Hope to install them this weekend I have attached photos of the bulbs

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but I don;t want others to make the same mistake as I.

I installed the HID bulbs in my projector the other day. The beam was very poor and scattered. Not like the nice beam you see from stock HID projectors. After doing some research yesterday, I discovered that Halogen projectors, which are what our kits come with and HID projectors are different. They have different internal parts and focal points. This is why my beams were so scattered. I didn't try to adjust mine and simply returned them. You may be able to make the HID bulbs work in the halogen projector housing with some adjusting and aiming though. As you can see the HID bulb is slightly larger than the halogen, thus the focal point is changed.

Totally agree with your findings re. HID bulbs in the halogen projectors. You can order a shorter HID bulb as I did, but I've just yesterday reverted to the halogen bulbs after finding the scattering. Hope this is a lesson to our members here. DO NOT PUT AFTERMARKET HIDS IN YOUR PROJECTOR HEADLAMPS.

The halogens do a very nice job however. I am very pleased and surprised with the light they produce.
