Default HELP!! with my Xenon Kit install. the bulb doesn't fit in the hole!! ..

I have the SPP Xenon Kit, Stage II. The blub doesn't fit inside the projector hole. I actually started to dremel away at the hole to make it bigger (not that great of an idea) and now that metal holster fell off.

I'm wondering whether or not the Stage II bulb will even fit our cars. Anyone else has this prob? If so, how'd u fix it?

Thanks

Default Re: Zenon Kit??.. or just adding Zenon Bulbs... If adding bulbs I had same problem..more..

I ordered the higher watt blueish bulbs to install in my A4 as a quick cheap improvement. They probably shipped you the H7 bulbs to insert into the current lenses. Mine did not fit Either. I had to check around and there is a different part number for the more narrow bulb which fits. I will try to get that number for you and post friday. Usually whoever you bought it from can fix the problem with a different bulb type if you explain its to wide in diameter.

Default it looks like they have the H7 adaptor on it, but the bulb/metal stick seem to be a bit bigger ...

than the diameter of the regular H7 bulb.
