6G Celicas Forums

Yeah, that trip was one hell of a ride. haha I have a broke front right shock... after the trip my shock was clearly bent! lol. Time for a new set... I will be creating a thread on my retrofit process and what not. Off to Benzo's for a few drinks.

They refer to the style of bulb or connector they come with. Meaning a car that takes a h1 bulb would not need a h4 bulb as the housing or connector might be different. In another way every bulb in a category will have a different size glass bulb and its focal point and filament will be different or designed to a specific spec for that headlight reflector.

As for 6k vs 8k. Those will both be blue... the 8k more purple. You can look every where online and get a color chart that shows that 6k is pure white and another listing it as deep plasma blue. Truth is that O.E.M. H.I.D. bulbs "D2S" are rated at 4300kelvin and are very brilliant white and color shift "change color as they get older" Blue tint does NOT help you. It hurts you. I will be doing a write up with in the next week or two on a retrofit with true projectors.

You mention 9006 bulbs... thats your low beam right? I gotta look at the posting rules first but I strongly suggest you look for Philips Xtreme Power 9006 HB4 bulbs. I have a link to a reliable and CHEAP store... I am confident those low beams will illuminate the road way better for you than the 35watt hid kit. these will plug into your stock harness and not require anything but plug and play. I think these low beams will be a huge upgrade over even your high beams!

Enough for now.. lmk if you want more info...

I guess I typed my email address incorrectly when signing up for an account. *waiting for the confirmation email* lol anyways... My name is Manuel and I was the guy who brought the Mazda truck which nearly broke down on the way but was able to get AJ's Celica up and running when his battery decided to act up. I came up with following with AJ and Benzo and later we went on a long trip around and around. From Fresno till we got to the spot I had 212miles... x.x lol


Anyways, Sorry I don't own a Celica but I am a car guy either way and I got a ton of knowledge in various topics.

I'm currently working on a H.I.D. Projector Retrofit in a H6054 square headlight housing. These will be professional style set up with O.E.M. D2S bulbs and ballasts. I will also be doing a retrofit for Benzo, he just doesnt know it till he see's how legit it will be.
