I was wondering what type of hid bulbs does our car need? D2R or D2S? I could not seem to find it anywhere

 

what kind of car do you have.......

 

sorry i got a 99 2.3 cl

 

1st gens never had hid as an option lol

do you have an hid kit? if so, you'll need 9006 bulbs


d2r and d2s bulbs are used for oem hid systems, while ours are equipped with halogen

 

Our bulbs are 9006, you don't have HID's unless you have an aftermarket kit. Flip and I have d2s, because we retro'd our headlights, but the CL's only take 9006

 

Yea, i have the same in my car, i had to retro as well. The lights are mad bright. I had to make a small roof off of hard carton on top of the ballasts because one day it rained and somehow the drops of rain fell between the crack of the hood, inside the ballast and fried the ballast. So i had to get a new one of ebay.

 

I'm planning on getting some HID's when i get my CL (which will hopefully be tomorrow), once u go HID, you don't go back. I love mine in my legend.


op, just get 9006's and call it a day.

Its always a good idea with HID's to get a good warranty. I got a lifetime warranty with mine, and i had to get a new bulb and a balast (the two were unrelated events), both my fault, warranty covered both, no questions asked. i think mine in the legend are OTTO. I got them thru another forum member (acura-legend.com) I can give u guys his email, if anyone is interested.

 

warranties are important, and it's true once you go HID you never go back

 

Um, please post pics of your car STAT.

kthxbye

 

!


And use 9006 bulbs for ur 2.3 unless you've got projector retrofits.

 

i bought the wrong kit. i bought a kit with d2r bulbs. What will be the difference in getting D2r bulb rather then 9006 bulbs? Also can i use the same ballast used for the D2r bulbs with the 9006 bulb? thanks

 

some in the florida thread https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...5&page=2&pp=25

 

you need to get the d2r's rebased to a 9006, which costs $$$ and isnt really worth it. The ballasts might not work with 9006 HID "kit" bulbs because the connectors are different.

 

 

does anyone know where i can get a 9006 6000k d2r rebased to 9006 bulbs?

 

Ebay

 

ive only seen 4300k bulbs on ebay. I was looking for 6000k. Do they even make rebased bulbs for that temp?

 

Dunno, never looked. I have the real thing
