Is it plug and play kit out there?i have litronics now but the light output even after new bulbs replacement is poor.
Can someone steer me to easy ballast/bulb upgrade?

I hope your're not driving towards me at night with those suckers installed! That will be very, very bright.

I have an mk1 but with led headlights. If you don't already aftermarket HID's installed it's a bit of a project. You will need to drill a hole in the back of the headlight to run the wires out. My kit came with rubber gromets so everything is sealed well. I got the slim 35watt kit and they were very easy to hide behind the headlights. I have two sets-Headlights and fog lights.

Hey guys,

I have an 03 C4S with the projectors (post facelift), but no HIDs. So I got a DDM H7 55W kit (have had good luck with DDM kits in two other cars so far). I took the headlight apart today, but the bulbs seem to be of the wrong variety. Can anyone look at the photos attached and tell me exactly what kind of bulbs I need to get from DDM (bulb on left is stock bulb and bulb on right is the DDM H7).
