i think H4 bulbs can be used for dipped and main beam, and the box in your second pic says H4 H/L or something

I just figured it out lol - no they are just the dipped
and the box had several different diagrams for different bulbs, just above it was the H7 diagram although it was so straight forward I didn't look at it at all...
and to answer your previous question - my bro hooked me up with them as he has them on his pug already

Well been struggling to get good pictures on the HIDs but this is the best I got:
This is the beautiful shine - my nightbreakers in the projectors were crap!
...and I also installed it on my mates who has standard headlights but
BLOODY HELL their bright and the pattern is all over the place!
Manage to get a headache from him just driving behind me... But anyhow this is an example of how bright (p.s I've tone the contrast down a tad)

Nop they didn't take long to arrive but I think there's sommin wrong with Royal Mail and my area - I haven't heard from the postman for 2 days now and I haven't received any deliveries
HID's are EXTREMELY easy to fit - literally just plug and play, no cutting required. Just replace your regular dipped bulbs for the HID bulb and plug it all in

post is quite odd here too, sometimes they dont deliver the item and dont leave a card, or sometimes they just leave it on the doorstep.
yep i was just reading the instructions for my HID's and it says to cut a 25mm hole in the back of the headlight,

Maybe the cover to feed the wires through - I haven't done that but may do in the future...
What I have done is let the wires feed through the bottom of the headlight cover, take the metal clip that holds it off and only clip the top part in so it doesn't squash the cables and the cover is still fairly secure

Projectors direct the beam pattern better unlike my mates standard headlights which is really glarey in all 3 of my mirrors when he is behind me!

Was just looking on HIDS4U and saw that 'H7R' bulbs are specially designed for reflector style headlights and have anti glare bulbs, not sure if you can straight swap the bulbs but your mate could look into that

Sneaky Pic... Thought it looked fresh after paying for my petrol

...
Also I was wondering if there was any interest for my Eibach springs - as I may be changing to coilovers
