Default Hid

I need some quick help.

I'm buying projector headlights

I need to know what HID to buy to go along with it. Can anyone post some quality links?

They have the pair of headlights with HID listed here

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Use that to figure out your bulb type. Projector housings should use the same bulb # as the stock housing. I would buy the headlights and the HIDs separate. Much cheaper that way.

I'm not really sure how to read this chart. I see my high and lows are at 9005 and 9006 respectively... so do I buy the high beam or low beam for HID application????

First timer with HIDs and I will be having professional install after purchase. Need answers to make moves fast truck is in body shop right now. Responses greatly appreciated.

If you want HID on your low beams buy lows, if you want HID on high beams buy high. If you want both buy both.
You have Driving lights, Fog lights, Low Beams, and High Beams.

Fog lights the exception in most cases.

a man on those first lights, if you read the description it says;
"Hi Beam: 9005 Light Bulb & Low Beam: H1 Light Bulb"

so if you want hids they are gonna have to be H1

alot of projector housings take different bulbs than OEM housings. My DSM projectors took H1s, when I switched to OEM housings they took a 9006. IMO I would buy the projectors, and then when I have it in person I'd look to see what bulb it takes. Not every aftermarket projector takes an H1
