My guess because these have the H7 bulbs and you may have to use the xenon which your car already have them and maybe have convert it.

Do you have xenons in your car? If so, then you might only need an adapter to hold D2S bulbs in the H7 reflector.


This is my guess. It's hard to tell without seeing the inside of the headlight in regards to what bulb you have and what the other one looks like.


Thanks.

It's not that simple. The xenon AFS can't be downgraded, unless you replace the module and harness. Find someone who would want to do the exchange for xenon.

No it's ok. I just found some LED lights strips that I'm going to put under the headlights. What do you guys think about these? Audi A5 R8 Style LED Strip Lights | LED Headlights | LED Driving Lights
