Originally posted by jeffnefbody 9005, 9006 bulbs in an 3rd Gen... Why would you do that? An E-code lense and an H4 is highly comparable to my factory 9006/9005 housing. You can do these upgrades without glueing, siliconing and doing a half *** job.

Becuase with 9006/9005 bulbs in your car, you can put the following projector lights....
I dunno what the big deal is about H4 vs 9005/9006. We're just thinking of new stuff to try. Hey FLYNLOW, Revlimit used to run housings that look like that. Saddly they both broke due to crazy drifting tactics. I dont think he had to fab brackets to use them. They kind of just wedged in there. Crazy!
I never ended up getting anywhere with my side of the project. Couldnt find the 9005/9006 adapter backplates for H4 enclosures. I think HamSpiced has the best solution, the backplates off a Grand Am headlight housing (from a junkyard). Or you could just run a completely different enclosure like FLYNLOW plans to do. I ended up selling my set of PIAA 9005/9006 bulbs to my roommate with a 4th gen.
I have now moved on to a different conversion. I'm still doing my homework on how to do the wiring. I've made measurements on the donor enclosures and it looks like this is going to work out. I'm going true HID, european enclosure!

He gave me the idea, altought he used ACCORD projectors
Projector lamps are good if they are made by good manufacture, and I DO NOT mean APC Company, which those projectors are. Valeo + Hella + Bosche + Cibie are all companies I would personally trust.
I am still with the H4 w/ European Sealed Beam Optics. Perfect Beam Pattern and do not change the look of the car. If you plan on going HID, its just a matter of adding a retrofit H4 HID Kit. 9006/9005 is just a bulb combination for a 4 headlamp system it has no actual increases in performance over the H4 with all these aftermarket bulbs out there.
Here's my reason of changing to the 9006/9005 bulbs with the monte carlo headlights... I want to change the look of the car! I don't care if it's any better or worse than what I have now.
So has anyone come up with how to wire them in yet? or is this going to keep going on talking about H4 lights?

I plan on just putting another fuse on each positive wire leaving the bulb to protecet the stock harness, since i will be putting in 100 watt Xenon Bulbs
I'm confused about the green wires on the headlights though?? What exactly do they do, i know they deal with the headlights, but how do they work to keep the low beams, on and make the high beams turn on??
study the diagram...youll realize that usually its just an extra power wire, there are two power wires and one negative. the negative is put through the relay. thats why i said you can usually just merge the two wires together.
Is that an APC housing ? Beware because APC Housings they are garbage. Thats why they are being sued by the SAE board in the United States, because they are not even close to complient.
Here is a cusom Bi-XENON Projector Setup, Soon to be available for LS1 Camaro.

No it's not an APC housing...
That would be great if it was pictured on a thirdgen camaro.....not a hummer H2....Them being available for an LS1 Camaro is useless for those of us on THIRDGEN.org........Are there any plans on making a projector system that will work on thirdgen???
Re: Possiblity of putting 9004 9005 headlights in a Camaro.
i see this is an old thread, but for using 9006/9005 bulbs the answer is to just connect the high and low beam wires on the low beam wire harness so just two wires are coming from the harness(positive and ground). Then they can connect to the 2 wires coming form the 9006 bulb? It looks like that will work from the diagram and the 9006 bulb will turn on both under high and low beam settings.
