Thorin Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Think it's 9006 for UK spec, 9005 for j-spec (unless it changed with facelift cars), but I can't remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave222 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Fitted HID kit to my J-Spec with 9005 bulbs you just need to file a small bit off two of the lugs, takes 10 minutes, use a bit of cardboard to make a template from your original bulbs.

VELOCITY Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Ive got a 8000k HID system in my J-spec cost just under £200 and used 9005 bulbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Fitted HID kit to my J-Spec with 9005 bulbs you just need to file a small bit off two of the lugs, takes 10 minutes, use a bit of cardboard to make a template from your original bulbs. You shouldn't need to do any modification to a 9005 HID kit, on normal bulbs you will need to file the ribs on the connector so that they can connect with the loom.

I have been told its a 9006 I need....but could do with clarifying if any members have had it installed. Correct J-spec bulb specs are: Low Beam = 9006J High Beam = 9005J However the J bulbs are not available outside of Japan AFAIK and I have never seen an HID kit with these bulbs. The 9006J has a narrower body compared to the 9006 (HB4) bulb (20mm and 22mm respectively, see diagrams) so the 9006 (HB4) will not fit in J-spec headlight. To get around this you can fit a 9005 (HB3) bulb in the dip beam instead, on an HID kit this should be a straight swap, with a normal 9005 bulb you will need to file off the ribs on the bulb connector. http://img453.imageshack.us/img453/7446/90069006j2db.jpg http://img453.imageshack.us/img453/4710/90059005j9xk.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Why not try Nic above, he'd have more competitive price than that id say ! Thanks The HID kit I sell is actually a little more including postage (£5 more ), but is the best performing kit for the money that I have tested (I have tested a lot!!). There are a LOT of cheap HID kits now on the market, that are utter cr*p, ie. give worse illumination and are prone to failing. Cheaper is definitely not better when it comes to HID kits, you tend to get what you pay for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
