D2S rebased to fit a 9006 socket (if using stock projectors), regular D2S if you're doing an OEM projector swap.

I dunno about the cutoff though. It MAY** be better to get D2R rebased 9006 because the cutoff may be cleaner . Any opinions?

The D2R strip is pretty much useless. In the past, people have purchased D2R kits only to find that there's no difference in terms of glare vs. a D2S version. You are just cutting down on lumen output. This is why most reputable companies like autlamps never offered D2R versions.

i don't think there is really such thing as d2r rebased to 9006, just kinda meaningless to do it coz' it's not going to have the kind of cutoff anyway. plus i think the 95 sc has projector setup right? i would say get d2s.

Just be aware that there is a slight green if you put HIDs into your SC stock projectors.

It's a very faint green color on the outer rim that can only be noticed from far away by a hardcore HID fan.
