So I effed up and accidentally ordered 9006 bulbs with my hid kit from DDM :angry94: But I know that 9006 are VERY similar to h11 is it possible to fit 9006 in the low beam socket? I heard that all you have to do is trim back part of one of the tabs and it'll twist right in....Yea I know not ideal but I don't feel like returning and exchanging if I can make these work

NO.
H11 socket (hole) is too small for HB4(9006) bulb base. H11 is similar to H8/H9; 9006 socket 'does' fits H10 bulb for testing purpose.
