What kind of HID are you talking about? Because the 9006 is just a regular halogen bulb. If you're talking about real HIDs (retrofit) then I believe you need a d2s. They usually cost you an arm and a leg (~$150/pair).

you need 9006...those numbers represent the type of car it will fit in, not if its halogen or not

wow, there's a lot of misinformation in here. if you retrofitted with OEM projectors, ballasts, etc... you should be using either d2s or d2r bulbs... depending on the car the parts came from. more likely than not, you should be using d2s bulbs... which are not:

. you can get them cheaper on ebay or from members here on HT. I'd go with near OEM 4100-4300k bulbs... phillips over osram bulbs... IMO.

however, if you went the cheap-***-ghetto route of using the plug in play sh*t and stuck with your OEM integra projectors, you should be using 9006 bulbs for the low beam... if you went this route, you do not have HID.
