Aftermarket HID ballasts have at standard input socket that mates with a 9005 or 9006 connector.

I'm sure your right but the HID bulbs won't fit into the light fixture we've been talking about. At least that's the problem I ran into?

True, your bulb has the wrong base on it. Your replacements were sent out this morning.

Default Done!!!!!!!!!!,,,







The lights are in the car and work great. I had a local audio store do the install. Got the car back last night and couldn't wait for it to get dark. This is a GREAT UPGRADE! The light output is 100 times greater and the look of the car is better. It was worth all the money and agrivation.

Default Does this ever end?

The guy that put in the lights for me pointed out that now my FOGS and SIDE LIGHTS LOOK BAD. He ordered the bulbs I will need to get all the front lights to look great.
