Hi Guys,
I'm going down the OEM Bi-Xenon headlight route and sourced the drivers side headlight for fairly cheap without a ballast or bulbs.
I used to seed HID kits so I have some ballasts and **** loads of bulbs so I thought it might be a good idea to go down that route.
I know they will work electronically but the H7 is physically a different shape to the OEM D1S bulb which has a box on the back of the bulb.
I managed to trim a bit of the H7 base plate and it sat in the housing fine, the only problem is clipping it in, does anyone know of any sort of adapters out there can let me sit a H7 type bulb into a D1S housing?
I know going down this route I wont have the adaptive/self leveling headlights, but I really don't care as you wouldn't have this anyway on those eBay Xenon units.
Failing on finding an adapter, I could fabricate one out of some nylon block so it clips in right and then run an extra loom through it. Then if I do decide to go fully OEM and get ballasts and Bulbs then I can just swap them out..
Anyone get any other tips or tried something similar?
Cheers, James
