The HID headlights on this 2001 Cadillac Seville were
installed by customer S.T. of Naples Florida. This Seville did
not come from the factory with HID lights so S.T. used our
9006 kit with the 4300K OEM / White color HID bulbs. If your
Seville already has factory installed HID lights, then it will use
HID-D1S size bulbs that you can find on our HID-D1S bulb
page.
If you have an STS that was upgraded with a kit and you need
replacement kit bulbs, our 9006 size kit bulbs can be found at
the bottom of our main bulb page. (kit bulbs at bottom)
