GSR's usually came with 9006 bulbs and anything non-HID. Evos equipped with HID and JDM headlights take D2S bulbs. I have 9006 bulbs in my evo before I got my JDM headlights and had to swap bulbs.

well I know certain places online sell rebased D2S bulbs. If some people have made it work ask them how they did it because I was forced to buy the D2S bulbs when I got my JDM headlights to make the kit work again

I had an aftermarket HID kit. I had to buy adapters off ebay. Ones that had the D2S plug end on one side and the male female plugs on the other end that would plug into the harness. this is what I got to make the kit work for me:

oh ok, i see...my only concern was if the 9006 would fit in the stock housing..looks like the d2s has some wierd latch on back to hold them in....hope its moreso universal

from what I saw I couldn't fit the 9006 bulb into the D2S housing hence the need for my "custom" setup lol. I would just stick with what fits. I found D2S bulbs on ebay used from an infiniti and they have been working perfectly.

They leave you alone unless you get those annoying bright green or purple headlights. Those people should get pulled over anyway.
