Since SPP is no longer selling them, I would like to find a way to get some back-ups and replacements asap to last me for a while.
Thanks

Where can I buy them? Will they still work with the 50w ballasts I got from SPP? Any and all information would be great since I am pretty unknwledgeable about this stuff.
Thanks

Default actually...my bad...

since your ballast has a different connector...it won't work.

you'll have to convert the ballast wiring to use the D2S bulb.

Default so how do I do that?

Is there a converter I could purchase and wire?
Also, where can I buy those bulbs?
Thanks

Default you checked with SPP?

I spoke to them the other day and they said they had 'some' kits and bulbs left...

its very annoying if theyre not supplying replacements!
i think I'll stay away from the SPP kit

Default Just talked to them....

Apparently these kits are now condiered illegal for sale or something like that. I would gladly purchase some extra sets of bulbs just to be covered but I do not think they can get them anymore for these sets. Apparently they are D2s bulbs machined/modified to fit the H7 socket on the headlights.

Default there is no such converter. You need OEM ballast with D2S connector..

I have the whole kit for sale in the classified section for $280
