Default High Beam Bulbs in 4 holes !!

I dont know if anyone ever posted this - but I did this on my 91 and now on my 03 - little trick I learned in the shop - If you take High Beam bulbs - take a razor blade or Xacto - trim the tags/slots/tabs - inside the bulb connector - you can put High beam bulbs in all four holes - I know it sounds silly - but it works - The light is much brighter - I rarely use my brights - If you have a high four wiring - all four on high is bright - PS I used the new Sylvania Bulbs in all four - talk about bright - just a little something that works for me

I have the cheapest 9006 bulbs I could find.....but my headlights are about a foot higher than the ones on 2 wheel drive lowered trucks are

I have heard good things about the silverstars and might give them a try because my low-beam bulbs kinda suck

Even lowered trucks get the highs from oncoming motorists. Then I give them mine.

yea the silverstars are nice. they are really white. no yellow.also they're not blue so you dont look like a ricer, which is good.
