So I have aftermarket headlight housings in my 98 Accord Sedan. I know stock low beam bulbs are the 9006 socket. The way my headlights are set up is an H7 bulb which plugs into the standard 9006 socket. My question is, Im buying an HID kit, so do I need to buy an H7 kit or a 9006 kit? All help is appreciated.

Thanks guys.

 

If your aftermarket housing takes a 9006, then purchase a 9006 kit. It will work perfectly. The only difference in the kit will be the adapter on the burner. The 9006 seems that it would be the right choice provided that the aftermarket housing is manufatured for them (which of course is the case).
In short, buy the 9006 kit, it will be perfect.
Good Luck

 

what brand of aftermarket lights do you have? the ones ive seen use an h1 bulb and an h1 to 9006 converter to plug into stock lights.

 

thats weird. pics of housings??

 

here are some pics of a conversion I did. Keep in mind that the colors on the pics don't do the real look any justice. This is a 9006 conversion kit;
This is a 5000k conversion using D2S burners. Very white at night. The lights fit perfectly into the housings nice & snug and look amazing.

 

Those lights look dull! I'm sure they aren't really like that. What kinda kit did you end up getting and how much?

 

I <3 It.
