Where did you get your bulbs for 06 Housings?

If you bought your 06 housings aftermarket where and how much did you pay for the bulbs???

Can you use the same fog lights from the 04's in the 06's? I would thnk that all bulbs except the projectors would be interchangable...


Thanks For The Help.

I got the 7440 bulb for the turn signal from stealth auto.
D2S McCollough 6000k i got from a member here but i also bought a set of 6000k D2S from Ebay which i still have also.
The fog are H1 now instead of H4 like the 03-05 housings.
I used Silverstars in hindsight thought i would have loved to get the yellow H1 though since on the 06 housing the lower light is fog only now.
The city lights you can reuse from your 03-05 housing strip lights.

4300k bulbs on ebay are a fraction of the cost of 6000k bulbs if you're interested in saving money.

not to hijack the thread, if i don't want to spend
alot of money on lights and the price for 4300K
and 5000k bulbs are almost the same. I know
4300k give you the brightest and 5000k might
give you a better look(more blueish), is it worth
to get 5000k?
thanks,
Mike

^^it's more of a personal taste. If you're looking for a slight blue/purplish and the price are about the same. than just get the 5000K...

I'm not too sure where you live but, I live in Los Angeles, and the output I lost with getting the Ultinons didn't matter at all! that's cuz the L.A. area is well lit pretty much everywhere you go.

Is anyone using 6600K in their lights?
