Just lost a HID bulb, blown with black burnt exterior lol. What is needeed to return these to standard as i am struggling to get a replacement bulb, people only offer full kits and i cant be arsed to spend £60ish on a new conversion kit.

Is it easy to return to standard?

Yes mate - stupidly easy as long as no wires were cut in the process of installing the HiD kit.

I have just installed my HiD kit and therefore by reversing the process you should be able to get the desired affect!

From the Ballast of the HiD kit there should be two wires, a positive and negative going into a small plastic black box. Disconnect these, plug this into a new bulb and Bobs your Uncle. This is where the Ballast and therefore the HiD kit gets its power from.

I can get pictures if you have no luck?

I hope this helps.

Sorry, feel a little bit of a plonker, the ones i have after digging them out are for H4 lamps and you need H7 style.

Sorry. Carl
