Hello there, this is my first time posting and I have a problem with installing 6000K HID kit into my 2009 2.5 altima coupe. Problem is that, I have a 6000k kit and the bulb is h11. However, when I took out the stock bulb from my car to install my new bulb, (the bulb looks different also) it wouldn't fit. So I was wondering if H11 has different shape to them. Please help me. (I got my kit from Gothidkit.com) And provide me with some solutions.. Thanks guyshttp://www.micksgarage.ie/Imag...a.jpgthis is the stock bulb that i havehttp://www.h11bulb.com/images/h11.jpgthis is the shape of h11 bulb that I bought from the site.

What problem are you having? And so far, from what I recall and your pictures, everything seems fine.

I believe the bulb size really matters for base of the bulb.

Anyways.... yea. Let us know what problems you're having and I could probably be of more help.

the h11 bulb that I have doesn't go inside of where the stock bulb used to be, it won't fit properly. So you are telling me, the shape of the bulb doesn't matteR? thanks for the reply by the way!

no the shape doesn't matter, H11 should fit.

the only way i could see the shape being an issue, is if the new bulb is too long and is hitting the reflector cap thingy (yeah i'm technical).

from your pics, the new ones look just like what they should look like. just remember that they have to go in straight, if you're tilted the end of the bulb might hit that reflector cap thingy, maybe you need to work it in by getting the right positioning.
