Default Need help on headlight bulb size

My 04 c5 z06 currently has a upgraded projector headlight not sure what brand but looks just like radio flyer. One of the hid bulb went out recently and when I tried to replace it, the size is smaller than the original 9006 socket. There is no labels on the old bulb so I have no idea what size it is. Went to auto parts store also and they are not sure either. They think there's an adoptor socket on that goes together. Anyone that knows, please help.

Thanks

Several possibilities:

If it is Radioflyer, then it uses a H1 bulb.
If it is original ACA, then D1S.
If it is reproduction ACA, then it is probably H9.

The one on the left is the one I need. Right size is the origin 9006. Notice that the left one is smaller.

Need to see the base of the bulb.

Edit: That's probably a H9 HID bulb.

Just went online and checked out different part numbers you mentioned and it looks just like H9.

Your a life save.
