    HID bulbs

    I know that my car is using H7 bulbs. However, I heard something about D1S, D2S and even D4S. Seems that they can fit in, too. Indeed what's the difference between them? More light output or what? Thanks

    there is an adapters for D2S and D2R to H7. Basically you have to take some plastic of D2S DSR bulbs to make them fit in H7

    well H7 isnt supposed to be HID so the D2S bulbs are probably better quality.

    Another question. You have difficulity installing the 55W ones? Because the website said that it is 1cm longer than the 35W. I am afraid that there are not enough room for that.
