That's single beam(just low beam)
You don't need can bus...
I have Kensun.com 8000k's in mine
The have HID low beam and halogen High
This combination is the easiest install

Hey man 1 thing, do you see the back of the bulb is bigger than normal, keep that in mind with bi-xenon.
I was a bit sceptic about that but post pic if you have them

[Chris1987]

not have them yet but soon will be, going to be 1st step of many mods, hopeing for cold air intake and custom exaust, debating weather to wait until warranty runs out for the last 2 things though.....

Hi, MSBurger065 please post some pics of your 8000k lights at night

[MSBurger065]

I have a custom exhaust, the lights, an autel maxitrip(nice thing) and alloys.
ulike I'll post 25June as I'm in the USA at the moment and my car is in RSA.
I changed my bulbs to 10k, my mazda is blue and looks nice with blue lights.

nice 1, lights look bright, is that the high beam? am happy with the results from my bulb change, no more yellowness  , just finish watching the footie, Gyan should have scored that last minute penalty, unluky 

[MSBurger065]

haha yah that was a terrible miss, I prefer Spain though.  That is low beam but the camera doesn't really show the lights nice, I'll take a pic on the road as that is a huge difference

ok so i got my lights, now i have a few issues and was wondering if anybody from here would be able to help....

my problems are

i am not 100% sure they are the right bulbs, as the box isnt marked for H4 bi xenon its marked 9006-4 HI/LO

i haven't a clue what to do with this tiny black wire on end of each connector for each bulb and i have a plug on the wiring i havent worked out where it goes and also i cant even get the wiring off the current bulbs i have in, i tried pulling the wire for the headlight and all it did was pull the bulb lol and from the pics im going to post i am a bit confused over which wire is connected to the sidelights as theres one near the headlights and then pne further over aswell which btw i cant reach so will have to do it the mazda way anyways heres my pics, theres a few btw.....


this is wire far over from headlight

this is other one nearer to headlight

thi is the back control box

this is the wierd 3 prong plug i dont know what to do with

[Chris1987]

this is another wire that comes from the black box, according to manual it goes to the battery

this is the same for both blugs for both bulbs, i dont get what to do with the little circle

this is one of the bulbs

manual

brackets i can use either type for the ballasts i think

these are the sidelights i got free, it said 501's on the website

pic of the wires coming from the bulbs and identical wires coming from ballasts

another pic of the bulb

pic of ballasts and bulbs in box, took the control box out though for the other pics

thats everything lol sorry for the many pics let me know what you all think cos im lost

[Chris1987]

this is the link i bought them from, after buying them i requested h4 and 8000k just incase you think i bought without looking lol
