Are HID's directly compatible or do I have to modify the housing to install them ?

in particular the xenonshop HIDs have H7 plates, so they fit filament level with stock.

Default Have to modify the housing

You can buy D2S bulbs with H7 plates on them, but you need to cut the housing to get the wiring from the ballast to the bulb.

There's a number of FAQs on the subject, I'll check my bookmarks tomorrow when I get back to work.

(Yeah, I don't usually have this much free time...)

Default You have to modify the rear cover a bit to allow for the thicker cord to exit

the light assembly. But other than that, it's a 1 to 1.5 hour job. And the results are incredible!
