I get HID equipment on a regular basis. All I have now is for sale in the 2003 Civic light set. If you like, I can PM you once I get more. I should have somthing within the next two weeks. If the Civic lights dont sell here or on ebay you can buy those bulbs and ballasts if you like.
BTW, what are you going to use them for?

I have no problem selling you parts, but you should know that your plan is flawed. The D2S/D2R bulbs are not meant to be used in a 9006 housing. The physical fit is wrong, and the position of the light source is wrong. Even if the bulb is ghetto-fitted in a 9006 socket, the output will not be very good. Sure, bright light will come out, but it's aim is not proper. You will find an excessive amount of glare will be emitted, and your beam pattern will suffer in one way or another. Depending on the housing, you could experience hot spots, dark spots, very little downroad lighting, very narrow lighting ect.. The stock reflector cannot work correctly (as designed) when the light source is in the wrong location. It's pretty easy to understand when you see them next to eachother. Notice how the HID bulb's arc chamber (source of light) is lower on the bulb then the 9006.. it just places the light source in a different location in your reflector / projector and messes up how the aiming device aims the light.
So again, I will get you parts if you still want to do it that way.. but there is a better way to do what you want to do.
