Talisker · July 8, 2008

If you're doing you're dipped beam you need HB4's or 9006's. High beam it's HB3 or 9005's

Personally I don't think it is worth doing the main beams, hids take a short while to warm up when you turn them on so they are not suited to brief on and off operations. I got mine from a UK seller called allgoods99, was a wise choice when a ballast failed and I had to do an exchange. The guy did it no arguments and had no probs since, would've been a real pain if it had to be sent back to China/Japan to exchange.

I think he lists all bulb types under the same item, IIRC, you just state the bulb type when you order. Might be worth sending him a quick message first to confirm though but the listing title does show 9006 as an option. So Yeah, don't order the H4-1, order the HB4/9006.
