Need some help, is this a HID bulb? (Sorry I know absolute nothing about HID)
Off-side dipped stopped working last week, so bought an H7 to replace, and discovered this.
If it is, how do I source a replacement? (I'm assuming a previous owner converted the headlights if this is the case). The blue and red wires connect to another small connector (just out of shot in this photo).

HID (I think) Help
Yes, it's an aftermarket hid. Problem is you won't know what colour temp it is, although you can look at the ballast to see if it's a 35 or 55 kit.
Either order a pair of matching replacements, or if it's a 35w kit or recommend changing to a 55w one for the couple of quid more..
Whatever got do, make sure that you get lamps with a metal base as per that in the pic, the plastic based ones do not fit properly.
