You will need to either use double sided tape or a small zip tie to hold it in place. I just changed my HID bulbs last night. What a pain in the ***. Its a difficult task unless you got baby doll arms and hands.

Hopefully your car already has HID or you will need a CANBUS ballast for the HID to work...

H7 is a halogen standard. The HID bulbs are D1S... I guess OP needs to figure out if they have factory HIDs or not lol

This is the piece that you need to make it snap into place, some LED kits come with this piece and some do not. You can attempt to find that piece on eBay, im not sure if they sell it seperate from the kits.

This is exactly what mine has. Again, you will have to either use double sided tape or a zip tie to hold them in place on the bulb. Good luck.
