Hey guys i just got a NEW Generation HID system. the Ballast ate 4x2 and like less then half a inch thick. and NO Ignitor. the Bulb goes in this 1x1x1 housing. that housing is pretty thick and once the bulb(D2S) there is no room for the it to fit a Gen4 H4 Headlight bulb housing. i was wondering if one of you have had retro fitted and had any easy solutions. i know someone from Solora Guy did it, but i cant find the post. but please help me out. i know alot of people on here have done there lights.

thanks in adv,

pics? No, there aren't any plugs to make the H4 socket in. Chances are good you'll need to do some rewiring along with relays. BTW, there's no "NEW Generation HID" system or at least not that I've heard about. If by that you mean slimmer, it's been around for a while. Good luck, and take some pics! :p

First you need a D2R bulb. D2S are for projector lights.

These bulbs with glued on bases....you want something with a molded on base, as it's higher quality and maintains its position better.
