help...headlight install
Well I upgraded my bulbs to HIDs... I took the old bulbs out and I cant seem to get the bew bulbs to to fit perfectly yes they are 9006 bulbs
... I got one side in to click into place but the other i am having the hardest time 
I think I many have bent the bracket or something... I dunno... I plan on taking apart the headlight so I can either fix what i bent or broke... any help would be great

I changed both my low & high beam bulbs, the high are fairly easy after you remove the bezel, but the low's are a bear! That is unless you have hands the size of a 5 year old with the strength of a 21 year old body builder. 
To make my life easier I removed the top covers and then removed the 2 pins (bolts actually as I recall) that hinge the whole assembly, place a big towel in front of the headlight and then flip the whole assembly out (it will still be attached to the car), this makes it a breeze to get to the bulbs, well worth the few minutes it takes to remove the hinge. Good luck!
