tomgeer Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Hi Can anyone help me? I have been wanting to fit glass headlights to my p reg facelift supra j-spec tt which currently has Phillips HID plastic lights installed. I want to keep the light units and change the lense because I don't like the grey plastic look. I have been told that you can only fit 9006 units to the uk glass lights, my HID's are 9005 fitment. Below is a copy of the email I got from envy performance when I questioned them about it: Hi Tom, 9005 and 9006 are nearly identical, it's the lugs on lights which are in a different orientation, it can be modified easily to fit though Best Regards, Gareth Walker Director http://www.envyperformance.com - Performance Parts Distributors Tel: 01670 823333 | Mobile: 07960 033 044 _______________________________________________________ Anyway! what I need to know is if anyone has modified the 9005 fittings to fit into 9006 uk spec lights and could they send me some instructions on how to do it? thanks guys Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Loads of people have done it. I think they just chopped off one of the lugs. Scott =op Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 UK Dipped - 9006 UK Full beam - 9005 (same as J-Spec) J-Spec Dipped - 9005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Dimensions of the 9005J/9006J (J-spec) and 9005/9006 (UK) bulbs http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showpost.php?p=1174686&postcount=9 I though the UK was 9006 dip / 9005 main? Dipped beam bulbs are usually capped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 UK Dipped - 9005 (same as J-Spec) UK Full beam - 9006 J-Spec Full - 9005 I'm presuming your HID's are just in the dipped beam, so you should be fine. Wrong way around UK dipped = 9006/HB4 UK high beam = 9005/HB3 The 9005/HB3 bulbs are slightly smaller diameter compared to the 9006/HB4. You will be able to make them fit but they won't seal properly. You could buy a new set of 9006/HB4 HID bulbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Wrong way around Oops, edited my post to avoid confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
