is it possible to use a highbeam head light for low beam?

Hopefully you can't! There is a switch on the high beams so you can turn them off so you don't blind oncoming traffic. Having high beams as your standard headlights is just plain stupid, shows no regard for other drivers that would be blinded by them and is most likely illegal as well (it certainly is here).

Just use your high beams on non-city roads where there is no oncoming traffic. The standard low beam headlights are fine for all other situations.

And PLEASE ..... do not try to compensate by using the fog lights when there is no fog!!!!

SydneyGuy...you and me both.

Enough with the fog lights when it's not foggy. You are blinding everyone, and look like idiots.

i was in a rush in my last post, what i ment was.. for the list of lights above, is it possible to use the "9005SU Silverstar ULTRA for Ultra Night Vision - The Whitest and Brightest Halogen" as my low beams.. reason being is i want the HID "effect" or the whitest low beam lights i can get during the night. as for my highbeams i am not planning to change them as i rarely use them around my area anyways. if not, do any of you guys recommend any low beam lights that look like HIDs?

thx,

alright, so i just bought the Silverstar Ultra For Night Vision 9006SU headlight bulbs and they didnt fit on my cx-9. compared the two and they were totally different lol.. does anyone know the size for the cx-9? since the cx-9 is a new car its not in any of the auto stores databases yet, well in my area anyways.

on the shelves the only thing that separated these bulbs were the 9006, 9005su's..and i have no idea what the cx-9's is.. and no i dead what those numbers mean. the ppl at canadiantire just draw blanks when i ask them.. (hand)

i think you need to buy the H11 for LOW BEAM headlight replacement
