Need help in my 06 Altima.

I have a 06 Altima with halogen headlights, and i want to put some hid on it, but now i cant figure out which bulb to get, the H1 that the halogen headlight uses, or the D2R that the stock xenon headlight uses, i dont know if the d2r will fit in the halogen housing, i well aware of the glare from xenon in halogen housing and thats stuff, so please skip that part.

You can't put a d2r bulb in a halogen housing. You have to buy a xenon kit (bi-xenon if your car requires it). It comes with rebased bulbs (H1) in your case. Check out the group deal section on here.

No. If it uses an H1 xenon bulb, you buy an H1 xenon kit. It's not a d2r bulb.
