Default Hid

I bought a set of projector headlights a year ago and a pair of h1 hid's. I wanted to put them in the projector side but the housing would not let them fit. I have been since then trying to figure out how to make them fit. I was curious to see if anyone has made them fit and knew what i had to do..

The hole that the bulb goes into is rectanglish and the wire that is on the side of the bulb will not let it turn and seat properly. Im not sure if they will even work so i figured i would ask.

yeah mine take h1 bulbs too. I did have a problem with one bulb being a tight fit. Keep playing around with them and swap bulbs with housings. For some reason, one bulb I have wont fit in one of the housings. It fits in the other housing and the other h1 bulb fits fine in both housings. Next time I take my heads off I'll snap a few pics. Theres a little notch in the bulb housing. You want to make sure the flat straight part of the bulb base is parallel to the notch on the bulb housing.

The reason they dont fit that great is because you most likely have projectors that arent made for HIDs. A regular H1 bulb has no wire and fits perfectly.
