Default HID bulb

Noob problem...

So my driver side headlight has been out for a few days. Before checking I assumed it had stock HIDs so I bought 6k stock fitting ones.

Low and behold the previous owner has an HID kit and the bulbs I bought don't fit. And actually I don't even know how to take the bulb out of the connector. Seems like the bulb/connector/wire are one piece and connect to the kit.

I should have taken pictures but I'm on my phone sorry guys.

Just seeing if you guys have any experience with the kits and what I should do. Thanks.

If the car had an aftermarket HID kit, the bulb size would be H11. If your car came stock with HIDs, then the D4S would have fit
