anyone? or does no one know?chimmy106 said:Yo I got a 06 6er wanting to convert over to HID! What types of bulbs and where can I find a conversion kit?
Raynman said:Two HID manufacturers that the 6 community have dealt with are XenonExpert and McCulloch (i don't have the link handy here at work). The stock bulbs are H1 so you'll probably want to stick with that bulb. Color output is up to your preference, of course.
Mazda0-6ty said:PIAA makes a H.I.D. bulb that just goes into your O.E.M. LIGHTS AND NOONE will know the difference. I have replaced all mine with them inlcuding my fogs and am more than happy with them. I had actual H.I.D.'s on my VW Jetta and they look the exact same.
Raynman said:Just a point of clarification:
PIAA Xtreeme White Plus bulbs are halogen bulbs, not bona fide HID systems. They're halogen bulbs with a color output similar to HIDs.

Mazda0-6ty said:I merely pointed out an "Alternative" for those who don't have an unlimited budget for these things,but are still looking to improve over O.E.M. (WHICH IT DOES!) as some people have families to take care of,etc and can't justify spending every dime they make on there car as alot of people in the forums are in this position for one reason or another. I KNOW the difference,but that was not what this thread was about in the first place. Please move on as this advice was for people in different situations than that of the people who keep droning on and on about the differences in lighting,but thank you anyway for looking really hard for something to argue about here anyway!
I persay am not cheap either,I already have 10,000 in my car in aftermarket,but my car is NOT daily driver and I rarely even drive it at night anyway so I really don't care that much about the lighting as I drive my Ranger most of the time anyway and save my six for nice summer days.
Besides I have a family and kids to take care of as well as TWO other car payments so my Headlights are NOT my first priority and I am sure I still have as much money invested in my car as most of the people here anyway.
WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD all those people trying to tell me what's what!
To all the others who understand what I was saying in the first place...Good Luck and Have a Great Day!

I actually thought about purchasing those PIAA bulbs that you recommended 6ty. They seem to be a good alternative to the stock headlamps.
There's a sticky on this.......
