    Well I would imagine since your replacement bulbs for low beam are 9006 you should go with 9006SU, but that is just me.

    well if you have a 7G it would be the 9006 and 9005. 9006 low beam, 9005 high beam. If you have JDM's I am not 100% about those bulbs. I'd say save your money, or just spend a few more bucks and get HIDS...those Silverstars are a waste of time imo

    Silverstar Ultra twin pack of 9006SU is 39.95 new pair of Apexcone HIDs 25 plus like 12 shipping. It is cheaper.

    HIDS Are a lot better in my opinion but it would be 25$ for the Apexcone HID Kit + 15$ for the wiring harness, then 12$ for shipping. The difference in the light output is incredible compared to stock, if you go with a good temp. and they look so cool

    Don't go with the silverstars. If you want bright halogens, look for philips extreme +80% or GE Nighthawks. The nighthawks are rated at +90%. If you dont know what the "+ #%" means, its a rating. The % number is how much brighter the bulb is compared to a stock halogen bulb. I had the philips and I loved them, not too white but much brighter than a normal halogen.

    In my opinion, get a HID kit from DDM.

    You dont need the wiring harness. DDM kits are plug and play. I know I have 3 of them hooked up right now. Seeing as this isnt an HID technical thread I will just prove my point so OP doesnt go out and buy 15 bucks of shit he doesnt need.



    That is an example of one of my sets of H1 HIDs and my Fog light H11 ballast.

    The 9006 connector as its labeled is universal, there is a wire that into stock harness on the other end of that wire is the 9006 connector. The 9006 connector goes into the ballast ballast has plugs to bulb you turn on lights ballast charges bulb bulb ignites boom thats all she wrote.

    Also seeing as OP has 9006 already on his car he can plug stock harness into ballast. Ballast to bulb and he is done. Just as easy as changing bulbs and cheaper then Silverstar Ultras.

    my first set of HID was $650.00 9 years ago, and i bought 2 more @ $450.00 each for my hi beams and fogs a year later. you guys are spoiled.

    I'm not looking for anything fancy like HIDs. I just need something with more visibility than stock. I was planning on getting HIDs but I'm not gonna have the car that much longer:/

    Buy hids now for your car, make a 4300k set. When you get a new car, order new bulbs(just the bulbs) and sell the old ones on here. You get hids both on your new car and old car. Plus you might make some money back. I think its a win win.

    Im sorry, i have an 8g. maybe it is different? That pic you posted is the Slim digital kit right? I have the Apexcone Raptor ballast (not-digital) from ddmtuning and they require a wiring harness. Or am i wrong? i have mine ran thru a wiring harness.


    This is the relay on my wiring harness
