I dont know if this will work for all 9006's but it did for the CRX OEM headlights.*

Okay, here goes:

Tools Needed:

  • Ratchet
  • 10 mm socket
  • Long extension
  • Phillips head screw driver
  • OEM HID kit
  • Stock headlights
  • Dremel w/Sanding disc and Sanding wheel
  • SiliconeII glue

    Alright, First you will need to take off your bumper so that you can take out the headlights. If you dont know how to do this please use the search function its been talked about many of times.

    After the headlights are out take out the stock bulbs. on the Main headlights 9006 one (low beam) you will have to trim the black plastic thing all the way to pull the bulb out. Then gently, but still with some force pull that thing off. If you break it www. hondaautomotiveparts.com has replacements for you.

    Now get your dremel and out with disc sanding blade on. (pic below)



    Next you will sand off the things that keep the 9006 bulb in place. So that it will look like the pic below.



    You could sand those other plactic things off if you really get picky, but there is no need to. Next, use the disc sander to grind down into the housing. Be very carefull not to go to deep because you will not have anywhere to mount the HID bulb onto. The pics below shows this done. See how far it is. Not very deep at all. maybe a couple CM at most.



    The point of this is because if you look at the pics below the HID bubble does not line up with the 9006 filament, (the OEM HID bulb is on the left and 9006 in the middle) therefore you need to grind slightly down to make the OEM bubble line up with the 9006 filament. Take your time, its better too take to little off then too much.

    Here is another pic to help show the sanding into the housing. A is stock B is the sanded one.



    Next use the circular sander. (shown in pics below) to make the stock 9006 hole bigger to fit the OEM HID all the way into. Take your time, its better to take too little off then too much.
