PO did some things to the headlights, can anyone help me figure out what I'm working with? My driver side low beam went out and now it's time to figure out this waffleswaffleswaffleswafflesery...
The low beam bulb is cloudy and blown up, says it's a 9006 but with no brand, appeared to be a 6.something k bulb when it was working.
The ballasts are a chrome finish, have some random illegible numbers printed on one side but worn off, and it's had what appears to be a light blue semi transparent label that was ripped off. They're pretty big.
The enclosures are your typical Hella US spec ellipsoids.
I don't like the bulbs that were in it because they were way too blue for my tastes, what are my options when replacing them? I assume I need to figure out what my ballasts are before I can pick out bulbs right? Are there any decent white colored (~4k or so) lights I can put in it, or should I rip out all the wiring and just go back to stock 9005's?
Oh yeah the back of the low beam in the car has wires coming right out of it, unlike the plug-style 9006's that are (normally) in the high beams... If that matters...
I am retarded when it comes to headlights, and it doesn't help that this is the only thing that isn't oem on the car...
