Carl The high beam should fit the same without any trimming. From memory only one of the lugs on each holder from the dipped beam require trimming. My advice would be to take the whole headlight unit out so you have a good view of exactly what's going on. Try and put the bulb holders into the back of the lights and it should be pretty apparent which you need to trim. I used wire cutters to snip off small pieces until they managed to fit well. I think the fog bulbs are also a direct replacement. (Good luck if you're putting a HID kit into the fogs - I found it a right PITA, but it does look cool ).

Nic Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 The high beam will fit fine with no need to trim, you will need new low beam bulbs though (your old low beam bulbs will fit, but are slightly too narrow, so will not seal properly).
