They dot fit straight in as described on eBay!!! Well peed off, hours of fiddling around and research on tr Internet apparently I have to buy hid adaptor kit to fit into the bulb housing?

Anyone else experienced this??
 
Just bought adaptors off eBay for £6 fingers crossed they work!!

Do I need decoder for them to work?? I tested them for 3 mins and they lit with no errors??
 
Sorry I've took a while to reply mate, I had the same problem. All i did was unclip the metal twist connection from the original bulb socket/holder, then cut a slot in it with a dremmel so I could feed the wires through (I think this is how the adaptors work) . It's abit floppy when cut but once it's twisted into position it's fine, solid as a rock.
 
Thanks I got the adaptors so think they work, did you have to buy a decoder or anything to make the lights work?
 
Nop, I bought can-bus compatible models which are designed to work with BMW's etc. I'd say you'll be fine if you've already had them running and they didn't throw up any errors mate, should show up straight away if you were to have a problem! :thumbsup:
 
Well they did work without starting the car just tested 1 after the car started blinked for ages and went out! And the light bulb came on in car, I think I need the decoder? These were £33 off a guy on eBay!! He's done me hasn't he?
 
I expect they might blink during the light bulb check cycle, as my X5 halo replacement LED bulb does the same.

Should not get an error though, means the loading is not right.
