Did you buy the lense cover or the complete foglight. I just ordered the smoked grey lense covers and was wondering if they will hold up to 35w HID. They are acrylic I believe.

I just used a flat head screwdriver to push the metal reflector forward. Make sure that the hid bulb doesn't touch the reflector because it will get hot and melt the inside of the housing.

Yep, do what chauncey said. For some reason the bulbs dont fit and the HID bulb is slightly longer than the stock fog bulb. Just be careful not to push/bend too hard. Move it back enough to fit the bulb. push then fit until just right

Had that problem too, but used a heat gun to remov the front clear lens, then 'to my surprise' had to pry the aluminum square out of each housing, took some doing. re-sealed the lens to the housings with clear caulk (silcone), then the HID6000K's fit. :emotions122: did not think (at the time) about just pushing them forward a little.
