9006 for sure for all 95-99 low beams. The book should say "HB4" which is equal to 9006. H4 is different, it's for cars like civics which use only one bulb for both low and high beam.

I have a list of applications here:

http://bulbs.importvenom.com

It also shows the HB equivalents to the 9000 series numbering at the bottom of the page.

while we're on the topic... does anyone know what size bulb "for sure" my projectors take. they look nothing like the stock bulbs, they have a wire coming out of the back that connects to another wire. i am so scared to blow a bulb, because i'm not sure if i'll be able to find another one.

i bought them from r-speed.com if that helps.

Most projectors use H3 bulbs. They have a wire coming out of the bulb with a metal contact that you use to connect to the wiring harness.

You getting any special kind of bulbs? Because if you are, dont get Nokyas. They are pure blue and you cant see shit. I have PIAA's and i love em. I'm waiting for my Raybrig high beams. Raybrig is one of the best bulb makers like PIAA. I'll let ya know how they are when i get em.

yeah marcus, you described it perfectly. H3, huh? do they make these things any brighter, because to be honest, my bulbs are dim as hell. i'm assuming i have cheap bulbs in there right now. it's too bad my piaa super whites (9006) won't fit in there.

Unfortunately, almost all projectors I have seen, no matter what car, really are bad at lighting up the road compared to stock. With H3 bulbs, (which are normally only used for fog lights), it's not really good at spreading light across the road. It sucks, but from what I've seen, almost all bulbs no matter what will not work as great as you would hope when put in as an H3 in a projector headlight.

Man - where are you getting your bulbs from. A Honda Dealer. LOL

I got Projector Lights in my Spyder and have:
PIAA SUPER PLASMA H3 (Low Beam)
PIAA SUPER PLASMA H1 (High Beam)
PIAA Xtreme White 1157 (Parking Light)
PIAA PLASMA BLUE 168 Wedge (Bumper Light)

and they all look Awesome, especially the Super Plasma and Plasma Blue. Very bright on the road. Oh Yeah. I also have a Pair of PIAA SUPER PLASMA H3 in my stock Fog Lights.
