    The black ones are Halogen only
    the ones in the Link are D1S Hid Bulbs.


    Good to hear that there is no fogging issues!~

    Re: Replica Ecodes

    I was about to go to stock because the crappy depot headlights I have now set off like 2 or 3 warnings on the dash and I am tired of looking at them. Will these do the same or will I have to go back to stock?

    You have warnings from the headlight housing?

    Re: Replica Ecodes

    I have no idea where the warning is coming from other than the stock plugs are bypassed because of a 10k HID kit and it has fake angel eyes which are ugly as sin. Ive had the car only 2 weeks now so still learning the fixes.

    The cause of the headlight out warning is because of the 10K HID kit ballast, and the angel eye running lights.

    Exactly. You can get OEM HID ballasts, connecting cables and burner's from HID Concepts for a good price as a kit purchase.

    No, D1S is with the square integral igniter at the base of the lamp, where as D2S is identical burner without the built in igniter.

    If you have OEM xenons, then you would need to swap the ballasts and D1S lamps, and the cable connecting the ballast to the lamp.

    Re: Replica Ecodes

    shipping was fast 4-5 days.. installation is very simple too, plug and play, + little drilling through the bulb caps if u need to put an aftermarket hid kit in there...

    the only thing what was wrong is the allignment... i had to spend little time alligning the beam.. when it came it was wayyy down...

    after:



    fitment is rated B.. (by me) lol

    ... lets see ur cutoff when u put em in, im wondering if mine are defective

    Re: Replica Ecodes

    I'll post up pics before i do any adjusting. So your parking lamps don't turn on at all? Did you have to wire it differently to do that?

    How would your cutoff deem your headlights defective? You have HIDs in halogen housings, of course the cutoff is not going to look right. The housings were not designed for that.

    cutoff doesn't look that crisp. I have HIDs in my non hid housings on my b5, and the cut off is really crisp and strong.

    Re: Replica Ecodes

    Aleksey, have you had any issues with fogging at all? Are the adjustment screws the same as ones on the OEM housings? I've been really wanting to pull the trigger on these for a while.

    I'm talking about the amber bulbs. They don't come on when you turn your headlights on? How about the daytime driving lights, do they automatically come after start up?
