Its definitely a 9006. Its possible that they may have given you the wrong size.

Um, are you 100% positive it didn't fit? I'm not trying to call you stupid or anything, but all Z32 headlights take 9006 bulbs, even the JDM housings do that I have seen.

You should perhaps change the script on the left side of the screen so it says JDM. That way we won't steer you wrong with the few parts that make a difference.

Did someone modify your lights with a different bulb? Can you post a photo of it?

A friend of mine had the exact same problem as your having right now. he had a jdm front clip, including headlights, because he rear ended somebody. his new headlights were just like that. he ended up buying H3 bulbs. what you have to do is wire it to the positive end of the headlight wires, and then you have to ground the negative wire to the clip that holds the bulb into the headlight. it's kinda stupid but its the only way we could figure out to get it to work. i would suggest just buying some US spec headlights at some point.

i know this thread is really old but it never really told what bulb this is i have 2 sets of jdm headlights and both low beams are like this it is a type of H3 it just looks different becuase the ground doesnt have a wire coming off of it. http://www.consumabulbs.com/files/bdet.php?id=148

since my quote a few days less than a year ago, i am 90% sure i read something about JDM (not '99/'00, but '89[Z32]-'98), they used a different bulb that was NOT 9006.

Beat me to it. I have only seen them a couple times and they have always been on imported cars.

Just take some of the bulbs out and see for yourself man, there's not that many on the inside. I think blue lights would look kinda funny, but if you like them, power to ya!

Next time feel free to make a thread instead of bumping one that's almost 2 years old :)
