I'm a real big fan of main beams on the inside, highs on the outside.

Not sure which cars have this setup, but it looks great if you have fogs/driving lights that are right down in the bottom outside corners (as I have in the scoops).

I'm guessing there's no easy way of doing this to the stock setup?

You can't just light the reflectors out and switch them - that's just be toooo easy.

Ho hum.

I don't think it's possible. 95% of cars I've seen have lows outside and highs inside. It's just how it is.

As for doing this with the stock setup - I highly doubt it. The housings are created specifically for each bulb type. I think if anything, you'd have to bake it - take out the reflector piece in the low beam area and move it to the high beam.

You could move the bulb locations and that would do the trick as long as the wires will reach. Probably need to modify the base of the bulb to make it fit but that wouldnt be too hard.

^^ I'd have to doublecheck, but I'm pretty sure there's a reflector piece that covers the bulb in the low beam housing. You'd have to move that too... so I'm not sure it would be a simple bulb swap.

the low beam reflector is too big to fit into the high beam side. plus the high beam has an odd angle towards the inside. if you swap just the bulbs, the low beam reflector is also engineered to have a cutoff for the lights, the high beams do not and will likely blind oncoming traffic.

The_Instigator

I agree about the cutoff, but he could just swap the bulbs if he wants to blind everyone like an @$$

No I'm **** about not blinding people.

I wander which car it was that was behind me the other day with main lights on the inside and highs on the outside. It was dark so I couldn't see but it had either a subaru or a BMW feel to the shadow - don't ask what I mean, just a gut feeling.

Yeah I realised it wouldn't be as easy as switching the bulb position becuase of the reflector.

i hope someone starts making aftermarkets replacement headlight housings that don't cost $1,000.
