JiggaFan---calm down and stop your whining. I did not start this thread for you to b*tch and complain, do it somewhere else.

Anyway I have my 9005 Silverstars in my low-beams and 9005 PIAA Xtreme Whites in my high beams.

Does this sound okay? The color matches perfectly. Everything looks *perfect*.

Low-beams are BRIGHT!

Maglights are weak... get one of those spot lights that you plug into your 12V power source...

you guys ever stop to think that perhaps aiming isn't the biggest problem. i mean, if a certain number of lumens or whatever is projected 0 degrees in front of the car, and an even lesser amount of lumens is projected say 5 - 10 degrees in front of the car, then when you put the 9005 in the 9006 withouth re-aiming, you have increased the amount of light being projected in the 0 - 10 degree range in front of the car or whatever. you've possibly increased the amount of light to that of the bright lights which are aimed differently.

but what'd you all care? as long as it "looks" like a high performance car, right?

Come again?

If you swap the bulbs, and that's all you do...you shouldn't need to re-aim them.

Do the math bro...more lumens aimed in the same place will give more light...the reason it looks brighter is because it IS brighter. Just because you are using the high beam lights doesn't mean it's directing light higher.
