Well, is it possible to change out the stock hid to the bulbs(h7) on the projector lamps and how? I don't see wires from the dr2 bulbs.

I will refrain from talking about the rights and wrongs of using hid bulbs in housings designed for halogen bulbs, and the art of blinding other drivers.

But if your looking to just make it work, all you need is to buy h7 to d2r/d2s adapter rings which will mount on the bulb and allow the bulb to mount into the housing.

Cheapest easiest way to do it with no modifications. About $10.
