ewww ebay bulbs.... Why would you put shit bulbs in one of the best bi-xenon projectors?

Now to answer your question. It should be plug and play.

Those are better off on your Christmas tree...Your better off with a bulb from Philips or osram ...Our Xenon blubs are expensive for a reason "Quality"...

your better off with your money here...

Cheap Ebay bulbs can burn the chrome inside your projector bowls which will cause hot spots

I have an 08 so I can't get the led bar type I did however get some 68 SMS LEDs from eBay and harnesses from ijdmtoy tho.......one more thing on that site the retrofit source.com they sell three different Hid bulbs Phillips,orsam and morimoto. Out of the three which is best bcuz I'm confused I want the 6000k look because that's the light color I'm going after with my upgrade

go for Osram 66240 5000K D2S CBI. if you were looking for that 6k light look while keep it close to 4.3k...the osram 5k wont lose that much light output as a 6k would...

you dont need 6k for a good color shift look here..
