Hi Guys

need to try and fit a hid kit to my mates 525d for him.

Im i correct in thinking, we remove the original bulb and holder. Attach the holder to the xenon bulb and secure back in?

Any pictures or installation tips would be great

Thanks

plain straight though i don't recommend this way of getting HID lights you'll blind everyone on the road.
