OK, but he has 9006 bulbs, which are single filament and does not fit in your car.

In summary...they wont work for you.

you're gonna lose your high beams if you're going single filament. our max have dual filament bulbs. one for low beam and one for high. many other makes use two bulbs for high and low.
