Supra N_A Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 hey fitting my HID bulbs atm bought them in the group buy from darret i am having a problem with the bulb staying in the headlight basically it should turn to lock the bulb in place but it just doesnt want to turn to be locked in the headlight! with the stock bulb it just turns and locks in to position! the bulb is in postion but does not want to turn to lock any ideas on what i can do?

Scott Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Did you get the correct bulbs? Glass headlights are different from plastic. Plastic size will fit glass but not vice-versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kill1308 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I had to modify mine to fit, I filed the fascia where the bulb sits so that it matched what was coming out of the headlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcAB10 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 At a guess I'd say the wrong bulbs were sent out to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcgoo Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I had to modify mine to fit, I filed the fascia where the bulb sits so that it matched what was coming out of the headlight. When I fitted my hid kit (not from this group buy) I also had to modify it slightly. Just a little bit of filing on one of the locking tabs.

marcAB10 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I had to put one of my locking tabs the wrong way round to get it to work on the passenger side headlight(randomly tried it.. And glad I did! Lol). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra N_A Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 drivers side is in and secure but fitting the passanger side is a nightmare i have filled loads of the plastic and it is still not fitting and one of the clips broke off due to it been thin from filling it down!!! grrrrrr supra fitment there supposed to be !!! defo not! sick of getting stuff when traders are saying things are designed for your car and it just doesnt fit! these are just universal ones!

Scott Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 IIRC I had to put one of the tabs into one of the slots, holding the bulb at a slight angle, and then rotate the bulb to line up to the other 2 slots... push in and twist. Job done. I must admit to not having any issues other than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt _Aero top_ Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 if i remember correctly i had trouble with mine and it was down to the O ring round the bulb , just take it off and replace it with the ones off the OEM bulbs you took out and hey presto it should fit .

spidermonkey Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Undo the screws on the bulb holders a little, fit the bulb, redo the screws up, they can be a tight fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
