Default What bulb to use for Denali Lights on '04 Sierra?

Well guys, here's the situation. I have a '04 Sierra. I bought factory Denali headlamps from crewcabondubz (Santiago) this past weekend and I cannot find bulbs to fit for low beams. I know that my connector on the truck is a 9006, but the fitment on the denali low beam is 9005. There's a few guys on the board that have denali lights on sierras, anyone else have this problem and what the **** did you do to fix it lol. THANKS

btw Santiago was such a nice guy, he let me use his bulbs for my way home, because my Hoen bulbs didnt work with the new lamps. Now i have to wonder, how did his stock bulbs fit but mine did not?

Hi i just put a set of denali headlights on my 05 sierra. Your lights should have come with an adaptor harness that will plug into your stock wiring and run the 9005 lights. They use the 9005 for low and hight beams. How does your fit? I have a little bit of a gap between the grille and the bottom of the headlights.

I think they are the same too I think the only difference is the shape of the actual bulb and the wattage.

i think there might be a little gap..

i didnt get an adapter harness with my purchase, it was just a straight swap from truck to truck.

I've put denali headlights in an '03 as well as my '05 and have never had to have any kind of adapter harness. You got a weird truck there

Thats weird i was told the 9005 s wont fit in the 9006 sockets? Maybe they will i just used the harness that came with the lights they plug into the bulb in the headlight and plugs into the harness. I bought them Separately on ebay and they both came with the harness. Maybe its not an adaptor its just a plug and play harness. Now im confused. By any chance what bulbs are you guys running in them i have heard bad things about the silverstars

My Denali headlights came with an adapter plug that was clipped onto the headlights.
