Default HID retrofit bulbs

I bought a set of "prefabricated" EK 96-98 headlights. Ordered 5.5k color and wanted a little whiter, ordered a set of 4.5k from TRS. Tried them on and they don't fit. According to the seller, the headlights etc were made with Morimoto harness and H1 projectors. The actual bulbs mount to the projector, but not to the harness. The right one is what came with the headlights (they work in every way). The left is the "H1" bulbs I ordered from TRS. They don't mate to the Harness. What gives? Thanks in advance.

Do you have a link to what you bought? What did TRS say when you contacted them?

I would probably recommend getting just a standard H1 bulb so the ends are a standard AMP plugs. What ballasts are you running ?

Theres another amp connectoe that connects to the bulb. It should have come with it in a separate bag when you ordered the bulbs

One end looks like this and it connects to the ballasts
