9006's fit 9012's???
 
What up homies!!

Ok I just want to confirm something. Ive seen a few super old post that state that the 9006 headlight bulb is identical to the 9012 OEM except that the 9006 has an extra tab that needs to be filed down. Can anyone please confirm?

If so, I really can use a quick run down on how I can remove my front bumper. My B-Day is this month and my mechanic (aka ol' lady as most of you know haha) will buy me a HID conversion Kit 6K but none come in 9012. Unless anyone can tell me where I can find one. Let me know homies!!

:thumbsup:

yep one of the tabs needs to be trimmed down a bit and it'll fit.

Grim, I JUST did the conversion a day or two ago. My 9006 kit fit fine, I didn't have to file down anything, I kind of had to use a little wedging to get the bulb in there but no modifications.

Cool guys thanks for all the info. I already bought the kit though. $120 from some new site trying to get a name for itslef. I have 6K coming and I had 10K sitting here for a while so either will be ok. Oh and thanks for the link red!!
