Before you replace any low beams, read this:

...I did it to my rex and it is the best lighting mod you can do short of a full, proper HID conversion.

Here's a list I found...can't vouch for accuracy:
Low beam headlamp 9006
High beam headlamp 9005
Parking light 1157
Front turn signal 1156
Rear turn signal 1156
Tail light 2057
Stop light 2057
High mount stop light 921
License plate 67
Back up light 1156
Front sidemarker 194
Rear sidemarker 168
Dome light DE3022
Step/Courtesy light 194
Trunk/Cargo area DE3423
Instrument-general 194/74
Hi-beam indicator 74
Seat belt indicator 74
Brake warning 74
Directional signal indicator 74

thanks alot man for all the info.... gives me the idea i wanna do that but i was thinkin of doing is..... putting yellow bulbs in for my high beams and stock for my lowbeams. that way the high beams act as foglights pretty much since they will be yellow. kinda like jdm integra headlights ya know??? but i will keep all this in mind thanks alot man u guys are good wagon information

i remember that! man i read that a long time ago. i was thinking of doing that, but i was too afraid i'd waste too many bulbs and end up not being worth the money to do the project.

i asked my friend to get me some PIAA Extreme Forces from overseas. i think they run somewhere around 4800K compared to the normal 3200K of the halogen bulbs. any comments on PIAA? as i move off to college, the town im going to gets really dark at night, so i wanted to upgrade to some brighter lights. as of now, those are what im getting. anyone know anything brighter or better?

plus i wanted to get some fog lights, but just change the bulbs to some PIAA yellows for some added brightness. but i dont wan to pay $200+ one the JDM ones, but i want to remain the stock look. any suggestions?

I'm all for seeing where your going but putting highbeam lights into your lowbeams is really gonna piss off oncoming traffic... :shock:

Or am i missing something?

The bulbs aren't the only thing that make your high beams so easy to see. Its mostly the shape and angle of the lens housing. The high beam housing points up and out, the low beams cut off at a certain height.
Many rexers have done this and pissing people off with glare is not an issue.
It might be different for you Kiwis.
The high/low bulbs are within 5 watts of each other anyway.

Fair enough, thought it would have something to do with the housing. Cheers.

By the way, i'm not a flightless bird. :P

i was thinking about that too, but now days people in those Acura TL's and BMW's with xenons are pretty darn bright, so i guess it is only fair to shine right back into their faces, eh? ha ha. i am going to try this conversion, maybe today or tomorrow.....peace. 8)
