#63785, "Problem with xenon bulbs and projector headlights"


          

Here is the deal, i bought some xenon bulbs to get a fresh look and light up the road better. The only problem is that the stock 9005/9006 (high and low beam) bulbs do not fit in my projecter head lights. What type of bulbs do i need to get for my projectors to light up the road better? THanks

You have to use the H3 bulbs unless you have dual projectors.

what ^^^ said. the dual projectors SUCK ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate mine so much that i disconnected the bulbs and bought some driving fog lights and drove around only with those. H3 bulbs go in the single projector holes as far as i know.

Single projectors, and I am betting that you need the H3 bulbs. They are the same bulbs that are in our foglights. I highly suggest getting 75W or higher for the bulbs. I am running 100W, but they don't last long because of the heat. I drilled 4 holes in the rear backing plate of each bulb, and hopefully that will help them live longer.

One last question... are high beam and low beam the same bulbs?

THanks for all the help.

Those are the correct bulb for your low beam. I believe that the high beams use H1 bulbs. I'm not 100% sure though because it has been a long time since I've had those projectors.
