There is no performance or consumption difference, it's just the way the bases are mounted. If you are confident in doing the necessary mod yourself, just take your white plastic bulb holder base and hold it next to your h7 hid bulb. you will then be able to mark where you need to cut a few pieces out. trim slowly and carefully, and test fit after every cut, so you can avoid overcutting. i would advise using some sort of a snipping tool as opposed to a high speed rotary tool==unnecessary vibration could cause bulb to break. a good pair of dykes should get the job done.
yeah, for right now i might just modify the base of the h1..maybe just glue the plastic ring to the base of the h1 bulb or do something so that it will be able to clip into the oem headlight assembly..but yeah send me the photos when you get your car back..that would be awesome..
