http://www.ebay.com/itm/2003-2009-Me...9X9Z9m&vxp=mtr
The ones you bought are the old style, ones that I send you are the new updated style and claims that are compatible 2003-2009.. before buying send them a message with your vin so they can recheck for you

Can you pleas give me the part number of your headlight?
I believe there's the models without hids, with hids, and afs.
The right ones
This are pricey, see the description where they state the difference, check your ballast before ordering.
I checked again the ones that I sent you and they are 2007-09 models, but they claim otherwise.
Here's a retrofit that explains the difference.

Again, This are the right ones
There's no way to make the others work because you need the other connector to give juice to the hids, i'll be a mess just trying. Return them if you can and buy yhe right ones, the one I posted is 2 for one because you not only get the riight ones but you get the updated version ones.

Good afternoon,
Thanks for your follow up message and photo confirmation that you do have Factory Xenon and that you may have AFS from stock.
Just to be 100% sure, may I kindly ask if you can un-install the Control Module (not Ballast) to check the pins to see which one you have?
http://www.speedstersource.com/FISH/...1_03_D2S_D.jpg
If you have the Control Module "B" - then the lights you've purchased should be able to accept all of your transferred HID components. However, if you have Control Module "C" - then you have AFS from stock, which you would need to purchase a pair of OEM control Module "B" and code out the AFS function from your vehicle.
May I kindly ask if you can help confirm with me once more? Thanks again for your support!
Warmest Regards,
Christian ///////////////////////// so i did have old module so i did buy corect module x 2 what he was saying i do have c module and i need to get b module for my lights to work ,now he saying that i have to code out the AFS function from my vehicle. ?????? someone please expl this to me what and how to code out thanks

Ok so from the description of the headlights that I told you, the $450 ones, there see the difference.
from my understanding the non-hid version, the one you bought first don't use ballast underneath, the hid version, the one that I send you uses 2 ballast, and the AFS version use a different B ballast.
check the pins on the ballast of the one you removed from your car and post the pic here.

So you need the headlight with AFS system, if you order this ones you need two B modules and turn off the AFS in the DAS I guess.
I was looking for AFS headlights and they are over $650 a piece and the old style, not with the 3 horizontal lines on top. So I guess as the description says if you buy two B modules the would work. It'll be interesting to see if the dash trows an error as the AFS will not be available, please post result when you get the modules and install.

FWIW, I got LED taillights from fishcake on Ebay a year for so ago.
I kept my old taillights because I expected trouble.
They have been absolutely trouble free, far better than when I was trying to put LED bulbs in.
So the guy sells good stuff.

mine is avantgarde which came with leds. I want to buy the 2007 led version but don't know if it'll work, in debating on wether buying one used oem side first or a non oem duo... concern is if it'll work.
