Nice! Thnx for the answer.

Can I just mount other bulbs in those Low Beams or do I need to change the starter or something else?

So I assume that I can just order a complete set of HID lights in 9005/9006 and start to convert them.

Can I just mount other bulbs in those Low Beams or do I need to change the starter or something else?

You'll want to do your research and look for feedback from customers who have used these. 55W HID kits are usually brighter than 35W kits, but they typically pair 55W ballasts with 35W bulbs, which often leads to the bulbs wearing down prematurely.

You could put HIDs in your Fog Lights, but Fogs have smaller housings, so the kind of light you get out of an HID is usually a bit much in those cases, and can lead to a lot of glare for oncoming traffic. Usually I would recommend LEDs for Fog Lights, so you can get a more manageable upgrade without being too overpowering.

Try the "Philips bulb look-up" function near the bottom of this website...

And that very little light? How is that called again?

Take a look at our Vehicle Lighting Guide to see what bulbs your vehicle uses and let me know if you have any other questions.
