Default T84 Headlight Housing

Just got an HID kit from philips. Looking to upgrade the plastic lens to the T84 glass for a better cutoff line. Anyone have these??? will the 9006 HID bulb still work in this housing?? Thanks to all

No, it uses H4 bulbs. Only the lens is glass, the rear housing where the bulb plugs in is still plastic.

That is correct, the euro lens using the H4 bulb...To be honest with you, look for a user JTSZ28, and a recent post he made retrofitting some projector lenses into the stock headlight housing. This will give you the best cutoff possible and best optics.
