Default this is what the back of MY projector looks like...

not too sure about your version but the H7 halogen was fastened with a plastic ring as opposed to a metal clip. this plastic ring will not fit with an HID H7 bulb so it had to be "retro-fitted" using 22 gauge galvanized steel wire.

back of projector:

H7 halogen secured w/ plastic ring:

sorry no pics of the HID bulb in the housing. i used a 5000K HID kit that the Subaru guys are using. a company called Brightstar. i have no complaints about the HID kit, the output is very white light probably just like any other 5000K kit.

Default My bulbs are held in with a wire

as opposed to the plastic ring. Thanks for the headsup.

Default then you should have no problems upgrading to HID...

i think the plastic ring is only with the blacked out version. good luck.

Default thanks, thought they look different. The website ones are not black on the parts around the

projector/highbeam reflector. Yours looks like those parts are black as well.

wonder why the website ones are differnt?
