Thread: HID Help? 9004 to 9007?

Started 1 month, 3 weeks ago by Rock1620Frontier
Ok, I know I am going to get crap for this, but I have to ask since I would rather not deal with sending this back. I ordered a 55w HID Kit from DDM Tuning and go figure, they sent me the wrong bulb. They sent me the 9004. My question is can the 9004's work? From what I can tell from pictures online they look similar. The whole thing is I am too lazy and annoyed to deal with shipping it...

No, i dont think they will work. i tried the reverse effect on my sisters Xterra. I put 9007 bulbs in hers and hers is 9004. It tripped the high beam light on the dash to always stay on and i think something else, not too sure. As soon as t-mobile stops being a pain and let me make a call, then ill let you know what else.

well off the top of my head i can think of two reasons you will be better of returning the bulbs for the correct one. first, IIRC, the mounting tabs on the 9004 and 9007 bulbs are different so good luck getting them to fit properly into the headlight housing. second, the terminals for the 9004/9007 bulbs are not the same and that is why it will not work properly, as in Jweave's experience. so...

Thanks for the link to the conversion. After reading all that, I am definately going to return and get the correct bulb. The kind of luck I have sometimes I will most likely run into problems of some sort. I appreciate the help guys.

glad to hear you got your answer. good luck on the return and keep us posted on the progress. by the way may i ask if you ordered the bi-xenon?and how much? thanks

Rock1620Frontier replied 1 month, 3 weeks ago
yea I ordered the Bi-Xenon from DDM Tuning 55w kit for $118 total, shipped and all. Though it was backordered for a couple weeks, I am begining to think they put any kind of bulb in there to finish the order.
