Need help on HID Kit
 
I recently bought an HID Xenon kit for my H7 Halogens and I'm not sure how to ensure that the bulbs don't move during rough rides. The bulbs does not securely fit the old bulb socket so I had to make do with the rubber sockets that goes with the kit. It snugly fits in the hole but I just want to make sure that its secure enough because it does not tighten like the twist type socket. Any suggestions?

So you're trying to fit D2S bulbs into H7 sockets...:damn:
Dude just get the HID headlights, halogen H7 bulbs have different focus/reflection point than HID bulbs.

Agreed! You have to buy OEM HID headlights for upgrade, otherwise, the modification is not legal and you may take full resposiblity for traffic accident caused by the glaring light comes from you non-oem HID headlight.

You may find lot of OEM HID headlights in eBay with pretty cheap price compare with dealer's price.

Go back to the vendor and tell him your problem. They probably have a D2s/H7 adapter or whatever you need - don't jerry rig it.
