Post by: carl reedman on August 05, 2012, 04:51:50 pm

just in need of a little help, went to fit my HID's today (h7) took the old bulb out and now im just confused lol. they is no plug connector attached to the old bulb. does anyone no a way of fitting them? they are auto headlights, turn on when car is unlocked etc if that helps  :confused:

When I fitted HID's to one of my old civics, its standard bulbs were held in an adaptor, much like the golf. Basically you'll have to find a site that sells these adaptors that are for HID's...I drilled out my standard ones but it was not recommended!
