I'm looking into buying some HID's for my 500. I want to order the 6000k 35w kit from DDM tuning, but I've heard a few people mention that, instead of the OEM size 9006, to use a 9005 size bulb. Apparently, its the same as a 9006, but just slightly shorter. I know that the HID 9006 bulbs are slightly longer than our OEM 9006, but is it really that big of a difference? I did some more research, and even on other car sites a few people are saying if the bulb is too close it could cause burn marks, melt the lens, or cause discoloration of the lens from the heat.. is any of this true? I figure the 9006 bulbs will probably be just fine and I'm worrying too much, but I just want to double check before I make the purchase and end up having to buy new headlight assembly's 
Thanks!
