Question headlights again...

So about a 1-1/2 years ago I bought a set of AE headlights from customangeleyes.com costing $1450. Last week the bulb burned out and of course nobody has the H7 HID bulb the "kit" came with here in town. They also wanted me to "glue in" the bulbs. Well that is now satisfactory for me! Couple questions here:

1) What bulb is supposed to go into this projector? See link:

2) The factory calls for a D2S bulb. I found these adapters to plug into a factory D2S bulb and the ballasts that came with the AE lights but how to do hold the D2S bulb into this projector (linked above). If you could find the holder on eBay that would be great or even a good picture of one.

Hope this makes sense. I just want this stuff to be right, and parts of this it seemed pretty cheap.

Glue bulbs into your $1500 headlights? Why not wait a few days and order bulbs here HIDExtra.com - The Best Source for HID Xenon Light Conversion Kits H7 5000K HIB Bulb. I bought my foglight HID conversion kit from them for $60 shipped after using coupon code "besthid-m". Also, when you order from them, ask them to include the free resistors. I don't know if they offer discounts on just bulbs, but I know they offer a 2 year, no questions asked warranty.

ya i was pretty pissed when somebody at customangeleyes.com told me to do that. But that really didnt answer my question. Does anybody know for sure that the H7 is supposed to fit that housing, and if so what is the correct way to mount that bulb in the housing?

Maybe you could try taking the lights to your local parts store and see which bulb looks like the best match for you headlight? I'm really not sure how to help you here man.
