Did you not get an H7 kit? The bulb just goes int he H7 holder, but you may have to unhook one side of the clip to get it around the wires.

If you are not on a budget Hey the quad projectors. Go to eBay and search for w209 projectors

I guess I'm confused - why do you need any adapters? I installed an H7 HID kit in my lights and the bulbs just fit right in the existing holders. The only issue was that standard H7 bulbs just have two blades and the wiring harness snaps on them after they are locked into the clips in the headlights. With HID H7 bulbs, they have a wiring harness installed and it won't fit through the clip. You have to squeeze the clip together to completely remove it from the headlight, install the bulb, the re-install the retainer clip. Yes, I know it's hard to do all of this with the headlights installed, but that's how you do it. A mirror and good lighting helps.

Yep, that's a typical conversion kit. Like I said, with regular halogen H7 bulbs, you disconnect the wiring harness then the metal retaining clip can swing over the base of the bulb, but the HIS bulbs wiring harness is permanently attached, and too large to pass through the loop of the metal retainer. That's why you have to remove the retainer where it hinges, insert the bulb, then re-clip the retainer into the headlight and snap it back in place.

Rudeney, which conversion set did you get and are you happy with it? there seems to be different wattage options and I dont want anything that throws an error message or gets too hot

Honestly, I don't know. Remember I replaced my headlights with the quad projectors. They came with an HID kit installed on the low-beams, then I added a kit for the high-beams. I bought it on eBay and it was claimed to b a high-quality set with no errors, and so far so good.
