OK, OK, it's not really bad as it sounds....In the 9006 socket, there is a plastic piece that prevents the 9005 bulb from fitting. All you have to do is get a small needle nose pliers and remove the snap in clip. Once you remove it, you can fit the 9005 in there, you can also put the 9006 in there also.
Remember to save the clips, if you ever want to put them back in. BTW, I did this on a 96 Accord with Sylvania Silverstars and saved the 2 clips into a ziplock sandwich bag.

I tried to melt away the guides inside the 9005 bulb, but it was too much work. I remembered that someone on this board said you could just remove the clip; that's what I did and it worked like a charm.
