Definitely my next thing to do!
Yep 9006 for the lows and 9005 for the highs. i have them in fogs too. What pictures were you wanting? I can't get you any output pictures since my car is in storage already.

9005 and 9006 are the same bulb. Your 9005 kit will work fine in the 9006 housing

To be technical 9006 has Painted tip for low beams and 9005 has exposed ends for high beams. The bulbs and harnesses are the exact same besides that

I changed my mind. I wouldn't put HID's in these housings if I go this route. I'll either go LMC housing and stock-ish bulb.......or stay with some form of projector headlight.

Had a similar set up on my old firehawk. Great lighting and a more cost effective route then some hid conversions out there.

My hids from ddmtuning came in. Pair with the lenses, it's perfect. I can see now. I aimed them pretty low to help others on the road, but I'm just happy I can see again! Gotta order new fogs and lights for the tahoe.


I'm about to leave for a moment, I'll try and snap a night pic.

I think, I might have did 5k, but here's some light output.



Sorry for the crappy shaky phone photos. Lol

I figured they would look good. Ordered a set of 8k fogs last night, should have them today. Off topic, but you guys are costing me a lot of money! hahahaha Having a blast working on this car though, so worth every penny to me!
