[s-cars] OEM HID headlights

[Sean Douglas]

Mark:

RS2 headlights? Do you mean S6+ headlights?

If you do have the OEM S6+ lights, then buying something from Hong Kong will
likely not work. On the S6+ lights, the bulb and ignitor are integrated,
with the ballast wired separelty. They are made by Hella, but is propriatary
and not avalbale in the aftermarket.
