Arrow Aftermarket HID headlight adapter

I just purchased HID headlights for my 1998 XJ8. However, when i went to install them i found out that they are not just plug and play.
Apparently i need some sort of H7 bulb adapter to secure the bulb to the headlight housing. Either that, or i have to drill out the stock clip (which i'm trying to avoid in case i want to go back to the stock lights).

Does anyone know where i can get this bulb adapter for a jaguar? I can find it for every other car except for jaguars!

Thanks in advance.

Anybody know where to get this adapter from?
Am I the only one who would like to install HIDs on their Jaguar?

I haven't done it to my Jag, but others here have. I haven't heard about anyone having to use an adapter.

I think you may have gotten the wrong update kit.

Default Whats' with the X308 posts?

I've been travelling for the last week and come back to find a whole bunch of posts for X308's in the X350 forum. What gives, do people no know what Jag model they are driving?

Can we please have some moderation to move posts to the correct fora?
