Not really the best but might buy him time while doing a retrofit. Don't know how much time he has.

I'm guessing H7. Can you take a pic directly from the top and bottom of the bulb (So I can get a better view of the outline of the base)?

Okay great, thanks.

So, I can get some Hella 90mm H7 projector housings, and put these H7 bulbs in? I know they may not be the best projector, but they should reduce the glare enough to keep me safe / legal, while being minimal fuss to install?

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

Yup.

Check out the Lighting FAQ for some installs.
