I'm trying to replace my stock headlight bulbs to the 5000K. I read many threads and some said that the stock EvoIX (Not RS, not SE, not MR, no HID) uses 9007 HB5, but when I went to Kragen, the guy checked the model of my car that it said 9006, and I asked him about what's HB5, and he didn't know what that is, he only said that 9006 is the one I should get. Should I get 9006 or 9007 if what HB5 is does not a matter because I don't want to mess up my electrical system.

Now, I'm trying to get one on eBay, so if it's really 9007, should this fit my car?

The info for the listing as follow:
5000K HID SUPER WHITE XENON HEADLIGHT BULB 12V 65/55W 9007/HB5

Thanks in advance!!

A lot of people don't like ebay HID kits but I ordered one and have been using it for 2 1/2 years. Had to change the bulb once and I ordered that off ebay for $30.

Maybe you can switch up instead of sticking with the halogen bulbs.

Thanks! I guess 9006 is the correct one then..

I don't think I would get the HID now cuz i used to have HID in my RSX-S 06, but it sucked up the battery so fast and i forgot my lights few times the battery became so weak, so to avoid that i forgot my lights again, better to not use HID. cuz I used to drive MR2 MKII, you know, raise headlights are easy to be noticed.

Maybe I'll stick to the capsule headlamps. I found them so cheap on eBay for like $8 Free ship while the store sells $55. so maybe i buy 1 or 2 sets in case it won't last long, it's still cheap... In stead of putting the HID, i would rather get a foglight kit... can't find it anywhere.

Also, the reason I wanna get the 5000k is i just want the white light, not because i want it brighter, it's just because yellow lights make me dizzy. that's all... not too be cool or something..

 

i thought the evos have an auto off feature if you turn the car off the headlights go off?

 

yesh the evo does have this feature. My 2006 ix turns off by itself after like 30 seconds.

 

Yes it does, but with my Greddy auto timer, after I take the key out, the countdown should happen, after that, my car shuts off and the light will be still on, if i turn off the auto timer and take the key out, the lights will turn off by itself. that's is why.

 

So I bought the 9006 bulbs, seems like I bought the right one cuz I check the user's manual...
Now another problem.
I was going to put that on, the problem is when i pop my hood, I notice it's impossible to reach to the lower beam, so I read the user's manual, it said I have to remove the plastic cover on the bottom behind the front bumper. OK.. I went ahead and removed that, problem comes, I can't get the light out, cuz there is a bar that blocks the bulb to come out, it attachs to the body and looks like it's irremovable, so that's where I was up to... I tried to look for step by step instruction online but I couldn't find any. Please help!

Edit: The page in the user's manual I referred to was at page 7-47

 

OK. So today I got my lazy *** to work. Since I didn't find any significant step by step tutorial, I went ahead and took the chance. I took the bumper off and undo some screws on the headlight so I could finally able to reach the bulb. I changed it in an hour for both side and put it back on, it didn't took too long time, but it's pain in the *** to have to go over this everytime. It's not difficult at all either, but it's just troublesome.

So here are some pics I took while I do the work. Can't imagine how many screws and clip this Evo bumper has, gosh... My RSX-S only had like 8 of them...
