Hey can anyone tell me what bulbs the 1990 240sx comes stock with? I'm trying to convert to a purple colored HID headlight and I need to know what kind of bulb to order. Thanks

6054 are sealed beams, our cars came with the older style units where you changed the entire light. lens and all you can get different conversion kits on ebay so that you can use more modern bulbs like the h4

The correct way to do it is retrofit REAL projectors into the housings. However this is costly and requires some work. There are some write ups floating around for pop-up lights.

The crap on ebay are bright, but blind everyone. They aren't a true HID kit with cutoff.
