    Do Not pay over 65 bucks for HIDs.

    Hello all, just to let you know our bulbs arent specialized bulbs. they are the same as 9006 bulbs. Happy installing!

    9012 HIR2 is nothing more than a 9006 with Halogen InfraRed technology. HIDs are easily twice as bright as these.

    also, 5000K 35W looks FACTORY on our little Fiats.

    i got mine from DDM tuning for 49 bucks shipped. Lifetime warranty.

    Yeah HID kits are nowhere near as expensive as they used to be. Years and years ago I spent almost $300 for a 7000K kit. Now you can purchase a solid kit for under $50.
    2012 FIAT 500 Sport- Azzurro/Brown, 5 speed, Sirius XM/Bose, ATC, Sunroof, 6000K HIDs.
    1998 Volvo C70 HPT Coupe- Saffron/Soft Silver, 5 speed, too many mods to list.

    I paid $100 flat for 6000K HID's, i think $100 is just about average for a good brand. I have seen them go for $65 for noname brands.

    It's funny how now a HID kit is much cheaper than buying brighter halogen bulbs, and HID's obviously give you the better light output.

    So basically, I just choose the 9006 hid kit for our fiat500? Is it plug and play? thanks

    I paid $66 for HIDs because I buck the system. It's what I do.

    You should actually use 9005, they are slightly shorter than 9006 so they won't sit too close to the glass, you might see your projectors change color over time with the heat of the bulb so close.

    Just a tip!
