Default E-Codes

I'm now in the market for E-codes and was wondering if the standard HID bulb will fit behind the projector, or do the need a shorter buld? Thanks.

Define a "standard HID bulb". They come in a variety of sizes. The bulb used is a D2S xenon capsule.

You have two options. Buy the xenon ecodes that are meant for HID, or alter the halogen Ecodes demonstrated at http://www.oemhid.com/

The HID's I have now are H7 bases made to work with OE 97 style headlights. I was Wondering If they were to long and would have interference with the projector or the shield that gives them the cut off.

I doubt you'll have problems. Are they much longer than a standard h7 bulb? If not then they will fit fine. Are you goign to buy the xenon or halogen ecodes?

I don't know and I was kinda wanting to avoid getting the bulbs back out and checking, but as for the E-codes, I'm not really sure. Another Q do you think these would work ok or do you know of any E-codes that are simeler.

Those have much worse build quality than factory Veleo 1 piece Ecodes.

i've been looking for black headlights forever, i've found the ones you posted above, and some more at importvision.com. i've been told that they suck and have bad condensation problems. lltek has a new kit coming out that's black (two-piece), but it's not out yet.
