Porsche HIDs

Hey guys well i bought some Porsche HIDs off of a friend, and now i need to know how i can get them to fit, i was quoted 75 for them to like glue the bulb in place or somethingl ike that, but i wasnt really trying to do that i was thinking like a nice job... so how should i go about doing this?
anyone have any ideas or suggestions the bulbs are D2S H4, not 9006, which is where the problem lies....

i think H4 bulbs are high and low beam in one bulbs. Think its gonna be a lot of work...you'll have to chance the harness and relay, could be more stuff you'll have to change.

you should wire your 9005 hibeams to be daytime runners with some yellow or something, then do those h4 projectors (bixenon's I guess, I wouldn't know)... IMO
Seems like a wiring nightmare, though.

i really dont know how that would work. im pretty sure the h4 bulb is too big to fit in opening without making it bigger. and even if it were u will still have to modify the housing so u can slide it in enough that the bulb is completely inside the reflector.
not to mention without a bi xenon projector it's not going to work well. ur missing the adj shutter and electronics. u have no way to switch the beam pattern.

I don't have a clue on the schematics and wiring for the Bi-Xenon projectors. I'm not sure if you could make them work while doing a retro fit, maybe they have to be plugged into a harness like the leveling motors? I say easiest thing for you, sell those bulbs on eBay and find a set of 9006 HID bulbs. Save money in the long run, and also you wont need a projector

i don't know about the whole "bi-xenon" deal, but anyways... i have a custom setup for my HID's. more like a ghettorig than a custom setup.. anyways, here it goes.

first off, all HIDs are the same, they just need power to the ballast and you can see how they'll run for you. get quick connects so that you don't have to splice wires, and clip them onto the wires for your stock lowbeams. then you can F around with them to see how well they'll work. i'm going to redo my setup to make it more stable, but it seems to be holding up fine. i just stuck my bulbs in and they fit fine, and they don't move, no glue necessary. if you get them to work, but they dont' fit in well, don't glue it, sell them bitches. =) good luck
