Struggle to get HID's to stay..

[G8RSH]

I know ill probably get some negative comments here, but I can't seem to get the HID bulb to stay in the lamp.. I ordered new bulb clips and still is a struggle to get them to stay firmly in, any help?

Not that this has anything to do with it, but:

Are you using projectors or reflectors?

What bulb fitment have you bought?

If he has a campus OE it would be reflectors and telling by the pic they look like reflectors.

You need to get the metal bulb holder and put it in place as it would go but on the hid bulb. You can either cut the rubber bung away (the rubber grommet the wires go though) and feed the wires into the hole or you can trim a slot in the bulb holder to allow the wires to slide into the hole.

It's all the correct fitment etc, but the clip is such a struggle to get the lugs to fit into the slots, can only get one in Have been told by various people it takes patience and a big push..

On mine they had a rubber O ring which was too big, stopping them going in, but yours don't appear to have one.

Cut them out, made it easier to separate wires..

No, it was on the actual bulb. But yours don't have them.

Oh, what HID kit was yours?

 

[McGherkin]

Mine were for a Ph.1 so different fitment. Usual eBay kit though.

HIDs... In reflectors... A certain song comes to mind...

"the chavs lights hurt my eyees " hehe

Tbf they look nice and mean you can actually see at night... What power have you gone for? And I guess you just aim them down to not get pulled?

 

[McGherkin]

I'm hoping he's actually using projectors.

Hoping.

I drove in the dark last night for the first time in a good few weeks, maybe even a month or two and realised how bad the distance even on high beam is... :/ never used to bother me as I got used to it... Ah well.... Wish I had projectors and HIDs

Easier to take your headlights off the car to fit the bulbs. I did.

​Or get projector headlamps. Yeh definitely the latter.
