DRANGED, what color gasket does your HID bulbs have? Red or Yellow? If both are yellow, then Im pretty sure the bulb that I have with the red gasket was prob given to me by mistake. Instead I was should have the same as you. Both yellow...?...?

Hmmm.. Dunno if its gonna fit, but give it a shot. I had issues with the red o ring on mine, but you might have better luck then me. This will be interesting to see what happens. Keep us posted.

cables are not the same, the bulb attachment has 2 metal pins/clips instead of a plug that going into the OEM plug...
