i got a question. i want to do a hid kit for my fogs on my 03 tl-type s. i was jus wondering that if i got the 9006 hid conversion kit. the bulbs should fit with no problems? cuase ive read nd heard mixed things in places but i believe its becuase the ppl were not using the right bulb type kit. or getting them done at crappy shops. thanks

 

My 9006 kit fit just fine.

 

Make sure its a D2R kit.

 

but wait i thought d2r is for the headlights. dont i need a 9006 kit becuase thats the bulb type for the fogs??

 

Youre right. 9006 is for the fogs. Alot of people here have done the D2R s in the fogs, thats when you have to custom fit.

 

alright thats what i figured. which is probably y the shop glued my friends in. becuase i believe it was a d2r. i saw someone elses post on a how to install. n it seems pretty simple/ straightfoward is that true?

 

You want D2R bulbs that have been rebased to fit the 9006 housing. The D2R bulbs are made for the reflector housings in the foglights. The 9006 base is only how the bulb is held within the housing. You can either go with a kit with D2Rs that have already been rebased for 9006 housings or an OEM D2R bulb, which would need to be rebased to fit the 9006. If you buy a 9006-rebased D2R rebased 9006, it will be plug and play, although some people also put in a headlight relay system to protect the stock wiring.

 

alright thats good 2 kno thanks.

 

i was jus lookin on like xtralights.com n wen u go 2 9006 kit theres no choice between d2s or d2r bulbs?

 

I picked up a set of barely used Xtec kit from one of the board for around $200. They have lifetime warranty on the bulbs and ballasts. A lot of Beammers are using this set.

I saw a new set for $320 at understeer.com.

 

oo thanks. but i think im gettin them from my friend cause he got them n i dont think ever even installd them n got rid of the car. n lucky for me its a 9006 kit

 

You should make sure the kit is D2R because the light pattern won't be right with D2S. My guess is one kit is D2S and the other is D2R, and they're just being lazy about listing all the info about the kits. Call or email them.
