Nope 9006 Bulbs dont fit into the D2R socket, Well they can but with Modifications. They are not Plug-and-Play.

What is "it says that its already..."
"... what's the bulb for ...." There are a lot of bulbs- ?

Why don't you just look up whichever bulb you're trying to ask about?

the gen2 TL low beam only- is HID (d2- ? varies with year/projectors)
meaning it uses a ballast and capacitor/ignitor system to operate the lights
EXTERME high voltages involved at bulb startup and running


high beam is a standard parts store available--- halogen/zenon 9006
fogs are the same as high beams but in 3000k for yellow

you can retrofit hid into highs,,
I would not in fogs because too bright,, and bounces light back at you,,
not the desired result in low viz conditions
