[QUOTE="leforte, post: 155920, member: 1943"] Hid SLIght COrrectioN....[COLOR=blue]the d2s bulb will only fit cars that came stock with hids[/COLOR]. if your car has no HID, the d2s bulbs may not fit. the bulb might be able to fit within the bulb socket but this does not mean its at the precies depth. further more, d2s bulb has not locking plate on it unlike our usual h1 or h3 bulbs, so if you do force it down with anything BUT the original bulb d2s bulb holder, you might run the risk of it dislodging itself on a bumpy road and starting a fire due to the high heat HID emits..... ANYWAY... since the hid is only a few hundred dollars.. why not spend a little more for all the performance benefit of a OEM system and sort for a oem HID projector ( e46 would be ideal, but the truth is any projector for a oem fitted HID car will do.) Valkryie: the retrofitting do require vbmenu_register("postmenu_138768", true); vbmenu_register("postmenu_138768", true); a complete stripdown of you headlight as even the e46 projector may not be a direct fit on a e46... namely the alignment of the projector and centrering. another issue would be the mounting holes as only one hole will fit and you would have to redrill the other three to install the xenon projector...
