I'd do a search if I were you about that. They definately will workthough. I have read about it on here before. There is even a thread with pictures somewhere. I'm not sure about the exact bulb size though. Definately hit the search, I'm sure you will find your answer.

I have the Helix dual projectors. I'm working on installing my BMW M5 hid kit currently. Having some problems though....I keep blowing fuses and the bulbs dont fit this pirticular housing. So I need to find some HID bulbs that fit the Helix housing. Also need a wiring diagram for the xB headlights. Once I get that and install them, I can post up a how-to.

Only problem with htis is, you dont know exactly what you are getting. People somtimes switch the bulbs and give you low grade crap. Avoid ebay, go to a tuner shop, or a local dealer.

The ebay projectors are cheaper then the Helix ones. They are just as good in quality....I'm sure the guys at Helix will argue this, but my opinion is not biased like theirs would be.

To the guys that want to adjust the beam. There are screws on the unit for adjusting the beam lol.

Anyone know where I can find a wiring diagram for the xB's lights?

I actually dont know the exact location. Let me search for the original thread with like 30 pages in it. That is the thread that has the pics with the location.

Edit: ok heres the SL link.

i fixed mine today, that little white plastic deal thats mounted to the fender behind your light it was pushing up my light and making it crooked. so i dremeled a piece of it of today and my lights are straight as an arrow, now i am going to order a set of hid's tomorrow. i also disconnected my outside halo's and just left the middle two just for something different and besides one of them wasnt working and it was easier than fixing it.

I figured out why I am blowing fuses with the HID's. I need an aftermarket wiring harness. This should run me between $30-$40. The reason is, some ballasts run at 200 amps. Mine just happen to be the ones that leak that extra power. After I get this, I need a set of bulbs that fir this unit. Or some kind of adapter. If anyone knows what hid bulbs fit into the dual halo-projectors...pleaase feel free to chime in.
