USDM is just 9005/9006, thats it... no H names for them. the H things are a different style connector, i think its a japanese thing. w/ the JDM headlights u use H1/H4 bulbs.

wrong, your lows are 9006 and your highs are 9005.. H series bulbs are for different housings.,. which you dont have..

the 900# series bulbs is more of a U.S. standard. only recently have the european and japanese started using the 900# bulbs for headlamps/fogs. most have been using h1/h3/h4/h7/h9.

given that... a 9006 bulb is also known as an hb4. NOT an h4, but an hb4.

just like usc has nicely stated that a 9006 bulb is a bulb in its own it doesnt belong to the h series because it is a different bulb... if you want a kit thats goign to work you need a 9006 HID kit..
