I don’t think it’s a good idea to put 9005 in Low beam. Just think about the high beam and low beam lamps has different reflectors with different focus points and different glasses made for different purposes (high beam lights higher then low). Moreover, if you do such change you will not have real high beam to drive highways at night. When I just bought my S-10 I didn’t like my lows too and I even bought an auxiliary Bosch fog lights but now I use to live with my poor lows and cant find time or motive to mount auxiliary lights to my truck (lies in a box brand new). Some local guys put xenon bulbs in his American trucks but I think it’s not right too (& illegal) :? . There are many other ways to make your low beams light brightly. :)

You can try to mount Hellas driving lights on front bumper or on the roof rails. :roll:
