you and your spdt relays....

what exactly are these and what are they used for. give me some applications.

They're used for all kinds of stuff relating to alarms. A SPDT relay is used to power something when some circuit is activated, without drawing much power from that circuit.

For example, say you have 20 neon lights on your car. You want all of them to turn on and stay on while your dome light stays on when you unlock your car. If you draw power for all of those neon lights from the dome-light power wire, chances are that you'll blow a fuse, melt a wire, mess up a circuit, or maybe even light your car on fire. If you simply hook up that dome-light power wire to the coil of a relay, it only draws 30 milliamps or so, and then the power for the neon lights can come straight from the battery.

Adding neon lights to your illuminated entry of your alarm, adding cooling fans to your remote turn on wire from your radio, making your headlights brighter, making your own remote start system, making power door locks interface with an alarm unit, rolling up your windows when you arm your alarm, creating a starter kill for your alarm, and making your radio stay on after the ignition is off until a door is opened are just a few of the applications of SPDT relays.

Hope this helps. smile.gif
