HID installation problem
I just got in my HID kit and went to install it my 97 ES300. Turns out because of the factory plug that connects to the original H7 hologen bulb my HID bulb base is just a hair to small for the bulb housing. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. I thought of using high heat silicone on the bulb housing and letting it set and then installing to get a tighter fit but not sure it will work.

Thanks bro. I am making a spacer out of a pipe with the same width, diameter and length as the adapter so I can still keep the option of using the hologen. I expand business all over the country so I need them as a back up just in case I have a light blow on the road. If my design dosnt work I will order the adapter you drilled and do it your way.

i ended up using a piece of square tubbing. I cut it with the exact gap between the bulb base and the adaptor base. it worked perfect. looks awsome. is ther a certain way to position the bulbs. one beam is higher than the other. i just had my headlights aligned at the lexus dealership.
