Hi mate. Were they xenon or xenon look lights?

If you ask me, these look like they are rep xenons which would take the D2s and not H7 bulb.

The smaller plug connects to the igniter, that much I know. So the other looks like its for the ballast.

FYI h7 connection in xenon look headlamps:

D2S connections in xenon headlamps:

So I think you have the latter headlight type!

Hope this helps, Regards

Expensive then? And I'm guessing those two wires one is for ballast and the other the igniter

So you looking at around £200 for 2 ballasts and £100 for 2 igniters and £40 for adapter if yours standard

Looks like its possible to use this kit from what description says but i cant vouch for it as iv not tried it. Where possible its always safest to go OEM  :happy2: Good luck!

Does anyone know if the projector lense in depo xenon look headlights is the same as oem xenon headlight projector lense or is it specific to a halogen bulb?
