8-High MOD - HEADLIGHTS

[Rollin Thunder]

for the DRLs, i simply took an old pair of 9005 bulbs that i used to have in my headlights before i got the xenarcs, how would i go about getting fog beam 9005s?

I have got no idea. A custom cut reflector/ but im sure as shit that cant be made easilly. But I thought you were talking about behind your grill??

Take the old bulbs out. Strip and wire tie, or solder, a 9005 socket on the drl wires (same gauge as the headlights I will add), and then modifty the bulb to fit in the headlight.

what do you mean modify the bulb? the way that it locks in?

Okay, maybe I'm a little slow here, but I'm not seeing exactly how to do the 8-hi mod. I've got a 2000 and I've already done the two mods to give me the 6-hi, what do I do to get the DRL's to stay on as well.

So RT, you have regular headlight bulbs in your DRL's? Do they run too hot for the housing and lense or are there any other problems?
