Yes, it is possible. You have the same 9006 & 9005 bulbs.

Myself I cannot stand the look from blue tint bulbs both from on-coming traffic as well as from behind the seat. Any tinted coating that is on the bulb is reducing the overall output that the bulb is capable of.

*Moving to the GMT360/370 Tech Section*

*EDIT* - lows are 9006, the highs are 9005

Yeah. The blue bulbs are outright annoying. They light up signs and road reflectors a lot better than normal bulbs, but they do not give you good visability.

They only time you can actually see good with them, is in the snow, pretty much...

Blue lights refract too much...

The best way to compare it, is next time you're driving around and there's a touch of fog in the air... Look at your traffic lights, the green will have a gigantic ring of light around it, while the red and amber have almost none in comparison...

Hardly any of the light output is usable for regular road driving.

On top of that, it will make your eyes tired, because they have to work over time for you to see...


But yes, they'll fit, lol. Except for the new full size platform, pretty much all 4 headlamp systems from GM are 9006/9005 setups... Except for the odd HID or sealed beam setups...
