ok,I searched,but no answer,
as topic says,I installed altezza headlights on my vx,then I bought some hid kits,but the bulbs won't fit into the projector socket
the bulb itself will just fit into the socket through the middle curved part of the socket,but there's another wire going parallel to the bulb which makes the bulb too wide to go through
I got H1 bulbs 4300k
I see plenty of vx with altezza lights+hid,do I need to modify the socket?or I need thinner bulbs?
What brand?

both altezza lights and hid kits are ebay products,no brand,not oem,
bulb itself is same size as halogen h1 bulb which came with the headlights,it's the wire besides the bulb makes the bulb a bit wide hence cant go through the middle part of the socket,the middle part of the socket is a bit wider,thats also the part where the original h1 halogen can only go through
That wire you are talking about is the positive wire, you have to unplug it from where it is and connect it to the hid ballast. I have the exact same headlights and im running Jaycar 6000K H1 HID's and it all went in with no issue at all
??
I'm talking about the returning leads for the bulb,it sits parallel to the bulb body
so your hid h1 bulb just slides in the projector socket?
thats strange,
the original halogen h1 bulb slides in the socket without any problem,so would the hid h1 bulb,except the returning leads for hid bulb makes the bulb body wont align to the middle part of the socket which is wider and thats where the original bulb slides in as well
