Fitted HID kit to my J-Spec with 9005 bulbs you just need to file a small bit off two of the lugs, takes 10 minutes, use a bit of cardboard to make a template from your original bulbs.

 

You shouldn't need to do any modification to a 9005 HID kit, on normal bulbs you will need to file the ribs on the connector so that they can connect with the loom.

Going to order a HID kit for a Supra......does anyone know the bulb type for a 98 J-Spec TT????

 

I have been told its a 9006 I need....but could do with clarifying if any members have had it installed.

 

Correct J-spec bulb specs are:

Low Beam = 9006J

High Beam = 9005J

 

However the J bulbs are not available outside of Japan AFAIK and I have never seen an HID kit with these bulbs. The 9006J has a narrower body compared to the 9006 (HB4) bulb (20mm and 22mm respectively, see diagrams) so the 9006 (HB4) will not fit in J-spec headlight.

 

To get around this you can fit a 9005 (HB3) bulb in the dip beam instead, on an HID kit this should be a straight swap, with a normal 9005 bulb you will need to file off the ribs on the bulb connector.

Why not try Nic above, he'd have more competitive price than that id say !

 

Thanks :thumbs:

 

The HID kit I sell is actually a little more including postage (£5 more :) ), but is the best performing kit for the money that I have tested (I have tested a lot!!).

 

There are a LOT of cheap HID kits now on the market, that are utter cr*p, ie. give worse illumination and are prone to failing. Cheaper is definitely not better when it comes to HID kits, you tend to get what you pay for.
