Are these H7 or D2S on my 06 mazda3 ??

[raydeon]

so i just bought this car today, and planning to put in a set of HID...

and here comes the problem, do they use D2S or H7 ??

I thought all stock projectors r using D2S but the guy who sold me the car told me they are just regular halogens(i assume he's talking about H7), but regular halogen in stock projectors ??

or should i ask, how do i figure out what bulbs does it use without removing the bulb ?(user manuel didn't say)


thx

You can try searching the Mazda3 area of the forum for "head light" or "light bulb".

I know this information has been posted.

If your car came with the OEM HIDs then you use DS2 bulbs. If your car came with Halogens then you use H7 bulbs. Both setups (halogen/HID) use projectors, however they're not the same projectors. The HIDs have a better projector, and shield and will have a much better cutoff than you'll see if you put HIDs in the halogen projectors.

If you're not sure if you have HIDs or not then the easiest way is to look on the dash to the left of the steering wheel and see if you have the round level control next to your dimmer control. If you have that then you have HIDs. If you don't then you have halogens.
