Well if you get an email from him stating that its a 9006 bulb, you can always return it to him and get refunded. Paypal and ebay have a pretty good buyer protection policy.

Very true, they both make buying online pretty safe for the buyer.

recieved projectors today and as expected, uses the wrong bulbs...

looks like ill be trying out the retrofit

the bulbs are cheap to buy seperately if your interested in that.

Ya once you have the ballast, i'm pretty sure you can swap it out for the right bulb size. Good luck with the retro fit though if you decide to go that route! It's worth it!

bulbs and converter cost about the same as a new kit, so ill prolly just buy a new kit and sell the one i have

Last time i was looking on ebay...you could pick up a paid of replacement bulbs for about 25 bucks....sounds a lot cheaper than paying for a whole new set and having to mount the ballast again. that was the biggest pain in the ass lol. what bulb size do your new headlights take? h3's?

You don't need a new ballast. Just a bulb. You can use your old ballasts.
