sorry, the conversion is for cars that use separate low and hi beam bulbs, specifically 9006 and 9005 low and hi beams.

if you take out the white piece of plastic like chicagovelocity said, do you still need to modify the top tab (not the two prongs in the socket..the third piece that needs modifying on the outside of the socket)?

Yup. The top tab won't fit in the 9006 tab holes. You just need to trim them a bit. You have to modify the socket so the plug will go into the bulb and you have to modify the tab so the bulb will plug into the housing.

I love the way Integra lights look at a distance, or even at a medium range, the little beads of light coming out of the front of the car.

Granted, the stock ones light up like ass, but I've seen the conversion in real life and while it threw out TONS more light, it eliminated one of my favorite parts of the cars, the little beads of light.

Sure I don't see it, but I know other people do and call me rice, but I care what people think too.
I'd go with HID's only because they light up such an EXTREMELY high amount of road, but I'd TOTALLY lose the little beads of light then =[.

But ohwell.
The brighter the bulb, the more of just a round glowing ball of light it becomes and the less of that BEAD look... which I osolove.

no you wouldn't, you can tell when a car w/ HID's has projectors vs. reflector housings.

Stupid question, but why not just use the 9006 bulb? Doesn't the silverstars come in 9006?
