Default HID Bulb conversion question

Hey yall,
I was wondering what size bulb our fog light housing used and also if this kit from ebay was worth looking into?

By the way, would yall recommend any specific ebay dealers?

Thanks!

9006 is the fog bulb and I would not buy that HID kit posted in the Ebay hotlink. Looks cheap because the cost is $50, but shipping is around another $50. Spend a little more on Zenon Depot and get the pice of mind. Remember, cheap kits burn out fast and the ballasts are junk and will flicker more often than not.

Depends if you have AFS/HID Xenons already OEM...

Its either D4S/D4R or H11 (non hid conversion with ballast) depending...

I hope i know what im talking about lol

BUT NOW BRIAN IS GOING TO COME ON BY AND GIVE HIS EXPERT OPINION LIKE USUAL LMAO

Fog: 9006 bulb
Headlight: D4S H11 (only if non HID)

If you do not have Xenons....you need the H11 Conversion kit with ballast.

http://www.mobilehid.com/products.htm
(Headlights) - H11

** in your signature it says you have the premium package. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF 2006 PREMIUM PACKAGE IS STANDARD BI XENON HID?

If it is,...(Istreefidy) that means you already have HID's as stock OEM
Meaning you need the D4S replacement bulbs only.

Turn on your headlights and if you hear a buzzing like a million bees, You have HIDS(D4S OEM) . If you dont hear that, then you have Halogen(H11 bulbs)


Fog lights are 9006 bulbs Regardless if you have HIDs or not in the low beams.
