9006's are vastly different than 9007's. The connectors are different, but more importantly, 9006's have a 90 angle in their body. So even if they did plug in, they would be facing straight down or up. No chance.

:withstupid:

To my (limited) knowledge, the only other bulb that shares a 9007 connector style is the 9004. But the filament configuration is different, but I don't think that would be an H.I.D. issue.

The high and low wires are different on 9004/9007 bulbs. That's why when you buy bixenon hid's you have to switch the wires.

I didn't know what the f was going on with mine till Crystal showed me.

Sucks that you pretty much have to get rice projectors to properly install HIDs. That's why I don't have them.

^ Assuming you're ready to drop serious cash.

I've seen HIDs run in halogen (stock) housing headlights and be fine. I've also seen mad glare. It's all about using the right temp and aiming them properly.

i've never seen a true hid bulb in a halogen housing that had the correct output, and i don't see how it could since they were designed differently. if it did work they would have never made hid projectors. 4.3k is the optimum temp for hid light output and anything over 6k begins to loses light output.
