BTW I did this out of necessity b/c one of my silverstar low beams went out, and I happened to have a set of 9005 silverstars just laying around! It was nice not having to spend another $20 on a new bulb!
Awesome! Glad it helped
I did this for the exact same reason as you

One of the mods in my area have HIR's. I'll drop by his place ASAP and get some comparo pics for the heck of it. In the mean time, you should try it and take side by side pics eh?
