HID bulbs

I didn't know where to post this question and i figured this is the best place to do it. I know that my maxima headlight blubs are H4 but i found a some 9006 or 9004 HID blubs at my dad garage i was wondering if they would fit or no? Thanks

Do you have HID already? If not no, you can't use HID bulbs with regular halogen headlight systems. HID bulbs need a ballast to help start it up, and maintain the electrical arc in each bulb that produces the light.

Take a deep breath & relax...if I was trying to offend you id make it good so take it easy

You failed to meantion that you had 2k2 headlights. That changes thing a little bit. As for headlights, what are they just an empty shell? of the ballasts ect.. are still attached? Ive converted the 2K2 headlights into my 01 so ive played with em be4...

As for your 9006 capsules, are they D2R or D2S (normally I would know just by the #, but im a little rusty in the HID department)
