how do i put HID's in new projectors???

I'm sure there is a sensible and easy way of doing this but since most HID kits i've bought either came plug and play or pre-installed I'm really a total newb when it comes to HID modification.

I want to buy the DEPO projector head lights, but since they are for, i believe H7 bulbs and have a separate low/high beam lenses that means plug and play kits for our single lens 9007 bulb OEM head lights won't work with these...or is there an adapter i can get that will take the stock 9007 plug and split it into 2 H7 plugs?

You need to buy wires to make the ballast connect to the H7 connectors on the new lights. Your old 9007 plug will be used to plug into the new lights. you can use this connector:

HID Plug & Play Wire Harness H1, H3, H7 / one pair - eBay (item 190489170793 end time Jan-17-11 05:02:07 PST)

you will also obviously need H7 HID lightbulbs because the 9007s wont fit in the H7 housing.

Thanks man. I knew the bulbs are different. I was just wondering if this headlight swap was going to be a splice and modify type deal. Or pre-made conversion kit/plug and play type deal.

I now know I'll have to wait till spring because it will require me to do some wiring modification....something i don't want to do outside in 20 degree weather.
