I know theres a way to "rebase" d2r bulbs, i think theres a way to rebase them to the H3 format. I have an HID kit and want to stick it into my fogs. I guess it would be easier to sell my kit to some unfortunate 5.5gen owner and buy an H3 kit for the same price but i dont want anything over 6,000k, preferable 4300k.

 

Rebasing the d2r to h3 would be very hard, since the h3 has a small base. And even if you could do it, the focal points arent the same since the HID bulb is longer.

 

do u know where i can get the instructions? Im willing to give it a try.

 

try www.hidforum.com or www.hidtech.com

 

I actually read a write up of the whole procedure, there was a link somewhere on hidforum.com. I don't remember exactly, but you don't "rebase" the bulb but slightly modify it. I think the guy used some regular screws to hold the bulb in place.

 

See "H3 HID" on:

Tried to see if the bulb even fits and its not overing the entire hole which might allow moisture in and fog my fogs. I know you gotta somehow cut the base of th D2 bulb to the form of the H3 but these are about 70 times more expensive than the h3 so i dont want to mess it up. If you got a link, post it, i want to see what they did. Worse comes to worst, ill get some small BMW projector from X5 and open up the hole on the foglight like Rodman on a virgin midget.
