535 viewsPut some blue Loctite on the bolt threads and snug the new cover back on. No need to be a gorilla and wrench down! The blue Loctite will insure the bolts don't back out. Here it is, installed.

528 viewsLooking down into the bulb housing cavity. The reflector will need to be moved forward just a tad, like a couple millimeters, to clear the taller HID bulb. If you get flickering or the bulb doesn't light up after installing the HID bulb then chances are good that the bulb is touching the reflector and shorting out.

526 viewsThe bulb connector pulls straight off. Notice that it is one unit. The high-beam bulb has one connector on the bulb and a separate one on the bulb holder. The high-beam bulb is also smaller. Thus it's easy to determine which bulb is which. However, to give yourself some additional maneuvering room, you may want to disconnect the high-beam connectors and remove the high-beam bulb as well.

512 viewsLooking that the bulb reflector/cover from the front of the headlight. Use the eraser end of a pencil through the opening to GENTLY push the reflector forward -- towards the headlight glass -- so the HID bulb won't touch it. Every panel on the reflector is EASILY bent so take your time and GO SLOWLY! You want to push from the center of the reflector and just a couple millimeters. Test fit the HID bulb and gently wiggle it around, feeling that the tip doesn't touch the reflector.
