The one pcers. use h4 bulbs so the 9006 bulbs won't fit you'll have to modify the hid ballast plug to plug up to the H4 hid bulb.
I think that is going to be pretty hard tho. good luck.

Just use an H4 kit...

The one piece JDM lights do use H4 bulbs..why not just use an HID kit designed for H4's? If you already have the kit and can't return/exchange it...then you should be able to modify it to fit the 9006's...good luck though it'll most likely cause a lot of and

or you can talk to member andoOCK(?) and he can install real BMW or Audi HID projector lights into the one-pieces. I haven't seen pics of it but he says he can do it and he's done many conversions that look A+. It's not even that expensive for him to do it for you. Do a search, there should be a thread about that somewhere.

Buy an H4 kit and save yourself the hassle.


Just a warning, your JDM headlights are already facked because of the aiming of them...you can only fix it so much really because of the beam pattern. People flash me highs all the time. If you put in HIDs, especially without the projector you're gonna blind people frequently.

Why don't you adjust them. Mine aim too low and I have to adjust them a bunch to get the light higher. To adjust them did you turn the thing that looks like a gear on the back of the light?

Yeah I know what your talking about but you can't adjust the beam pattern created by the reflectors that are part of the housing...

I'm no expert but I thought the JDMs were inherently problematic becasue of the actual housing, not just the aiming of the bulb. AFAIK I can't make my JDMs aim like USDM headlights, not even close...
