xenon bulbs??

[jamba]

i have had one of my xenon bulbs go on me and ordered replacement DS2, they arrived and they dont fit !?
the new bulbs have a completely different base to the original.
they are the Osram nightbreakers so i dont understand.
can anyone shed any light ( no pun intended) on this problem please.

Have you been sent the correct ones? Sounds like you've got the halogen version (h4/h7) rather than d2s. I'd start off by checking part numbers in the box against invoice and then contact whoever supplied them

Your car definitely not a cup which has normal halogen reflectors?

2nd photo is te new bulb I assume? And the first is your original?

If so they should twist out of the ignitor

bothe the same, the ignitor is the original, its the headlamp the new ones dont fit into :/

That's weird, I thought it was the ignitor that held the bulb in place rather than the bulb itself

i think its just my car tbh, had nothing but issues since i bought it :/

 

[jamba]

this is the new bulb from the bottom, its different :/
