I bought my black headlight housings a while back and really liked them. The light output from the bulbs that came with the housings were better than ANY other bulbs I have bought (I have 3 different pairs of 9006 bulbs all not as good). The weird thing is that it looks like the guy who sold me the housings somehow retrofitted a H1 bulb into a 9006 base so that it could be used in the housing. Take a look?! Anyone ever seen this, or know how you would do it? Last edited by Pure2sin; Apr 23, 2010 at 01:35 AM.

Yeah it is glued in. The light output is so much better off H1 bulbs than 9006 bulbs. I e-mailed the guy he said that I should be able to just use a H1 non modified bulb in the housing since he modified the housing to accept an H1. Otherwise he said I can buy the modified bulbs from him. I have some (Ebay) H1s on order so we will see. I just thought it was weird and wondered if anyone else was running these bulbs, they are WAY better output than 9006s.

Yeah sorry I took them on my phone. Its an HID H1 bulb inside of a 9006 base. I didn't figure it out until I had bought 3 sets of 9006 HID bulbs and they didn't look as good. I have some H1 replacements on the way hopefully they will just go into the modified housing otherwise the guy I got the headlight housings from said $35 a pair for the H1 inside the 9006 base. Seems like kind of a rip off at $35 but I guess we will see if the H1's work.

What do you mean by HID light kit? Cause I have ballasts and everything installed and the bypass relay installed. I should take a picture of the housings. The guy actually modified the socket that the HID bulb goes into. In theory from what he says lol it will take either a 9006 HID bulb or a H1 HID bulb. Otherwise I actually have 2 other sets of HID ballasts and bulbs. So far the combo I have on my car with those H1's work the best. PS-- I am going to buy a camera this week. lol Last edited by Pure2sin; Apr 26, 2010 at 01:00 AM.
