I had ordered LB an HID kit for her car for her birthday this past Wednesday and the kit came in last night.
Without her knowing what I was ordering, I had used Sylvania's bulb size chart as a reference as to what I needed to order. The site calls for a 9006 bulb for a 2005 Miata so that's what I ordered.
We get home last night and all excited to install the kit. Remove the passenger side low beam bulb to see that it's an H7, not a 9006. I thought I was crazy so I looked on Sylvania's website again and it does in fact call for a 9006. So I called Mike and he had confirmed that his car has 9006 bulbs as well. WTF?? At this time, LB had informed me that the 04-05 MSM headlamps use a different bulb size so we start doing some research and this is what I found.
To make things even more odd, I called Eric to see what he though the bulb size was and he was referencing the bulb size they had ordered for Kris's (GVFanatic) car. He said his uses an H4B although they are the projector style lamps as well.
So lesson learned.....always check each car when buying bulbs! :p

- Black 2005 MSM's use 9006's
- Lava Orange 2005 MSM's use H7's
