If you use HIDs in an H7 headlamp projector, bad things will happen.

the 97 lights look bad...

....and I think I can get a very good deal on a set of 00 HID lights that are cleared.

I guess I should keep looking for 99+ stock A4 lights then

Re: why go from xenon to H7 though?

This is what I was looking at.

I thought that it was not a direct bolt on upgrade to the complete HID setup and I assume the auction does not come with everything. I was asking if I could use the H7 bulb in the HID housing.
I was thinking of this post by Andy_TN, but he used S4 Xenon housings, not HID.
