Default For anyone who knows H.I.D.'s

Okay, i just got this set of HID's in off of ebay. They came in from shipping with the one solid ground im assuming cracked. Also the bubble looks like it has other little bubbles in it. I tested both bulbs and they work, but i was wondering it if was to be of concern..

Yes, they are D2R's.

Forget the exact brand, but they were from a mercedes. I lit them up, and super white


Anyone leads on how to get these things into a EK civic housing, without doing a retrofit. Dont have the time or knowledge, or will to pay someone 200+ dollars to retrofit.

Only reason i got these was cuz i got a bangin deal

You should have no problem with the HID blub. Just make sure you don't break that part off. Then it will not work for sure..

Look on eBay for h4 bulb adapter for d2r bulbs. Its a silver part that goes at the base of the bulb to allow the factory bulb holder to keep it in, it also has a caspar shield to give you better cutoff

Link to a bunch of eBay listings for these adapters.
