hi guys, pretty much noob to headlight mod, specs..
anyway, im purchasing a 06 projector HL WITHOUT ballast and bulbs.. Currently I have 05 HL WITH stock bulbs, ballast..etc..
Once i get the 06 projectors, would i have to purchase new ballast AND bulb? or just bulb? I think the 05 ballasts can be used on 06 projectors..correct?
Now if I need new bulb for 06, which ones would I need? low, high etc....and how much would it cost on average?
thanks in advance guys!

ok
Ok, so now i know everything else can be transfered from my 05 headlight EXCEPT bulbs.
now.."bulbs" meaning low/high/turn..etc? or just low beam D2S bulb?
So my question is, how many of which bulbs do I have to purchase to make this 06 projector work? Do I just need to buy a pair of D2S (thinking phillips 6000K untinon) and im set? and can use all the other bulbs from my 05?
Sorry.. this is confusing to me..I don't even know how many bulbs there are in each headlight..shoot me..

Thank you in advance for everyone helping me out. I really appreciate it

For your bulb questions, please see the Lamp Replacement Guide Sticky at the top of this forum:
https://g35driver.com/forums/lightin...ent-guide.html
It will break down, in detail, exactly which bulbs and types are used in each year headlight/car.
It gives the specific bulb type so you will know which type to look for when ordering.
There are 4 bulbs in both headlights.
03-05: Fog/hi | low | blinker | clearance strip light
06+: fog | hi/low | blinker | city light

thanks visibiliti for all your help! If you can, can you answer me another question? someone asked this question in the thread you linked me, but was not answered.
will I be able to use 7443 instead of 7440 in 06 lights? (blinker)
How about H4 instead of H1 in 06 lights? (fog)
damn I know i can get a pair of D2S for about $200
but If the blinker and fogs are not interchangeable, I might as well be spending more than $300 for the bulbs.. or am i wrong? how much does stock 06 7440 and H1 usually go for?

I'm also puzzled by this.
2005: Xenon Low, Halogen High
2006: Bi-xenon/low+high
If I have the 2005 ballast, how do the high beams work?
Does the ballast or the bulb dictate if you have bi-xenon?
