meloDE Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Just wondering, does anyone know what globe they are? I want to put HIDs in them but I can't see the listing or any imprint on the globe of what type they are.

xntrq Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Globe size is 9005. On a standard halogen bulb, it will say 900X (my one did anyway), which means it could be either 9005 or 9006. 9006 is slightly larger where the O-Ring is. I originally picked up a set of 9006 and tried to put it in cause there were no specifics on the assembly or the bulb itself. Didn't fit and the guy I bought it from was a local ebay seller so I zipped back over and he was very helpful in getting the right ones. Also you might find that the bulb won't be a straight twist and lock since the tabs on the bulb may be larger than the grove. I just removed the 3 screws that holds the locking plate that locks the bulb in, slipped the HID bulb through and re screwed it. perfect fitment.

Mangune Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 May i ask who did you use? And what are you using to replace the low beam standard ones you got with them?

xntrq Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 May i ask who did you use? And what are you using to replace the low beam standard ones you got with them? Cheers Hey man, I used these guys: http://stores.ebay.c...t-current/HID-/ Low beam: 55W Ballast, H1 8000K HID Bulb High Beam: 55W Ballast, 9005 8000K HID Bulb They have some cordless and corded HID ballast. I suggest if your grabing both and you want to mount it where the stock ballast would have been, get the corded one for low beam and cordless one for high beam. If you use cordless on low beam and mount it under the headlight assembly, you will find that the wires will be barely long enough. Also if you want to buy from that guy, PM the seller, ask for "Tom", he takes care of the aussie/Sydney side of the business and let him know that Ricky referred you and that you have the same car. He will set you up and will know exactly what to give you.
