Question Rx-8 HID Light Conversion Kit?

Hey Guys,
I bought a pair of H7 HID bulbs for my 2005 RX-8 and they did not fit, they were really lose in the socket in which they were suppose to go. My buddy who is a mech. told em that the bulbs were universal and that rx-8's have to come with a conversion kit of somesort. So I was just wondering what HID Kit you guys bought for your RX-8's. Thanks guys much appreciated.

Yeah, they are D2S type, your H7s won't come close.

The good news is that you can get 'em on ebay for about $15 a set, in the color of your choice.
