Take out your existing headlight housing(s), hold the rectangular glass part in your hand and turn the bulb's plug with a pair of pliers or channel grips. Slowly turn the bulb back-n-forth until it loosens up and pulls out.

Clean the ~grey colored~ plastic cement remaining on the housing.

Get some high temp silicone, put it on the housing and install your new 9006 and/or 9005 bulbs.

Carefully reinstall on the car after the silicone fully dries.

I wait until night time to re-adjust the headlight beams. I park my car about 30-40 ft away from a wall with the lights on and adjust them accordingly.

It'll save you alot of money this way instead of buying new housings. All you'll need to buy is HighTemp Silicone and new bulbs.:)

Re: headlight conversion 93-97

thanks man for the do-it-yourself instructions, i got the bulbs out, and i'm going to see if i can find some xenon ones to replace them..do you know where they would sell those bulbs and the high heat silicon you speak of?

Re: headlight conversion 93-97

I went with Sylvania SilverStar's. They have a nice bright white shine to them, not the blue'ish color from cheaper bulbs.

As for the silicone;
Just go to any auto store and get this kind. I think they even sell this Permatex stuff at K-Mart & Wall Mart too.

Yes, I did it to my car and I wouldn't go back to stock bulbs for sheat! The silverstar's shine much better!

Re: headlight conversion 93-97

I am talking about halo headlights if we are on the same page let me see a picture because putting 98 headlights into a 97 camaro seems like a pain in the ***

Re: headlight conversion 93-97

no, they are talking bulbs only, not entire headlight assemblies.

Re: headlight conversion 93-97

oh my bad I thought some of you were doing what some owners with corvettes are doing. They are putting the new headlights in them like from the 2006 corvettes but it cost a lot of money
