I have an evo IX no ssl, I just got oem bulbs and ballasts. I'm trying to put them in and they don't fit into the hole where the 9006 bulb goes. what am I doing wrong???? please help

thanks,
greg

 

The OEM HID bulb is NOT the 9006 type, it has a D2S type bulb. IT will NOT fit on your car, you batter sell it and get the 9006 HID kit.

 

Or get hl's from a car that had the HID's.

 

thanks guys, just had to make sure

 

Its easier to sell your D2S type HID kit and get the 9006 HID kit,because most of OEM HID headlights that use projector lens use D2S type HID bulb. so you may sell them on ebay fast. The 9006 HID kit from $200 to $500. Just don't get the 9006 kit with over 6000K color temp.

 

if i buy a pair of hid housings from an 8, is it possible to swap out the actual hid lens so i can keep my IX headlights that have the black chrome housing??

 

Yes you can! Why not spend the cash for the JDM MR headlights, unless you can find the 8 headlights for under $600? A D2S HID kit is alot cheaper than a conversion kit. Also becareful if you do a conversion kit and the cops are smart where you live, they can have you remove them. Since HID conversion kits were deemed illegal by US DOT last year.

 

just bought a set of evo 8 headlight housings w/ hid bulbs and ballasts for 350 shipped.....got lucky I guess....project: headlights, here i come

 

Good job! Enjoy HID.................
