Well, my dad ordered the kit (i told him H7 bulb size and 6000k)...and for some reason, either by his fault or the company, the H1 bulb size and 4300k was sent. I don't care that the color is 4300k but will the H1 bulb work with our cars? i really dont want to go through all of the hastle of returning an waiting for the replacement product...dealing with customs and china that would take a month!

 

No, it won't do...sometimes you can find adapters if the fitment is wrong, but I think the H1 bulb has an elbow.

 

No the H1 won't fit in the lens assembly holder. I mean you can try and take out the assembly and see if the blub will sit in the holder real quick, but i doubt it.

 

would it be better to try to find a pair of HID H7 bulbs around here or pay for the reshipment of all this stuff....

 

well i looked at the pictures of the H1 bulb and it does look like those bulbs have an elbow bend in them....the bulbs i recieved do not....they look like pictures of the H7 bulbs...i dont know...here are some pics i took of the bulbs

but on the box and on the enclosure that protects the bulbs it does say H1

1. Confirm that your father ordered H7 bulbs, not the H1 bulbs accidentally.
-If the H1 bulbs were ordered, then you might consider returning them for a refund and ordering the right ones.
2. If you father did order the H7 bulbs, contact the company with all of the order information, including order # and your information, and request that they send the correct bulbs that you ordered and pay for return shipping on the wrong bulbs they sent. Or you could re-sell the H1 4300K bulbs to someone else looking for them. Good Luck, and remember that your email probably won't be responded to for at least a day or two.

 

but dont the bulbs i have look like H7 and NOT H1

 

Well, give them a shot, see if they fit in the socket.

 

before you install ANYTHING confirm what was purchased. If the receipt calls out h7's, then confirm the base of the NEW hid bulbs to the base on your OLD halogens... are they the same base and flange? if so, install the things and enjoy, if not, no NOT attempt to install them. contact vvme, and confirm what happened. a misship is a free exchange according to their website.

by attempting to install the bulbs before verifying their right, you'r going to make it tougher on yourself to get an exchange. new in package will ALWAYS be an easier exchange than "i tired to use them but it can't be right..."

well they are h1 (i confirmed that) and it was my dad's fault that they shipped the wrong product. I am going tomorrow to see if i can find H7's locally or in teh states cheaper than the shipping fee's to and from china...also the wait would suck because both of my headlights are out now...so im gonna try my best tomorrow and if no dice...ill ship off
