High/lowbeam swap
High/lowbeam swap
I have a 98 and it has the cheap halo 1 piece headlight in it. I want to go with HID to improve them. Right now they aren't very good on a dark road. It says on the housing not to install the HID's. Is this due to heat?
I remember reading somewhere that you could do it but the lighting really wouldn't change much because of the projector lense. Here's what I want to do in this case. 9006 are the day time running/high beam and for some god forsaken reason, the lows are H3's. The highbeam lense are bigger in diameter and when I use them, they spread out way better than the low beam lense.
Can I swap the wiring, make my 9006 the low, the h3 the high/dtr? I know little bugs will have to be worked out but what my concern is about the highbeam and angles. Originaly, it gets 6 volts or something to be day time running. When it gets 12 it become high. If this is correct and the same on most cars, then that means you don't have to adjust the headlight to achieve high beam, rather more voltage? How does the light on cars with a single bulb set up all of the sudden aim up at high beam? I know there are two elements in the one bulb but brighter doesn't spread the light all over the place for high beam does it?
I just want to know how High beam works wether it's angles or some magic element garbage. I'll do the rest. I don't want to be high beaming every one.
