Help Please - HID bulbs

Hi all,

I just purchased some HID bulbs for my Disco3 from HIDS4U.

They didn’t send any fitting instructions, I’m a virgin to this and don’t want to mess it up, anyone know how to fit them?

I only have standard reflective lights, I have no idea of any of these wires.

HELP PLEASE

Ok.

Need some more details.

Are you replacing xenon/HID bulbs or trying an upgrade?

Trying an upgrade. I have standard S Model headlight clusters H7 bulbs with the reflectors not the fish eye clusters.

I think you've bought upgrade bulbs for an existing HID install. Ring hids4u and check.

There should be some silver box ballests in there.

The grey and black plugs should plug into a silver box supplied with them.

Then the seperate red and black wires into the Disco connector

They don't look like H7's from here

Take the plastic shipping covers off the bulbs and see if they will fit or what they look like,

Did the listing say H1 ? or H7 ?

He has purchased an aftermarket kit to upgrade normal halogens to HIDs

This can result in dazzling other drivers. Being such a high car, it's probably not recommended.

These are a nightmare when you’re driving at night towards them,I’d personally get a second hand set of xenon headlights and install them.

I just fitted a set of H7 HID's from HID's4U to my BMW bike. They do a special H7 bulb that is designed to be used in a standard reflector headlight, you need to specify it when ordering if that's what your're doing.

As others have said, you should get a ballast box and igniter for each bulb, and when you order the car specific kits, the connectors are the right ones for you existing loom.

I found the HIDs4U kits to be top notch and came with fitting instructions. I'll try and copy them for you and post up here if I still have them.
