HID upgrade headache

[RSG]

A few weeks back I got a 35W HID kit from HIDfoglight.com (bi-xenon high/low). The problem I'm having may well be solved by their tech support but since it is Saturday and I'm out of town most of next week I thought I'd see if anybody can help.

The base of these bulb assemblies are a bit wider and deeper than the stock 9007 halogens (accommodates an electromagnet), and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the bulb assembly into the connector ring. The base is just too "fat"

I should have taken some pix when I was doing it, but ran out of time (storm coming and sun going down) and started freezing my butt off...

(The "instructions" are worse than lame although the overall kit quality is good.)

Any ideas?

I had to file a little amount off the headlight base to get the bulb to fit in. After I did that is slid right in and I was able to turn it in to lock it in place.

And yes, the directions are horrible. Quality of the kit is good and the brightness of my 50W kit is unbelieveable.

Thanks Mike. I'll find a warm spot and a file this weekend. These are just the 35W, but I bet I'll like 'em. How much did you adjust down the lamps?
